I want to talk a bit about about attitude or mindset. First let’s clarify the difference between the brain and your mind.
The brain is an organ similar to your heart or liver, it runs your central nervous system and its job is to keep you alive and safe, it runs automatically.
Your mind is the part of you that is aware of thoughts, feelings, imagination and perception. You have the ability to control your mind. A thought will pop in but it is your choice to dwell on it or change it.
Thoughts pop in or things happen and our subconscious that runs automatically, will kick in, but we have the ability to override how we react or what we think.
Our minds control our brains, and our brains control our bodies, so it is very important to have a good attitude. One of my all time favorite quotes is from Joyce Meyer, "You can be powerful or you can be pitiful but you can not be both."
It is in our control what we focus on, what we think about, and what we think about or believe affects our daily lives. If we tell ourselves and believe that we are healthy our brains will take this belief into its daily functions and the body will react accordingly.
If we continually tell ourselves that we are sick and unhealthy our bodies will adapt to meet that thought pattern we are sending it.
Our attitude or mindset is in our control but we must choose to be proactive or it will default based on our past experiences. This is why prayer and meditation are powerful tools for creating a healthy lifestyle.
Prayer, meditation, and Aroma Freedom Technique (AFT) are just a few of the ways we can improve our mindset.
