Subconscious Mind — Simple Guide for Daily Life & Leadership
A clear explanation for Sarim (construction leader) to understand and train the subconscious mind for money, leadership, and English.
The subconscious mind is the part of your mind that works below your awareness but controls most of your automatic thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
Iceberg Picture (Easy to Remember)
- Conscious mind (above the water) = what you are thinking about right now.
- Subconscious mind (under the water) = much bigger, silently controlling habits, emotions, beliefs, and memories.
👉 You only “see” a little bit of your mind. The real power is under the surface.
Easy Definition
➡️ The subconscious mind is the automatic part of your mind that stores your habits, beliefs, emotions, and past experiences — and influences your daily decisions without you realizing it.
Here are the main areas controlled mostly by your subconscious:
1. Habits
- Driving on a familiar road without thinking step-by-step
- The way you speak with workers, family, and clients
- How you react when you feel stressed on site
2. Emotions & Reactions
- Getting angry very fast
- Feeling scared of some situation (meeting, big client, big money)
- Feeling confident or not confident
3. Beliefs
- “I can do it” or “I cannot do it”
- Beliefs from childhood (what parents, teachers, society told you)
- Beliefs about money, relationships, success, English, business
4. Automatic Body Functions
- Breathing
- Heartbeat
- Digesting food
5. Memories
- Experiences from childhood
- Good and bad memories stored deep inside
If your worker makes mistakes every time when you are not watching him, that is his subconscious habit working.
Or when you see a difficult project but still feel confident — that confidence comes from your subconscious beliefs.
As a leader (Sarim):
- Your workers’ performance = their subconscious habits + training.
- Your decision quality = your subconscious beliefs about risk, money, and people.
- Your leadership style = automatic patterns you learned from family, school, and experience.
Researchers estimate that around 95% of your daily decisions come from the subconscious, not the conscious mind.
If you want to:
- become richer
- become a better leader
- speak English better
- grow your business
- have strong confidence
…you must train your subconscious mind, not only your conscious mind.
1. Repetition (រៀនម្តងហើយម្តងទៀត)
Your subconscious learns by repeating the same thing many times.
- Repeat positive beliefs (affirmations).
- Repeat skills (like English speaking, sales script, safety talk).
2. Visualization (ស្មានឃើញច្បាស់ៗ)
Imagine your goals clearly, like a 3D model in your mind:
- Imagine your construction company successful, with many projects.
- Imagine speaking English confidently with clients and foreigners.
- Imagine having many good clients who trust you.
3. Positive Self-talk (និយាយល្អជាមួយខ្លួនឯង)
Say powerful sentences to yourself every day:
- “I can learn fast.”
- “I succeed step by step.”
- “I’m a good leader and I keep improving.”
4. Environment (បរិយាកាស)
Stay around positive people; your subconscious learns from what it sees and hears every day.
- Choose friends who like learning and growth.
- Spend time with leaders who take responsibility.
- Limit time with negative people who always complain.
Short Summary
➡️ The subconscious mind controls your habits, emotions, beliefs, and automatic actions. It is powerful and affects almost everything you do — even when you don’t notice it.
