FlashCast: Making the Unconscious Conscious

“If you start to make that unconscious conscious, it becomes easier for you to captivate that awareness in your life and make decisions that do align with what matters to you,” explains host Dr. Lara Salyer. In today’s special FlashCast episode, Dr. Lara shares what it means to make the unconscious conscious through taking a look at the book The Science of Stuck by Britt Frank. 

 

In The Science of Stuck, Britt explores in depth the meaning behind Carl Jung’s famous quote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate”. If you take the time to really unpack that quote, it is pointing out the importance of awareness and self development for catalyzing your own destiny. If you never really get to know yourself on a deeper level, you will not be able to align your life with your values. When you feel yourself leaning into procrastination, gossip, resentment, guilt, or envy, take a moment to analyze what is causing those feelings. For example, if you are craving gossip, that could be due to having an underlying desire for human connection.

 

When you make the unconscious conscious, you can then better align your life with what matters to you the most. Your subconscious mind is giving you signals all the time and when you learn how to recognize them, you will gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
