Mind Over Matter Defined
January 3rd, 2010
It’s difficult for some people to believe that they can change their circumstances to whatever they want. If you’re like most people, you would believe that your current lot in life is the one you are stuck with. What exactly is meant by ‘mind over matter‘?
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 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.
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.
Your subconscious mind has already been programmed to make you feel dread toward your job. Because of that negative belief, your life is highly impacted in all areas because your job is a huge part of your life.
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.
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.
The reason why is because although they may not realize it, they have come to believe those terrible things about themselves, not consciously, but subconsciously. All of these negative beliefs eventually lead to a life full of pain, sorrow, and disbelief.
If only more people knew that their destiny lies in their hands (and minds of course), there would be less sadness and failure.
The mind can do amazing things. Scientists believe that humans use only 10% of their brain power. The remaining 90% is sitting latent in your skull, waiting for an opportunity to exert the power to create a life of abundance and joy.
It really is possible to live a life of joy and abundance once you have mastered the principles of mind over matter.
