Our subconscious uses the behavioral patterns we have learned to automatically respond and react to many everyday events in our lives.

This is essential for our survival, we have to be able to respond quickly to events around us, which would be impossible if we had to re-examine every aspect of things every time something simple happens.

Our learned responses and thought patterns allow us to automatically respond to circumstances quickly and easily. However, problems arise if at an early stage some of the basic beliefs upon which many of the others are built were formed from a biased perspective, perhaps the strategy was appropriate for a perceived difficult circumstance, yet often such beliefs are totally inappropriate for success in the real world as adults.
