The How To NOT Use Your Mind Power Lesson-Thanks Mom!
It’s Mother’s Day and I wonder if you might be using your mind power like my mom did when I called her today.
I called to wish her a Happy Mother’s Day but I greeted her with, “Hi Mom, how are you?” Her reply, “I am FAT!”
Those are powerful words, and especially when you declare something after saying “I AM.”
Up to this point, she had been mentioning how happy she was that her weight had gone down a little. But today she was talking about the sweet treats she had received in the mail from my brother, and eaten. Now that the party was over, all she could see was the negative results in her mind’s eye. She was expecting the scale to go up and claiming the reality of it.
Using your mind power in a different way can change what your brain believes about your life.
Your brain’s language is images and you can pretty much make it believe anything you tell it. Your mind power is a force of energy that finds its way into physical form.
And my mom was doing what we all do at times but need to be more aware of. (By the way, I called her back to get her permission to share this. She gave it but added, “Make me look good.” I had to say, “Sorry Mom, that kind of defeats my purpose. It looks like I need your permission in writing. You’ll probably be cussing at me from heaven some day when you read everything I’ve written about you. I want you to remember that I always ask first.” I love to hear her laugh and we had a good one over that. I’ve never heard a cuss word come out of her mouth.)
Anyway, my point is that you can use your mind power in a much more productive way. It takes a little discipline but when you feed it the images you want it to see, from a peaceful state of mind, it accepts that as reality. You become proactive and spoon feed your brain instead of being reactive to the images that pop in because of what you fear will happen.
Yes, that takes a little effort, but so does sit ups. And we have to pay the piper one way or another when we over indulge.
When you use your mind power in this way, it acts like any muscle that you work out. It takes some effort at first but then becomes a walk in the park.
