Use Mind Over Matter To Change Your Life

By Jackie Traveller

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 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.

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.

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.

You'll be living a life full of abundance and joy once you've learned to master mind over matter techniques.
