Welcome to the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

My name is Lisa A. Romano.

I am a life coach, best-selling author, YouTube vlogger, meditation teacher, an expert in the field of codependency and narcissistic abuse.

I am a believer in the power of an organized mind.

My aim is to help people learn what it means to live above the veil of consciousness, rather

than living a reactive life.

May your heart feel blessed, your mind feel expanded, and your spirit find hope, as you

spend time with me here at the Breakdown to Breakthrough podcast.

So today we're going to be talking about the mind, which is basically the subconscious

mind, and the higher mind, which is what we should all be achieving for, striving for,

to think and to live and to be more highly conscious rather than reactive to

the nonsense that happens in the subconscious mind which is essentially a rodeo where thoughts are bullets and impulses are bullets and needs and wants are bullets

and we often don't realize how irrational our thoughts are and how compulsive our innate drives are to feel wanted, to feel respected,

and to feel loved. And so let's break it down. And so Freud helped us understand the mind as the

id, the ego, and the super ego.

And let's just understand a little bit about the id. So the id, the way I look at the id is this

aspect of our personality that is rooted in, needs, desires, wants, very impulsive, very compulsive. I want this. I need to be loved. I want to be

respected. I need to be believed. And it's all about feeling secure and feeling in control over

the ability to get one's needs met.

And so the id is that aspect of our personality, if you think about it,

when you're first born, you have survival needs.

You need to eat.
