The idea of the subconscious is that there’s a part of our brain that we don’t pay attention to consciously, that’s always working and helping us behind the scenes. You’re not actively remembering to blink all the time or to breathe, your subconscious handles that.

If someone says let your subconscious mind run your life, they are saying that you should try to trust your instincts, the parts of your brain that make decisions on their own, and not think too much about your future. It’s a philosophy based on trusting your first thoughts on a situation rather than analyzing things deeply.
