Break the Illusions of Your Mind

That’s it!  You’re frustrated with your body.  It’s not healing at the rate you want it to.  You’ve had a cough or cold for 3 weeks now….andyou're sick and tire of being sick.

This had been my reality for the past couple week and I was fed up.  I even started saying to myself “how come my body can’t heal?  Why is this happening to me?  And then I get upset at my body….after a few minutes, I discovered that this line of thinking wasn’t helping.  So this is what I did….

I ask different questions to contradict what my mind was telling me.  Instead, I asked “what are recent examples of my body healing?”  Then I remembered that I pulled a muscle and it was much better, the bruise on my shin is nearly gone and the scrape on my elbow is healed.  How can I say that my body is not healing when clearly, it is?  

This allowed me to see that my mind was playing tricks on me.  My body is in fact healing!  It simply needs more time or more sleep, or help in the form of supplements, herbal remedies etc,  

The trick is to find evidence that contradicts what your mind is telling you.  

If your mind is telling you, having a bigger house, nicer car, making more money, etc will make you happy.  Ask yourself the reasons for why this may not be true.  If I had a bigger house...what I be happier?  Well, personally, it may mean more grass to cut, a bigger mortgage, more rooms to clean, etc.   That would not make me happy at all.  

If my mind said that being in any relationship would make me happy.  I would ask, how many people are unhappy in relationships.  It's got to be a good relationship for me and sometimes, that takes patience and time.  

Before you want what someone else has because you think it will bring you happiness, ask yourself if it really will.

Practice this technique of questioning your mind and let me know how it goes.
