It's weird normally most people's conscious is in charge and the subconscious runs in the background
but for me it seem like the subconscious is in charge and the conscious is struggling to make choice in the back

The subconscious is our inner guide it knows things that the conscious does not. Jung instructed that we must make the unconscious, conscious.

@curiosi my subconscious is very powerful I believe but with great power comes great responsibility. That being said my conscious is afraid or does not know how to deal with responsibility. Hence self sabotage comes into my life. Lately I went from greatly focused, energized, and motivated to insecure and miserable. It all happened within a span of 24-48 hours, all because my conscious is afraid of happiness and content.

@curiosi prolonged happiness and content means good but it also uncharted territory as I'm used to struggling most my life.

@revenant sometimes we have to use our gut feelings and sometimes we have to think about things but at the end of the day we all just want to feel at least as much peace as we can until we die. I said at least because that it the desirable most realistic base. Prolonged Peace and content is realistic, but happiness is alot more hard to get. Content is the cake but happiness is the cherry on top, since it is more fleeting.

@SW-User yeah I absolutely believe in gut feelings. They are like the compass of your life. I think happiness comes easily to some people and difficult for others regardless of circumstances. It is hard work for sure. Happiness is equal to peace and contentment to me so it is difficult for me to see the difference. People differ.
