The conscious mind is surprisingly slow, conscious choices and actions
are delayed for a significant time (a reflex acts within some tens of milliseconds, an unconscious reaction to external stimuli circa 100 milliseconds and
a conscious choice several seconds). The duty of the conscious mind is usually
 to inhibit rather than start action, and if you become too conscious of what
 you are doing in a tense situation you will hesitate or slow down.
 <P>
It is a good idea to learn to rely on your non-conscious mind, since our
conscious mind is slow and has very low bandwidth while the other systems
in our brains have a tremendous capacity and actually do most of the real
work anyway.
