Automatic Thinking

Did you know our brain automatically saves information. It does this so that we don’t have to relearn everything we do every time we do it! Imagine having to learn to drive every time you get in your car! Imagine having to learn to read every time you pick up a book or newspaper! Imagine having to learn to eat, speak, walk, and to send a text, to write or play football each time you do it! We would never get anything done.

Once we learn something by repetition and trial and error our brain stores all that information so we don’t have to keep relearning it all over again! Rather like computer programmers writing new software who have keep testing it until it does what they want it to do, our brain will keep relearning until we get it right.

The average person processes over 60,000 separate thoughts per day of which about 90% are automatic. So think about what you do on a daily basis and ask yourself how much of that you ever have to think about. Getting up, showering, getting dressed, driving to work, using a computer, eating lunch etc. Once we’ve learned something we do it by rote.

These seemingly ‘thoughtless’ patterns and behaviours are commonly referred to as ‘automatic or mechanical thinking’. Automatic thinking is programmed into our subconscious mind and continues to 'run the show' without the involvement of our conscious mind. Research by leading universities in the field of cognitive and behavioral science proves the existence of ‘automatic thoughts’, i.e. thoughts that come to mind involuntarily and effortlessly as an automatic response.

The problem with this ‘automatic or mechanical thinking’ is that because we start learning things from the moment we are born, long before our ‘Conscious Mind’ has matured, a great deal of the information our brain has stored in our early life was  irrational, incorrect or faulty because we had no ability to reason or apply logic to it. This ‘misinformation’ was stored in our brain exactly as if it were true, which in a lot of cases it was not.  And it is this negative thinking that creates the negative beliefs that ultimately determine whether we will fail or succeed in life.

It is important to understand that our beliefs create our reality and our reality validates our beliefs. Our beliefs also create our perception, opinions, values and judgments and become our habits and patterns performed automatically without thought about how they affect us, how we see ourselves, others, and life itself. Getting rid of our negative beliefs frees us from mechanical thinking, so we become more emotionally intelligent.  Our thinking clears, our problem solving ability increases and we ‘feel’ smarter and more able to learn new things.

No more negative mechanical thinking, no more doing things purely by rote, no more compulsive behaviour or denying yourself the opportunity of that college or university degree.
