Mind Power

Mind power is so strong that it can either heal or cause us problems.  Depending on how you will your mind, it can bring you disaster or success.   It was after my high school graduation that I put this quote, “Whatever the mind can conceive, the body can achieve”, into heart and it definitely has helped me weather the storms that followed me in my life journey. 

 

A healthy mind could help ward off stress which is the primary reason of heart attack, cancer, headache and a multitude of other health issues.  An over flow of stress hormones can lead to body fat or excessive weight gain.  Overweight will result to heart problems, diabetes, etc.

 

You need to fight anxiety to prevent health issues.   Some people don’t realize it but merely spending time in natural environments like walking in the park can ward off anxiety.  Add simple exercises to deal with stress or nervous energy.

Worst than body fat, an overflow of stress hormones can cause heart failure. Cardiomyopathy is caused by severe stress. It weakens the heart muscles, which can lead to death. Mind power can help rebalance the body. People suffering from heart problems may not even have to take prescription drugs if they are able to use their mind power to control their emotional and mental issues. 

 

Healing starts with having the right perspective or feeding the mind with positive thoughts.  You need to let your mind rule and control your thoughts and emotions. Stop negative thinking as this can do you a lot of harm. Prolonged stress and negative thinking, along with other mental negativity can also lead dementia.

 

The mind is truly powerful. Positive beliefs and attitudes can heal the body.  I suppose you are familiar with the placebo effect.  Placebo effect or placebo response is a remarkable phenomenon whereby a placebo or a “fake” treatment like use of an inactive substance (sugar, distilled water, or saline solution) can sometimes improve a patient's condition simply because the person expected it to work. Expectation plays a potent role in the placebo effect. The more a person believes they are going to benefit from a treatment, the more likely it is that they will experience a benefit. “It is all in the mind”, as some people say.

 

Being aware of the ill effects of negative thoughts will help you cure your mind.  You need to use mind power and divert your mind to activities that will bring your mind to be calm and at peace.  You can take creative art therapy, cognitive therapy, or take yoga classes. The more that you are aware of how much emotion and mind play can affect your health, the better you can begin to take the proper steps towards wellness.

 

There is no discounting the fact that to help you use mind power, you need to associate yourself with people who will be able to help you overcome negative thoughts and feed your mind with thoughts that will power up your mind. Usually, people who are connected spiritually and emotionally are healthier people. People who join support groups recover faster than those without support.

 

The mind is powerful.  Use its power to heal and not to destroy.  It is your mind; you have the choice, so choose wisely.
