Determinism is cringe. You can unconsciously be a loser, but conscious decisions and habits are what makes a winner.

But isn't it better to train and understand your unconscious mind? This way it will choose right decisions and guide you.

Feels like it for me!

I appreciate you and your post :) guess Reddit isn’t high level enough for it.

I completely agree with the image but the presentation is garbage.

OP is loosely trying to say we shouldn't let out subconscious control us. We can consciously make better decisions and make ourselves better.

Some psychoanalysis I see

LOL 😅

"...if you can forgive your parents for the crime of bringing you into the world..."

Oof, felt that.

I wanna know what i've been hiding in my SHADOW

What was this cartoon ? 40 years ago

Someone who hasn't taken Psychology 101 made this meme.

Wat

Reddit is full of cynical people who don’t believe their problems can be fixed so I’m not too surprised. They’re like vultures to bad motivational posts.

Thank you

Haha women bad

exemplified in a shopping trip for yoghurt:

thank you!

And you set that subconscious by your daily actions and choices.

With the passage of time life can turn the simplest things into a miracle—like a walk in the park, a good nights sleep, or watching a movie.

Yeah the meme kinda sucks but the people making fun of the concept in the comments is odd.

Think of it like "instinct" vs "thoughtful action"

The very first thing you decide is often an unconscious reaction. Someone jumps at you to scare you and you throw your arms up for example, then you settle down and realize it was just your friend. That's the unconscious making a decision and then your conscious mind taking over. To make conscious decisions you have to evaluate, to make unconscious decisions you just have to react to the immediate stimuli and requires no thinking or evaluation so it comes first and must be corrected.

Continuing the example, if your conscious mind never took back over you would either run or fight your friend but you don't because your conscious mind takes back over as soon as it has made all the evaluations.

Ordering a pizza then regretting it as soon as you think for 5 seconds, mindlessly eating a bag of Oreos, all of these are unconscious actions people take every day (or at least I did and still do to a lesser extent). We can train our unconscious to an extent though, the reason it orders the pizza or keeps eating the Oreos is because that's what we have previously trained it to do. The reason monks can meditate through any sort of scare/pain is they have trained it to not react (though that's an extreme example of course)

imo its more like my concious mind's role is to shape/train my unconcious as well as my environment to produce the desired results for my self/life.

As in, my typical behaviour is a running engine that I need to tune, upgrade and direct, and I also need to set up my surroundings to optimize. I don't control it, but rather guide it and provide course correction.
