The Subconscious

 

          Hi Everyone! Welcome And Happy Friday

          You probably had visited a supermarket at some time and whilst in the supermarket, a piece of music you had never heard was being played. And you spent a little while in the supermarket, by the time you got back to your apartment going about normal activities you find the song resonating in your head! It's so shocking, right! There was never any record of you taking out time to master the lyrics, the beat, or the sound, but here is the song playing right in your head. 

            The very thin line between the conscious and the unconscious is the subconscious. It's commonly known as the part of the mind that Is not focused but; it's also a gateway by which things get into you. So you had probably wondered how some things just flip your mind. You have no prior knowledge on how they got to your awareness. This part of the mind picks impulses from the environment primarily with less or none of your engagement, whilst the conscious requires attention, the subconscious, on the other hand, doesn't even require your attention, the only thing it requires is the gateway to your mind which is your ears. A few interesting facts about the subconscious are;

1. The subconscious is sensitive to a specific stimulus. An example of such could be music

2. It's not a detailed state

3. Impulses received through this channel can't last long on their own

4. Impulses received from this channel can migrate to become part of our consciousness

           With the understanding of these three concepts, you ought to have understood that the things that become well lined up in your mind require your attention!

Now you'd ask 

What is attention?

Do you probably think you know enough about attention already?

It's a common term that can be outsourced anywhere

   Well, I'm starting a series on attention next!

   Till then stay aware!
