Remember how once in the recipe you draw each letter. With great difficulty: it was necessary to hold a fast pen, to pick up comfortable slope for writing, adjust all postures, gently withdraw the letters, recalling how can they connect to each other, etc. Now you do not just learn to write, but doing it unconsciously, thinking only about what to write and do not especially about how it's done. Skill is executed automatically, so that your mind is free for other operations (Moule and Diller, p. 56).
Similarly, with walking, driving and even control own mobile phone - remember how hard was with thenews in the first few days? And then all the skills are fixed at an unconscious level: the fingers as though already make their own all the necessary operations, getting on the right keys before aspirations to your eyes. That is all we really learned to do eventually is automatically performed in our unconscious. Sometimes these programs fairly quickly rebuilt following the life: changing a car with a manual transmission for the new automatic you pretty soon cease to pull the arm of the lever
And it is the criterion for gaining skill in any business: you stop to think about how doing it - just do. Unconscious. As unconsciously control your own heartbeat, the activity of internal organs, pressure, etc. But competence in the last of these processes person takes possession before birth, during prenatal development. That is another confirmation of the strange fact, discovered by Libet and Feinstein in studies of the brain in the clinic Mount Zion - the fact that our unconscious is a little-investigated in relation to the primary reason.Mind in the world performs the role of the postman, process and deliver the latest news from the outside into the unconscious, where lives, our true genius, from which depends not only everything that we can, but our own lives. This means that much more quickly can be learning anything if to operate directly to the unconscious (Feinstein and Libet, p. 14).
Unconscious skills in any area taken to acquire by long and monotonous repetition until the skill has been secured at the level of automaticity. However, thanks to decades of development of the science of psychology, modern technologies allow to find the unconscious competence is much easier and faster - it takes hours instead of months and years of training. Therefore, in today's therapy immense popularity takes modeling and acquisition of professional skills.
Directions of modern psychotherapy are to resolve problems (including health) with accompanying medical treatment of work with its own unconscious. Teaching thus a own organism with new reactions, a new adaptation to the world. It is often far from all that we need, we learn in the best possible conditions. In the case of health problems it is often touching the childhood, and even prenatal period of development. In most cases, work with the psyche helps to significantly speed up the recovery and reduce the side effects of drugs (Mindtools.com).
Thus, during unconscious competence your knowledge and skills used so often that they have become "habits." Following the appropriate steps, you will not feel the need for thinking through each subsequent step, the algorithm in action laid down in the unconscious (or subconscious). Now you can say, "I do not know about what I know." With years of experience driving the car you are driving on "autopilot". For example, imagine that you teach your child to drive. Driving a car, you will not realize a thorough analysis of your actions, because they are "absorbed into your flesh and blood."
