Mind Over Matter - A Strange Myth?

By Jackie Traveller

A lot of people have a hard time believing that they can change their circumstances. If you are like most people, you believe that what you have is what you are stuck with. Understanding the concept of mind over matter will change all that.

The truth is everything you have and all the things you would rather have are all mind over matter. Everyone on the planet has the capacity to master the principle of mind over matter, but you need to understand how to use your mind power to do it.

One of the ways you can develop using mind over matter is to practice turning all of your negative thoughts and beliefs into something positive. Take time to sit and think about what it means to control your life with your mind. Consider how everything in your life appears when you are happy. Think about a very content and peaceful time in your life. The bad things in life don't seem as bad when a person is satisfied with the way things are going.

Another very simple way to begin using mind over matter is to start using affirmations. When you go to work and think silently to yourself, "I hate my job, my co-workers, and my boss", all you are doing is setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you could master the mind over matter powers that could bring you more of the good things and less of the negative things, would you be interested?

Take some time to listen to what you say to yourself in the privacy of your own thoughts. If you're thinking 'I hate my job, I can't afford nice things, I'll never lose weight', then these negative thoughts will influence your actions. You will unconsciously make choices that will make these thoughts a reality in your life.

When your sub-conscious is aware of the positive reality you want, your choices will be influenced by more positive actions, which lead naturally to more positive outcomes.

Affirmations are an excellent way to begin the re-programming process. Take a moment to think about your current situation. What thought processes led you to make the choices you did? Did you accidentally sign the papers for so much debt? Did you get into your relationship by accident? Did you accept your current job by accident? Each of these choices was a result of your mind being programmed to believe that was what you needed at that time in your life.

Now think about what you want your future to look like. Mind over matter is about teaching your mind to create, look for and accept more positive results than the ones you've been accepting in the past.

If you want a more successful job then spend time to repeat affirmations to yourself daily. Tell yourself you deserve a higher paying, happier job. If you want a happier relationship, tell yourself often that you deserve a happier relationship. No matter what you want your life to look like, you can change the outcomes by programming your sub-conscious mind to look for the results you want.

The mind can do amazing things. You have most likely heard in various places that humans only use ten percent of their brain power - and guess what? That is a documented fact! Here we are with the remaining 90%, just allowing it to go to waste as time passes us by, when we could all be using it to empower our lives and ourselves!

It really is possible to live a life of joy and abundance once you have mastered the principles of mind over matter. - 29943
