Survival is the top priority for every living thing; we are no exception. Misunderstanding, miscommunication, dishonesty, and neglect have become commonly accepted as natural for the conscious mind, but the subconscious, which is responsible for maintaining all body systems at levels that are necessary for survival, recognizes them as threats. Listening to your body, paying attention to your thoughts, and showing gratitude create a peaceful bridge of communication between the conscious and subconscious minds that allows for a more enjoyable life with a higher chance of survival because the reward for improved internal communication is improved external communication that opens the door to relationships that thrive on understanding, communication, honesty, and acceptance.
