If you have read my blogs you have heard me say many times we are mind body beings and so true that is, but what we really are, is mind. Think about that for a moment, mind really rules our world, without mind we have no direction, no purpose, no emotion, no thought, no words, no memory. Our body would get hungry of course and we would search food and water, we would look for warmth in the cold and cool in the heat and we would eliminate waste and urine. Very similar to my father age 90 in the later stages of his Alzheimer's. He eventually lost his ability to use a utensil, to button a shirt, brush a tooth or to determine when it was time to go to the bathroom. The mind was gone but bodily functions continued unhampered with autonomic respiration, digestion, elimination, heart beating, kidneys and pancreas and immune system doing their job, but the vital purpose of the conscious mind had left him and he had no emotion, no memory, no thought no word.
Our body is the vehicle our conscious mind drives around in. Only a decade earlier he was sharp as a tack, he had purpose to his life at age 80, he was always positive and upbeat, charismatic with strong character, integrity and values. He had the ability to always make someone who spent just 10 minutes with him, feel better about themselves, he had that innate ability to uplift and to shift a person into a better state of being.
So what does this have to do with me and with you? Only that we should give greater appreciation to the fact that the mind side of who we are is really important and has significant value in how we express our life and in how we perceive our own happiness or lack there of. It all boils down to our thoughts and beliefs and attitudes and emotions. ( Read blog # 50-Are You Positive or Negative)
Thoughts beliefs attitudes and emotions drive our bus, dictate our success or failure, determine our habits, our weight, our fitness level, to a large degree our health, the quality of our relationships, where we live and what we do, the actions we take and the words we use everyday of our lives.
Do a quick examination of your life, find what you would like to change, be it a detrimental habit, a bad attitude, negative words, false and limiting beliefs, negatively charged emotions that bring you and others down, poor relationships... Find what you want to change and generate a desire to put forth some effort and attention into changing that habit of thought that has defined you.
Write down what you would like to have or be experiencing in your life-your desired state, so to speak. Commit yourself to focusing on what you want, create a picture in mind backed by strong emotion and feeling of what it is you truly want, see it, hear it, feel it and notice how good it feels.
Anytime you enter into that negative state of what you don't want or the lack or absence of what you do want, as it relates to this specific issue, simply practice error correcting yourself out of the funk of what you don't want and into the desired state of what you do want. Practice this effort for 21 days with sincerity and begin to establish a new habit, a new belief, a new attitude, a new emotional base for this new experience/reality you wish to conceive.
Desire plus Commitment is analogous to the egg and sperm uniting in that moment of magical conception, you will have given birth to a new and potentially viable idea/purpose. Now protect and cherish this new "baby" in the womb of your emotional body, giving it and yourself, positive uplifting, loving thoughts and words of encouragement and support. Believe that you can do this and that you have the potential to change and to improve all the aspects of your life you desire, to become more useful and beneficial. I know you can constructively change what ever it is you want to change in your life, if you really want to, just establish the attitude that you will persist in the endeavor with excitement and enthusiasm while in a positive state of peace and calm for your better and improved future.
Always focus on what you do want-without resistance or negative self talk, and let go all the don't wants and or the negative feelings associated with the lack of what you do want. Think about this for a moment, what makes us miserable and unhappy is our focus on what we don't want and or our focus on the lack and or absence of what we do want. Stop that, shift your focus directly into what you do want and let go of any negative chatter or self talk or negative feelings you may have attached to what you do want. You want your vision and your feelings to be pure and crystal clear with no resistance. It will be worth your effort to practice this new habit, after all it is "mind" that dictates how we navigate our lives and how much we enjoy it and how much we can be of service and of benefit to others. Change your perspective and you will change your life.
