Mind Over Matter – A Strange Myth?

Many people doubt the validity of claims that you can change your own circumstances easily. In fact, most people believe that your current lot in life is the one you are stuck with. Understanding what ‘mind over matter’ is all about will change your outlook on life.

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.

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. It’s hard to think about some of the negative things around you right now as being a result of ‘mind over matter’, but it’s true.

Now think about the things in your life you are happy for. You might be proud of your achievements, pleased with your home, happy with your relationship. Each of these circumstances are also a direct result of your mind’s power. After all, you made the choices that resulted in these things being in your life.

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”.

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.

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.

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. 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!

Believing in yourself has never been easier, and neither has living a life full of abundance and joy. It’s mind over matter!
