Mind
Over Matter - The Facts And Fiction
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 about life in general is that everything is mind over matter.
Everyone has the capability of further developing their mind power; they
just have to know how to do it.
One of the ways you can begin to develop using mind over matter is to
practice turning your negative thoughts into positive affirmations.
Spend some time thinking about what it means to control every aspect of
your life with your thoughts. You could bring about a better job, more
money, happier relationships, a healthier body and a happier disposition
easily when you know how.
Now think about your current situation. How many times a day do you
worry about not having enough money? Do you constantly put yourself down
about not being able to lose weight? Are you in a job you hate? Every
time your mind tells yourself these negative things, you're telling your
sub-conscious that you want it to focus on these things.
If you say 'I have my job and I never have enough money', your
sub-conscious mind will begin to make sure these things come true for
you. Your actions are dictated by your thoughts and your choices are
influenced by your beliefs. So if you believe these negative thoughts,
they will very quickly become your reality.
A good example would be to use mind over matter techniques by repeating
to yourself several times a day something that you may not believe, such
as "I love my job, my co-workers, and my boss".
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.
A good way to begin putting the power of mind over matter to work for
you is to repeat to yourself several times a day 'I love my job, I'm
losing weight easily and money comes easily to me'. At first, you will
automatically disbelieve these things. You will be tempted to feel as
though they aren't true and they won't happen, but you'll be slowly
programming your mind to accept choices that will result in more
positive outcomes.
You will begin to see that everything in your life is mind over matter
once you take a step back and think about your previous choices and
decisions. Take for example a person who has been through a violent or
abusive relationship. If those people have been told repeatedly they are
fat or stupid or useless, eventually they'll believe it. Their
self-esteem will come crashing down.
This is because the sub-conscious mind becomes programmed by telling it
what you want to believe over and over again. At first a person in such
a negative relationship might think 'I'm not those things'. The thought
doesn't feel right, but over time they begin to believe it and then they
begin taking actions that reinforce that belief.
Now think about the opposite approach. If you tell yourself regularly
that you are beautiful and worthy of a great job with plenty of money,
you will at first think 'that's not true'. But deep down your
unconscious mind will be listening and the reprogramming will be
happening slowly. Before you know it, you'll believe in yourself and
your actions will lead to more positive outcomes.
It really is possible to live a life of joy and abundance once you have
mastered the principles of mind over matter.
