The subconscious mind, also known as the unconscious mind, is a part of the mind that is not currently in focal awareness. It influences thoughts, emotions, and behavior, and contains stored information of past experiences. Despite its importance, it remains largely unknown to our conscious awareness
. The subconscious mind is considered to be more active, purposeful, and independent than previously thought, and it can impact our behavior and decision-making processes without our conscious awareness
. This part of the mind is responsible for automatic actions and reactions that we can become aware of if we think about them, such as driving a car without consciously thinking about the specific actions involved
