Its 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 can be put down to mind over matter. We all have the capacity to master our own mind power. You just need to know how to do it.
Think about your current circumstances. You might be in a job you hate or struggling financially or worried about your relationship, or lack of it. Each of these aspects of your life are there as a result of your own choices. This means your mind created those circumstances for you. Its hard to think about some of the negative things around you right now as being a result of mind over matter, but its true.
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 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, Im 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 arent true and they wont 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.
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.
