Subliminal messages have many uses. Some are good and many are bad.
Since I am a positive person I want to in the next few paragraphs think
about all of the potentially good uses of these messages to our
sub-conscious.
First though you need to understand the power of the human mind and how
much what you think affects your outcomes. Think about all the ways that
positivity makes good things happen. In sports is a great example.
Especially at the elite level it isn't the athletic ability that
separates those guys and gals. What separates them is their mental game.
How strong are they under pressure, how much can they push themselves,
do they think that they are going to be successful or fail? In every
case it is those athletes that don't even think about or worry about
failure that are wildly successful. So what does this have to do with
subliminal messages? Right?
Well as sports psychologists have looked into the differences between
successful and unsuccessful athletes they have found something very
interesting that goes on in the human mind. They have found that
attitudes about winning and failure are not right on the surface of the
conscious mind. It makes sense too because their sports don't allow much
other than the immediate action fill their conscious mind. So how are
the good athletes positive? Well psychologists have found that they have
an all encompassing positivity about life in general not just their
sport. This positivity resides somewhere in their subconscious minds
which is exactly where subliminal messages have their effect.
The cool thing is that this isn't necessarily a permanent thing. This is
cool for athletes that are very talented but just need a boost in the
mental game and it is especially good for the sports psychologists
because they wouldn't have a job if it weren't for the ability to train
someone to have a winning attitude. Various techniques are use such as
conscious visualization of success in their sport, or cognitive
behavioral therapy which trains a person to make positive assumptions in
their conscious and subconscious minds, and subliminal messages which
they have found is a great way to provide athletes with the mental edge
of positivity that resides mostly in their subconscious.
