The Power of the Mind and How it Changes You
You may not know this, but back around the early to mid-80s, we really saw an increase in powerful messages helping the subconscious mind. Most of them dealt with anti-drug slogans and commercials that were just about everywhere. However, there was one that said, ‘The mind is a terrible thing to waste.’ Well, they couldn’t have brought more right. The power of mind is the most powerful thing in the universe!
Touching on this ‘power of mind‘ idea is the ‘The Secret’. Millions have bought the book, more than that have watched the movie, and by now, the Internet is flooded with people trying to get you to believe in the Law of Attraction, which is that principle laid bare. Whatever you think about in your attitudes will manifest itself in your life, and that includes what happens when you aren’t paying attention to your attitude, too. It works whether you want it to or not.
In the medical world, this is known as the Placebo Effect; people who are told they’re taking a medicine will get the benefits of that medicine even if they’re given a sugar pill. This happens about 40% of the time and is something clinical trials have to correct for. Similarly, the adage of ‘Mind Over Matter’ holds some credence as well. This is how you’ve seen people think themselves sick, or think themselves well. Mind power is incredible!
Over a period of time those individuals are studied on how they react to the drug. You’ve probably seen this in others around your local area, but the fact is some of the people taking a placebo get cured or at least better. While this is great, there are some individuals that get wind of the side effects and end up contracting them even though they’ve only taken a placebo. Listen, it’s not a coincidence because everything happens for a reason.
Unfortunately you may have a problem with the scientific evidence, but there is plenty. Quantum mechanics explains that there isn’t matter on a subatomic level and it’s actually just energy. While this is true, there are experiments always being done that makes us realize that energy only exists because of the observer. It truly is the real power behind the mind.
Would you believe everything is made of energy? If you do then it’s much easier to understand the power behind the subconscious mind like ESP, telepathy, levitations, and several physic abilities. However, you don’t need to get this deep into it. All you need to do is take advantage of the surrounding energy and use it to change your life.
The Law of Attraction works whether you want it to or not. So focus on using it to change your life for the better. That means thinking carefully about your attitudes, planning ahead, and otherwise living a life of contemplation and consequence. We’re going to take a closer look at what that entails.
Are you ready to get started? Great, all you need is a goal. Even though you may want to jump on those big picture needs, we always recommend starting out with something small. It could be anything from getting caught up on your house work, to picking one of your smaller bills to be paid by an extra income. Whatever the case may be, you have to have something to work towards.
The sign of someone who’s goal focused is that they’re very driven. They work each and every moment towards some goal, rather than frittering their time away in unstructured pursuits. When they’re working on a goal, they’re driving towards it, rather than do it a little bit, then get distracted by something else. This puts the full power of their mind on the goal, and every little step helps further it. It’s one of those things that’s so difficult because it’s simple. People expect life changing events to be more involved than ‘Make a goal, and stick with it.’
Just think if you could influence your mind to quit smoking, lose weight, make more money, or by that dream home. They are all great things to think about right? Sure, but don’t let it stop with self-improvement. Maybe you want to take the family on that long needed vacation or just get a new set of tires for your worn out vehicle. Obviously you’re going to have to organize your life a little, but with constant affirmation it will keep you motivated throughout the entire process.
Then, the house of your dreams hits the market. It’s for sale. And because you’ve been planning and focusing on this, you qualify for the mortgage, and the owners like what you’re planning with the home. You close the deal and move in – and everything you’d been focusing on, all that energy, has helped realize your goal.
All you have to do is put your mind to it. Once you train it to change your life for the better, it will actually start happening. The only question is whether or not you’re ready to make that leap.
