#10 back to basics

SUBLIMINAL MESSAGING

In my blog I have been talking about subliminal messages. But I haven't made a clear definition on what subliminal messaging is and how does it affect us.

Subliminal messaging can be beneficial. Most people use it for weight loss,  make a person more positive and even increase your IQ. And that the subconscious takes up more of the brain compared to the conscious. Marian Lishman said in Subliminal messaging- How does it work? that ”The conscious mind is 10% on the surface and the subconscious mind is like a more powerful sponge that can take in much more information, store it, use it”.

Our subconscious has been active since we were kids. So by that time we've been exposed to countless subliminal messages without even knowing it. And that sometimes even if we are aware with these messages. We still do what these message told/showed us. So it's really a normal thing. But that's only good if these subliminal messages are for our benefit.

All our lives we've been watching these cartoons that are packed with subliminal messages. Sex and drugs are the most common in 90's cartoons. Intentional or not these could affect a child. But when I was a child, I constantly watched cartoons that are filled with profanity and yet, I turned out okay. And not just me even my friends, siblings and other family members within the age group of 17-25 turned out okay.

It could be possible that by placing subliminal messages makes a child more open minded and more well off in life.
