When it comes to pursuing your goals, let your unconscious be your guide

A new study says when it comes to goal setting, your unconscious mind can be a great motivator. Researchers say that unconscious feelings about objects in the environment influence the pursuit of long-term goals. Their study explores how the unconscious mind responds to objects in relation to an individual's goals -- and how the unconscious continues to influence feelings about these objects once the goals are reached -- whether or not the outcome has been successful.
