The Power Of Your Mind

It is amazing to think of how much power your mind holds. Most of us believe that our mind only carries the knowledge that we put into it. But in reality, your mind is capable of a whole lot more. Sometimes we think we see things that are not really there. Other times we let our mind race through an analysis that grows and grows and festers and feeds and invades and spills into all our other thoughts, and before you know it, you're convinced that this crazy assumption is nothing but the truth. No need for facts or investigation or doubt. Your mind has made you believe that it is true and you must trust only the bazaar conclusion that you have come to, with no evidence or proof.

We need to be aware of this power because not only is it dangerous to surrender your mind to suggestions, but also because if we knew how, we could use this information to better ourselves and our minds. Don't accept everything as the truth. Be aware of ideologies and manipulation and biases. Even the newsreader is not a completely objective information giver. Be a more active critic for yourself and your morals, values, beliefs. You need to decide what is real, what is wrong, what you choose to let manifest inside your head until it has twisted into something of the complete opposite.

For women, this is especially true because the combination of the mind and paranoia can be fatal when it comes to relationships. We tend to work ourselves up into believing that every action and every word is a sign for something else, something bigger or worse. We over analyse (even if it is just a trip to the store) because our minds tell us he is going to meet someone better at that store. He is going to secretly meet up with someone there. Or the cashier will be too attractive and then we may lose him forever. When I say it out loud now, it's rather shameful but the truth is I know you all think it at one point or another. And it sounds silly to admit that our minds work like that.

But that is precisely the point. We need to learn that the power of our minds is in our hands and it's time to start acknowledging that and using that knowledge to better ourselves. Self discipline your brain to follow a healthier path.

And the next time your partner goes to the store, remember...
It's just milk.
