Mind Over Matter Defined
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.
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.
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”.
This is because your subconscious mind has already been programmed to make sure you hate your job and that you won’t be able to afford nice things or to make sure you continue to struggle to lose weight. These negative beliefs can highly impact all areas of your life.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Believing in yourself has never been easier, and neither has living a life full of abundance and joy. It’s mind over matter!
