The unconscious mind is like a giant storage room in your brain. It is like a tool that stores memories, thoughts and feelings that you may not be aware of, kind of like a secret box. It doesn't work like your regular mind that is awake and thinking, but instead it stores memories, emotions and instincts that can influence your behaviour and actions without you even knowing. It's like a secret helper in your brain that sometimes helps you make decisions without you noticing.
