The first situation to consider is the relationship between thoughts and
conditions like depression and stress. A crucial question is whether
the person's thoughts are creating the physical depression or the
physical depression is creating the negative thinking. When it comes to
how you can use your mind to help, this can be accomplished consciously
and subconsciously. When someone has a habit of imagining things turning
out very badly, rational thinking can show show them that they often
exaggerate. However, the unconscious mind is much more powerful in
shaping our habitual behavior, oftentimes beyond our conscious control.
Visualization and hypnosis can be very effective in modifying beliefs
and, if you do this, the long-lasting effects can be more powerful than
using logic only.
It is likewise true that positive thinking can have an impact on our
physical health, and you may be aware of the placebo effect on people
who feel ill. This is when individuals are given a pill which in reality
does not have any healing value, and yet they claim to notice an
improvement in how they feel. This is evidence of the connection between
mind and body, and there are many examples of men and women with a
positive outlook being able to recover faster from malady and injury.
You can also use the power of your mind to help you in achieving your
fitness goals. A historic example of this is when the four minute
barrier for running the mile was broken, which had been considered as
unachievable up to that point. Once the "barrier" had been broken, other
runners also began to break through what had really been a barrier of
belief.
The effects of aging are likewise influenced by how we think about the
process. As you get older, do you talk to your friends about your "aches
and pains" and your weakened capabilities? It seems there's a great
deal of truth to the saying, "You're only as old as you think you are,"
and our thoughts can be used to undo a lot of the so-called effects of
aging. Unfortunately, numerous individuals will continue to hold on to
old beliefs about the unavoidable "decline" of health in old age, and
not pay attention to the benefits of a positive outlook.
Now that you are aware that your attitude can bring you a much better
state of health, it's up to you to take advantage of this information
and set your intention to think positive thoughts whenever you remember.
