Coaching Your Subconcious mind ( Sunday Best Reads)

I have wondered why some people can crack the exam after one another and others struggle. Some people achieve a lot and some people achieve nothing even if he or she gets the same opportunities. These questions are explained by Dr Joseph Murphy in his book called “The Power of Subconscious Mind”. The book was published in 1962. The book has application in our engineering life too. You can draw lessons from the book and apply it practically in your day to day life.

Dr Murphy states that how our subconscious mind can rescue us from a chaotic & problematic life to a healthy and successful one. Our mind works in two ways; conscious and subconscious way. When you make a decision or choose, it is your conscious mind taking shots. The subconscious mind controls activities like breathing, blood circulation, digestion, etc. Whatever the conscious mind believes or choose, the subconscious mind makes it happen in reality. It is like a singer visualizing his song in the subconscious mind before singing in reality. This is called visualization technique. In this technique, you have to believe firmly what you are thinking. It will work wonders. Contrarily, you can pass time lamenting that I cannot do this or that; your subconscious mind will make you a loser eventually. It does not understand the positive or negative thinking. You reap what you have sown.

Auto-suggestion or affirmation is a powerful technique to coach your subconscious mind. Whenever you are going to do something new, you always feel that I cannot do this. People will laugh at me. At that moment, auto-suggestion can be handy. You have to repeat in your mind “I can do this. I have prepared a lot for this”.  It boosts your confidence. We use it a lot knowingly or unknowingly. Many a time, I used it when I was taking the first class in RIST & GIMT and presenting my papers in conferences.

Dr Murphy mentions that the subconscious mind works as per your beliefs, emotions and thoughts. Some people want to be successful, but they do not believe it wholeheartedly. They remain in the same position. The author says “Think good and the goodwill follows”. Therefore, we need to change our mindset.

Our inner will power plays an important role to coach our subconscious mind. If you are struggling with your studies then you are carrying a mindset that suggests you are poor in studies. You have started believing that which needs to be changed at once. You are the reflection of what you think. On the other hand, the ones with ideas and enthusiasm to study will get everything and can clear any exam. Your will power is always there, but you have to reignite it by scrapping your previous mindset.

Dr Murphy mentions that the best autosuggestion is what your mind accepts. Our mind is a reasoning mind. It will not start believing anything [in your context in anything] by just thinking it. Your mind has to accept it. So, instead of you are thinking you are successful; you start by thinking that you are improving every day. He mentions some techniques to coach the subconscious mind. First of all, we need to write down what we need in life (the idea of life).

Then, we have to visualize them each day for at least two minutes a day. We have to believe that we are improving each day. Then things will follow in the right direction. Your path to success starts with your thinking. When you start believing something, you take actions in tandem with your thought which takes for you to the destination.

Future of B.Tech students post COVID era

COVID pandemic shows no sign of slowing down. There is very little chance of having a vaccine by the end of the year in India. Probably, we may not have a vaccine at all. This pandemic has made the lives of millions miserable. We are stuck at home. Offices and factories are closed down. The market is slowing down. The economy is in shambles. It will take time to revive the economy. My intuition says it will take at least two years.

Students’ lives have also become miserable. The worst hits are the final year students in every engineering course. The placements have been low due to slowing Indian economy this year. Then, the COVID has struck down every hope. But, everything is not lost. There is an option of higher studies open. Looking at the pandemic situation, it is better to prepare for higher studies at home with study materials. You can go for M.Tech, MS, or MBA.  In my college days, we collected “Made it Easy” correspondence courses. People go to New Delhi for coaching also. Now a day, I do not know whether that study material is up to the mark or not. You need to consult with your seniors or those who have completed such courses. There are online courses also. You have to be very motivated to do such a course. I have seen that people are really pumped up at first and then lose patience. You have to stick to it to the end. At last, I would say “Self-help is the best help”/ “God helps those help themselves”. For interesting insights into B.Tech life, you can buy the eBook.
