The subconscious mind opposes everything the conscious mind wants

Did you know...
...that the subconscious mind is the opposite of the conscious mind? In other words, the subconscious mind opposes everything the conscious mind wants. It is like a mirror: left is reflected as right, right is reflected as left. “I’ll quit smoking” translates as, “I smoke”; “Don’t panic!” reads, “I am panicking.” Or when you say, “Tomorrow I’ll start exercising,” the subconscious mind starts fabricating all kinds of excuses right away, only to tell you first thing in the morning, “No, you won’t.” You can’t beat it, and unless your will is its will also, you’ll fail, and fail again.
