🤔 Once You Know Better, You Do Better…

It seems silly to say something like that, doesn’t it.

.

But it’s true.

.

Until you discover a better way of doing something…

.

maybe a better way of thinking…

.

you don’t know any better…

.

and will continue to do the same thing…

.

or think the same way.

.

When you discover a more beneficial…

.

more efficient way of doing something…

.

or a more efficient and beneficial way of thinking…

.

you’ll start to see and experience a different outcome.

.

More specifically…

.

it’s your subconscious mind that controls this.

.

You see…

.

the subconscious mind learns from past experiences…

.

and stores these away for future reference for when a similar event happens again.

.

It can then refer to the archives…

.

and govern your behaviour in the same way it did before when the past experience happened.

.

It does this to keep you safe and alive.

.

Unfortunately…

.

sometimes the behaviour, although it kept you safe…

.

wasn’t the most efficient or beneficial way of doing whatever it was.

.

Yet it’s stored as ‘truth’...

.

and will continue to action that behaviour…

.

even though there may be a better way of dealing with the issue at hand in the present moment.

.

So…

.

how do you overcome this?

.

You simply have to analyse your behaviour…

.

and ask yourself if it’s currently the best way to be dealing with whatever problem you’re facing.

.

Of course that can be quite difficult…

.

especially if you’re unaware of any other choices available.

.

And that’s where a Coach, Therapist, Counsellor or whoever you choose to go and see…

.

comes into play.

.

They open up new avenues of thought.

.

They challenge your thinking.

.

They help you see from different perspectives.

.

Leading to new ways of thinking…

.

and new ways of living and behaving.

.

“You don’t know what you don’t know”

.

Another silly quote…

.

but one that actually makes sense when you think about it.

.

Are you thinking or behaving in a way that is best serving you?

.

Ask yourself that question and think about it really carefully.

.

Perhaps you think you are.

.

But are you really?
