Simple Lessons from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind (Part 1/10)

In this series, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind By Dr Joseph Murphy Lessons, I am sharing my personal understanding and key takeaways from the book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. As an Introvert & Women’s Coach, I believe many of these lessons can help women build self-belief, improve their mindset, and develop a more positive relationship with themselves.

Your Mind Is Always Listening

Have you ever noticed how you talk to yourself?

Most of us pay attention to what others say about us. But we rarely notice what we say to ourselves every day.

As an Introvert and Women’s Coach, I often meet women who are talented, hardworking, and caring. Yet many of them struggle with self-confidence.

The reason is not always a lack of skills.

Sometimes, the real problem is the conversation happening inside their minds.

The Story We Keep Repeating

Many women silently tell themselves things like:

• I am not good enough.
• I am not confident.
• I can’t do what others can do.
• I always make mistakes.
• Nobody understands me.

At first, these may seem like simple thoughts.

But when we repeat them again and again, they slowly become beliefs.

And once a belief is formed, it starts influencing our actions.

What the Book Teaches

One of the first lessons from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind is that your subconscious mind accepts what you repeatedly tell it.

Think of your mind as fertile soil.

Whatever seeds you plant will grow.

If you plant seeds of fear, doubt, and negativity, those things will grow.

If you plant seeds of confidence, hope, and self-belief, those will grow too.

Your subconscious mind does not argue with you.

It simply accepts what you repeatedly believe.

Why This Matters for Women

Many women spend years taking care of everyone else.

They support their families, children, friends, and colleagues.

But they forget to support themselves.

They are kind to everyone except themselves.

Imagine speaking to a friend the way you sometimes speak to yourself.

Would you tell her she is a failure?

Would you tell her she is not good enough?

Probably not.

Then why say those things to yourself?

A Small Change Can Make a Big Difference

You don’t have to become positive overnight.

Start with small changes.

Instead of saying:

❌ I can’t do this.

Try saying:

✔ I am learning..and slowly i can do

Instead of saying:

❌ I am not confident.

Try saying:

✔ I am becoming more confident every day.

Instead of saying:

❌ I always fail.

Try saying:

✔ Every experience helps me grow.

These small changes may look simple, but they can create powerful shifts over time.

A Simple Exercise for Today

Take a notebook and write down three negative thoughts you often repeat.

Then rewrite them in a kinder and more supportive way.

For example:

• I am not good enough → I am growing and improving.
• I am weak → I am stronger than I think.
• I can’t do it → I will learn how to do it.

Read these new statements every day.

Final Thought

Your mind is always listening.

The words you repeat today become the beliefs you carry tomorrow.

So choose your words carefully.

Speak to yourself with the same kindness, patience, and encouragement that you give to others.

Because the relationship you have with yourself shapes every other part of your life.

Your mind believes what it hears most often.

Make sure you are giving it something empowering to believe.
