I was unknown about the fact that that we have two parts of the mind functioning for us every day and getting things done for us trying to solve every problem ahead of us.
The two parts of the mind are the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is something which we are aware of and use every day but we are unaware of the other mind which is very powerful so much so that its capability is infinite.
For example, when in beginning you try to master car driving skills you are using your conscious mind. But after you become master at it, it gets hard wired in your subconscious mind and it automatically works for you and you no more have to worry about little things and completely rely on your subconscious mind to get you at your destination safely.
People with good intellectual knowledge are mostly using their conscious mind. Whereas artists, thinkers, and visionaries use their subconscious mind to guide them to reason with things.
Actively using your subconscious mind is an art. It can only be harnessed when you are at ease and are not stressed out. We can never surpass the conscious mind but we can only train it not to get freaked out and keep itself at ease.
Working Smart
Working smartly is a good technique to use your subconscious mind to help you with getting things done. The subconscious mind has all the answers to any problem you can ever face. It has already recorded billions of ideas and can make a connection within them in no time. If you can make a habit to be relaxed while you are working then you are smartly using your subconscious mind.
So to get effective and successful at anything, be relaxed, get yourself devoted to working for some pre-decided time like 1 hour or 30 minutes. Go through the whole challenge. Do not act fast, understand the problem. Now, think creatively in mind what is the best and fastest way to do it. Your mind will equate and answer you and now do the task. Devotion is the formula. Just do one thing at a time and do not worry about anything else.
Working Hard
On the other hand, working hard will make you a dumb person. you will stress out your conscious mind with all that intellectual knowledge and which in turn will freak out your subconscious mind. Freaking out the subconscious mind will make you non-confident and un-effective with work. You might also get to know that you have wasted time doing the thing that you should not be doing at all.
So try to work smart and not hard – Smart work creates good quality and effective ideas and happiness. Someone practicing it is definitely heading towards a successful life and more opportunities.
Thanks!
