Mind Over Matter - A Strange Myth?

By Jackie Traveller

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 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.

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.

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 could master the mind over matter powers that could bring you more of the good things and less of the negative things, would you be interested?

Now imagine what power you could have by changing your own thought processes and beliefs. Imagine saying to yourself regularly 'I deserve a better job with much more money'. Say this to yourself firmly every time you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts. Your sub-conscious is listening and you will begin to reprogram it to accept these positive thoughts.

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.

You can easily see that everything is mind over matter once you take a step back and examine your previous experiences. Take for example someone who has been through a violent and abusive relationship. If they have been called names such as fat and stupid, eventually, if they remain in that relationship, their self-esteem will come soaring down.

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.
