Our Mind is the Author and Creator of Our World

Our mind is a beautiful complex mechanism which provides us with necessary knowledge to proceed in life. The power which lies within the province of the mind can catapult us toward our dreams and desires making them a reality, or, keep us stranded in a pit of despair. Our mind is the author and creator of the world we see around us. rnThere are two very important aspects within our psyche and they are our subconscious beliefs and our conscious thoughts. When our beliefs disagree with our conscious thoughts and actions, we create a civil war within our mind making it difficult to achieve our goals. We remain in this state of mind creating obstacles and barriers thus making it a greater challenge to achieve what we have set out to do. Our beliefs and expectations are made up of patterns recognized by the subconscious mind. These patterns are formed through messages sent to the mind through experiences and repetition. As an example, when we first learned to walk it was difficult. Within a period of time and much practice, we gained the knowledge of walking making it easy to do so today. As we practiced, we sent a repeat message to our brain of what to do. Our brain recognized a pattern and stored the information within our mind for future use. Our brain has a natural talent for doing this. If it was not the case, we would still be learning to walk today. It is an evolutionary process and a fascinating one. Once our brain identifies a pattern it becomes a belief which in turn becomes an expectation. When we chose to walk today we expect our legs to move and we believe we can do it. Our mind develops beliefs through repeat messages on a daily basis and works for both positive and negative experiences in the same manner. When we have a goal we wish to achieve and past experiences dictated a less than desirable outcome, we fear, we worry, we lose patience and we think in our mind it is too good to be true or difficult to do. It is for this reason many people feel unfulfilled or decide to settle for less than what they truly desire. The million dollar question is, “If all we need do is believe we can be successful, what is it we have to do to believe?” The answer, we create a new reality by sending proactive repeat messages to the subconscious mind. There are many tools and exercises available to achieve this extremely powerful and rewarding outcome. It is in fact the reason I wrote the book “I Believe Therefore I am”. It is my goal going forward to help provide food for thought and techniques in which to create the amazing powerhouse which you are! I have a strong passion for understanding the province of the mind because my history is a colorful story of triumph and perseverance. Nine years ago I was diagnosed with an illness called “Fibre Type Disproportion Myopathy.” It is a very painful muscle disorder. When I was twenty-nine I had a muscle spasm (which is a direct result of this disorder) on the left side of my neck blocking the main artery reducing the blood flow to my brain. I was rushed to the hospital with “stroke-like symptoms.” I was in the hospital for a week and when I left, walked with a cane. I was unable to work because any physical exertion sent my body into a painful tailspin. I was a productive, independent successful business woman, turned crying, screaming, worthless mess. Today, I am proud to say, I am a confident successful business woman once again because I actively and successfully created a new reality altering my world and making it what I wanted it to be! You Can Too! Going forward, begin to create a proactive habit which in turn sends a powerful message to the subconscious allowing for a new belief and reality to unfold. Start today by becoming aware of your thoughts. When you wake up in the morning think or say with conviction “Today is an amazing day because I chose it to be!” When someone asks “how are you” reply with “fabulous!” If a situation occurs making it a challenge, remain consciously aware of what thoughts you are sending. Be certain they are proactive. When you catch yourself thinking negative thoughts, switch your focus by asking yourself “what is the exact opposite of this?” When you know the answer, chose to focus on it! Take control and begin to write the story of your success. I shall leave this food for thought with you now and ask one question, “are you ready to believe?”.
