It interprets and acts upon data that our conscious mind may not even be aware of.
Self-Perception
Our unconscious mind plays a critical role in how we perceive ourselves.
It can shape our self-esteem, our self-image, and our perception of our abilities.
Influence of Past Experiences
Our past experiences, stored in our unconscious mind, can influence our present behavior.
These experiences can shape our reactions, our decisions, and our attitudes.
Subconscious Motivations
Our actions are often driven by subconscious motivations.
These motivations, hidden from our conscious awareness, can guide our behavior in surprising ways.
