Ways to Take Advantage of the Power Within Us-Our Mind

I shared in the last post about the Power we all have within us and that being our Mind. 

Today I want to share what I have learned in how I can tap into that power and make changes in my life.We all are living with limiting beliefs that are blocking our moving forward and making the changes in our life we desire.

The first thing is Awareness.
If we are not aware of the limiting beliefs we are living with everyday we will not make any effort to initiate any change. Becoming aware of some of your thoughts and limiting beliefs is one of the first steps. I have used mediation and visualization to uncover some of these beliefs. I have found that they were created  when I was a young child, 3-5 years old. I have been able to recall certain events and my perception of those events as that child. I recognized that my perception was not correct and when I was aware of that was able to eliminate that belief and replace it with one that was based on my adult perception. Taking this action helped me to be totally free of the limiting belief. Making this change also improved my self confidence helping me to see myself as a more valued person.

Affirmations used with emotions can also make changes in your power house - the sub-conscious mind.
In the previous posting I shared that the Sub-Conscious mind is more receptive at time of going to sleep and when first awakening. These are the times to use affirmations repeated several times. Make your affirmations with the end in mind. Stating how you desire thing to be, not how they are now. Use phases like: I am, I have and not using someday I will, etc. Make these statements in the present tense. Great time to also state or write your goals. I want to emphasis that emotions are very important, things said with emotion will give you quicker results.

Visualization. 
Sit quietly for a few minutes and visualize the things you desire. Again in the present tense. It also helps to use a vision board, posting pictures of the things you desire, referring to it frequently during the day. 

Self-talk.
What are you saying to yourself?? If you don't know just take a few days and be alert to some of the things you are saying to yourself. We are the only person in our mind and many times we say very demeaning, negative, hurtful things to ourselves. Things we would not let anyone else say to us. This will affect your self confidence and will really limit you. Practice saying nice things about yourself. You can even stand before a mirror and look yourself in the eye,telling yourself good things about yourself. Do this on a consistent basis and you will be surprised at the change in you.

Gratitude. 
I like to list 10 things I am grateful for every morning. It is surprising how when you do this consistently how that list will grow. Even if you are in a tough place right now you can find things to be grateful for. There is a Universal Law that says " To receive more you must be grateful for what you already have."

Who are you spending your time with??
Another Universal Law is the Law of Association. The type of people you associate with is the kind of person you will become. Evaluate the people you spend your time with, are they uplifting,positive, encouraging, supportive persons or negative naysayers. 

What are you reading, listening to or watching on TV??
Again all of this information is going into you sub-conscious mind. Do you really want this information to be the basis of making decisions for your life?? 

How you see yourself is reflected outwardly to others. This will affect your physical and mental health. You are in charge of your choices that will make changes in your sub-conscious mind that will change the results you are getting in whatever area you are wanting to change.SO Take Action!!
