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.

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.

Another very simple way to begin using mind over matter is to start using affirmations. When you go to work and think silently to yourself, “I hate my job, my co-workers, and my boss”, all you are doing is setting yourself up for disappointment.

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.

Take some time to listen to what you say to yourself in the privacy of your own thoughts. If you’re thinking ‘I hate my job, I can’t afford nice things, I’ll never lose weight’, then these negative thoughts will influence your actions. You will unconsciously make choices that will make these thoughts a reality in your life.

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.

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!
