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.

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.

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.

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.

No matter how much you disagree with that statement, just try it. Eventually, you will begin to believe it, quite like those negative thoughts that have been bombarding your mind all these years.

Affirmations are an excellent way to begin the re-programming process. Take a moment to think about your current situation. What thought processes led you to make the choices you did? Did you accidentally sign the papers for so much debt? Did you get into your relationship by accident? Did you accept your current job by accident? Each of these choices was a result of your mind being programmed to believe that was what you needed at that time in your life.

The reason why is because although they may not realize it, they have come to believe those terrible things about themselves, not consciously, but subconsciously. All of these negative beliefs eventually lead to a life full of pain, sorrow, and disbelief.

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. 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!

It really is possible to live a life of joy and abundance once you have mastered the principles of mind over matter.
