It 'true what they say, practice makes perfect in reality. Here's why …

When we begin to learn, we enter new information into our brains through the conscious mind. We must be aware of new information to understand and try to make sense of it.

But to be really good at something, you need to bypass the conscious mind and able to successfully perform the action, without really thinking about it. The introduction of mind!

Consider the sequencethe approach to a roundabout at speed, without consciousness would be a very difficult task. You should think consciously of pressure on the brake pedal with his right foot, the clutch with your left foot to shift gears with the left hand of government, while his right, turning his head to look right of the right side of the road do with your eyes and listen to the radio in the background and talking to the person in the passenger seat, constantly, constantlyspiritual and maintaining a heartbeat, all within seconds. If you were to consciously think of all these things while I'm sure that will end in an accident. But we make it relatively easy?

This mechanism is wonderful, the mind can multi-task and not a better judge of when conscious thought is involved. When a player to score a wonder goal during a game in the post-match interview, the interviewer: "Well, what did you think when you see thatBall? And the reaction of calcium "I really do not know, I just hit soft and landed on the back of the net!" The best results are obtained when the little conscious effort and instinct take over. And 'this automatic feature, which allows us to reach a capacity of experts. So how do we become much on something that we are poor in close, but it would be better? This transformation is divided into four phases ….

1. Unconscious incompetence – this is the moment we are stillignorant about what is not good.

2. Conscious incompetence – At present we are aware of what would be good, but still we know nothing good in them yet. Compared to others, we feel like we are bad in this particular activity.

3. Conscious competence – We now have a level where we are good at this skill has been achieved, but even to think consciously about the case of actions to perform to a high standard. As a lapse or other consciouswords, loss of concentration can still be wrong.

4. Unconscious competence – you're there! It's so easy and natural. Coordination is smooth and controlled, and happen all at minimal involvement of consciousness. Congratulations, you have a new talent.

So if the four stages, as can increase from one level to another? Simple, practical! You could expect a couple of spectacular response, but is the only answer is there. It is both encouraging anddepressing at the same time. Disappointing because it means that the time and effort will be necessary, will be enhanced comfort zones are absent, it is encouraging, because people who are willing to pay the price, and ensuring the success in the end. You see, the subconscious is a creature of habit. The liver of repetition. Your conscious mind acts as a porter, who often come to mind through conscious awareness will be embraced. Both good and bad habitsin this way. Your task is to see that your knowledge of conscious thought is constructive, I am the only guy who wants to access the rich in mind can be, and turn in your external world and circumstances reflected. If you want to become proficient in something that is all you need to do is learn to do the right thing, and then repeat again and again.
