Welcome back to the podcast. My name is Joseph Clough and I hope you are wonderful today.

Now, in this episode, I want to go into the subject of alignment, or we could say a misalignment.

I really believe that most people who have goals and dreams, and the reason as to why they may not

achieve those goals and dreams is because they're not in alignment with them consciously,

but also unconsciously.

If I were to guess, I'd probably say that, say, 10% is what we're consciously doing and 90% beneath the surface

is the unconscious mind getting what we want or getting what we don't want. And that is where

a lot of the miscommunication or the misalignment begins to appear because we could be consciously

saying, look, do you know what?

I want a great relationship. I want more money. I want to feel confidence. I want to be free of

anxiety. But if that is just 10%, what's going to win the war, right? Of the goal. If 90% is saying

no, or if 90% is in conflict unconsciously, then of course, the 10% is going to win the goal. If 90% is saying no or if 90% is in conflict unconsciously, then of course the 10%'s

not going to really dent anything when it comes to achieving your goal. So on the one hand,

we know that yes, we have to be consciously aligned with where we're heading. I always say

the conscious mind is the goal setter and the unconscious mind is the goal getter.

So if you have that 10% of direct influence as to where you are, you're more likely to influence

the other 90% of your unconscious mind. These are kind of made up figures in my mind,

but you kind of get the gist of it, whatever that percentage is. The unconscious mind, the thing

which runs your belief systems, the thing which runs your values, the thing which runs your habits

and your behaviors, the healing, the fight and flight response,

all of those things, even how we see and hold the past, is going to be unconscious.

So you could be consciously decisive in saying, this is what I want.
