Zen & The Art of NLP with Dr. Stephen Simpson: A lot more success with a lot less stress™: The power of balancing the conscious mind with the unconscious mind, and managing the ego

Here's a breakdown of the conscious mind, unconscious mind, and ego and how they work together (or sometimes against each other). Get this right and you will soar like an eagle. Get this wrong and life could be very challenging and not much fun.

The Conscious Mind:

• Picture the conscious mind as the visible tip of an iceberg, where your current thoughts, feelings, and sensations reside, like the sunlit surface of the sea.
• You're aware of what you're thinking about, what you're feeling right now, and what you're perceiving through your senses.
• This is where you make conscious decisions, solve problems, and analyze information.

The Unconscious Mind:

• This is the vast, mysterious underwater part of the iceberg.
• It contains everything you're not currently aware of but that still influences you.
• This includes:
• Memories, both positive and negative, that may be tucked away.
• Deep-seated emotions and motivations.
• Learned habits and behaviors.
• Unconscious biases that shape your perceptions.

The Ego:

• The ego acts as a mediator between the conscious and unconscious mind.
• It's part of the conscious mind that tries to satisfy our needs and desires while following the rules of the real world.
• The ego helps us form our sense of self-identity and navigate social situations.
