Problem? Ask your subconsious
We all have the odd little problem and sometimes they are whopping great big problems and we need a solution. We need to know what to do, who to ask, where to go and generally sort them out. And while the solution may be found outside of ourselves, it's quite possible that we have the answer to how to go about it within ourselves. Our subconscious mind is an enormous resource that we could probably use far more than we do. I know I can. The thing to do is ask ourselves for the answer.
However, much as this seems simple, we may not get the response from our subconscious quite so easily if we're not going to be receptive to it. This means we need to be pretty relaxed and not thinking too much, as thinking gets in the way. Often when we have a problem we say that we must think about it. This is no doubt true and we can give masses of thought to an issue and still not have the answer. This is the very time when we should stop thinking about it and let our subconscious work it out. And to do this we need to be relaxed.
When are you most relaxed and going to be at your most receptive to your subconscious? It's likely to be in the early hours of the morning when you're just starting to wake up and before you begin thinking about things. You can take advantage of your early morning relaxed state to find solutions for any problem you have.
When you go to bed, think about a particular situation that you may want guidance on or that you want to know how to resolve. Ask yourself what should you do about this, over and over again. Hold the problem in your mind and ask your subconscious for a solution. After five minutes, put it out of your mind and go to sleep. When you start to wake up, allow your mind to drift and you may find that your subconscious provides the answer. Be aware of what comes to mind when you’re in this half dreamy state, so you can give it your consideration later. You may just have the answer to your problem. It may surprise you. You may find that when you start thinking about it your conscious mind starts to rationalise why you should not do this and it's rediculous but that is likely because our fears and doubts start to kick in. Take heed of what your subconscious said. There's likely to be a whole lot more truth and basis for this being a valid answer than we realise.
Sometimes it's good not to think too much when we have an answer, to be brave, to go for the big one. JFDI. I did it exactly this way when I changed my place of work. I woke up one morning with a crazy notion (at least that's how my conscious mind considered it once I'd started thinking about it) but it worked.... and I've never looked back.
Ask your subconscious mind for the answer to a situation when you're going to bed and see what answer you get in the morning. If there's no answer, just do it again the following night. You're mind will work it out.
It's just so wonderful how we have such a huge resource at our fingertips. It's there to be used, but as with any skill, it can take a little time to know how to ask, and also how to let the answer come to you.
