BATTLE OF YOUR MIND
Many of the battles we face are in the mind..You are probably wondering what I mean by that statement….
Allow me to explain. Your mind is very powerful, I’m sure that many of us have had thoughts that either were negative or positive. Have you ever been angry with someone who has wronged you, and pondered in your mind how you wanted to retaliate? The more you thought, the angier you got. By the time you calmed down, you are so worked up that your whole demeanor had changed…You feel a heaviness in your body and sadness appears.
Another example, perhaps a little easier to understand….Think to yourself , “I have a headache” even though you don’t have one…the more you ponder that, sure enough you’ll have a headache .
Here’s another;
Have you ever imagined one of your family members falling into some sort of peril..Even though you know it would not happen, you whole body reacts to that thought , I know I have and wondered where did that come from? The mind.
Of course the scenarios I posted were of a negative nature, so let’s change and bring it on the more positive angle..
Imagine this: You are expecting a marriage proposal , now your mind is working over time on how you will react, exhilaration and joy are visible in your whole demeanor, you rehearse the way you will answer, should you cry, or scream with glee etc. But when the time arrives, you react purely by emotion.
So the moral of this blog is: You are in control of your mind, not the other way around…So think only positive thoughts , even in the face of adversity, when the victory comes it will be sweet and the problem not as burdensom.
