Take Charge Of Your Mind - Plus sample affirmations
-- by Jeff Staniforth
=========================================================
Our thoughts control our emotions as well as our physical health. If you don't take charge of your mind and tell it what to think and how to react, then life is going to control it for you. Take my word, nothing good ever comes of that!
Here are some affirmations to help you take charge of your mind:
- I am calm and relaxed.
- I am able to direct my thoughts toward love, joy and happiness.
- My mind is calm and I feel at peace in myself.
- I now choose to think only loving and harmonious thoughts.
- My thoughts create my life, therefore I choose only kind, loving thoughts.
- Today I choose to experience more joy in my life.
- I smile often during the day.
- I deserve to be happy, I accept this now.
- My thoughts are positive, my life is positive and I experience more happiness in my life.
Your are what you think
We've all heard the saying "You are what you eat", and to a certain extend that's probably true. But the notion that we are what we think is entirely true and there's no probably about it.
Last week you discovered how breathing impacted thoughts and moods. Today we are going to see how thoughts impact our moods and our general health.
There are few things in this world that are inherently bad. Most things simply are. It's our experience in interacting with things that makes them good or bad.
Take fire for example. Picture a campfire with you and your loved ones sitting around it singing songs and roasting marshmallows. That's a good picture of a good fire. Now, everyone goes to sleep and an ember from that unattended fire sets a nearby tree ablaze. That tree sets another which sets another and now you've got a bad fire.
If it were you who were responsible for putting out that campfire, and you failed to do it, then you would probably be feeling guilt and anxiety. Both of those thoughts usually trigger stress and depression. It wasn't the fire that triggered the stress or depression; it was your reaction to the guilt and anxiety thoughts that triggered it.
You may already know that stress can be a killer, but did you know that there is such a thing as pleasant and unpleasant stress? It's true. According to Dr. Hans Selye, a noted Viennannese physician who dedicated his career to studying the effect of stress on humans, the body produces nearly the exact same response when it experiences exciting or pleasurable stimuli as it does when it experiences anything unpleasant.
If that's true, then how can stress be a killer? Certainly there aren't an extremely large number of people who are dying from the stress of visiting an amusement park, or taking a nice drive in the country. What is it then about unpleasant experiences that can turn the stress reaction against us?
Negative stress actually starts in your mind with your thoughts. Events in your life do not cause stress. Like the fire example, it is the way that you think about these events that affect you. Scientists and researchers have proven that negative thoughts breed negative emotions and negative physical reactions including causing your body to release chemicals like adrenaline and noradrenaline as well as causing irregular breathing (we know what that does to you from last week) and increasing your heart rate.
Stress can also cause diarrhea, headaches, muscle pains, stiff necks, vomiting and other reactions. So, if negative thoughts produce negative physical and mental reactions, it would stand to reason that positive thoughts would produce positive physical and mental reactions, right? Well, they do. And that's what we want to cover with you today.
Imagine that there are two people who experience the exact same situation. They both had plans to go fishing but rain dampens the day and the trip is called off.
The first person is angry that his fishing trip was cancelled. He frowns and scowls and gets himself all worked up and disappointed. He gets a stiff neck and maybe a headache. He ends up in a fight with his spouse because he offends her by something he says while he is in his fowl mood.
The second one sees the cancelled trip as a wonderful opportunity to take his family to dinner and a movie and he and his loved ones look forward to day.
Was that rain good or bad? Like the campfire, it was neither. It simply was. It's the reaction to the rain that is either going to be good or bad depending upon whether you were person #1 or person #2.
When I was a teenager I was so troubled by how someone had treated me that I stopped being his friend. "Troubled" is too mild a word. I was angry. I carried that anger with me every day. If I happened to see that person then the anger got stronger for a day or two and it put me in a foul mood. I had headaches from the anger sometimes.
Over a year after the incident had occurred I was relaying my anger about it to someone. This person could not believe that I had carried those emotions with me for so long. He asked me if I thought that the other person was walking around as angry over this as I was. I rather doubted it since he didn't think he did anything wrong.
Then, rather than giving me a lecture about the foolishness of being angry, he gave me a valuable tool instead. He gave me a tip about the benefits of weighing my emotions. Yes, weighing them just like they were on a scale. Today I'm going to share that tip with you:
Assign a weight to each negative emotion or thought that you have in your mind. Let's say that anger, hate and fear each weigh 25 pounds. Now, whenever you experience one of those emotions, you have to toss the emotion into a bag that you carry over your shoulder. You can't lay that bag down while there are any negative emotions in it.
As you fill your bag of negative emotions it gets heavier and heavier until you reach a point that it pulls you down to the ground and you are unable to move under the weight of all those negative emotions.
And THAT is what stress and negative thoughts do to you, so just let them go.
You know, it's a lot easier to talk about letting negative emotions go then it is actually doing it. That's because negative emotions are so easy to create while positive ones take a little more effort. Well, the affirmations at the top of this article are positive thoughts and they can actually crowd the negative ones out of your mind if you see and hear them enough throughout the day.
If you are like most of us then you are so busy each day that you barely have time to repeat your name out loud much less your affirmations. That is why I created a software program called SubliminalEzy (www.subliminalezy.com). It's a Windows-based program that uses the principle of subliminal messaging to flash your affirmations on your PC screen while you're busy working or surfing the 'net.
SubliminalEzy (www.subliminalezy.com) uses subliminal messaging to send positive thoughts straight to your subconscious where they take root and crowd out the negative thoughts. The program comes with hundreds of pre-loaded affirmations for health, lifestyle, wealth, happiness, exercise, and other goals, plus you can easily create your own. Or you can use the ones I provided at the top of this article.
If you use SubliminalEzy (www.subliminalezy.com) as part of your program to regain control over your thoughts, you should actually find yourself feeling better and suffering less stress as the affirmations take root and do their work. Take a look at this program by visiting (www.subliminalezy.com). Using SubliminalEzy will help you keep that sack of negative emotions from weighing you down.
Today I want to share an inspiring anecdote that someone relayed to me years ago instead.
Today was a bad day at work. If anything could go wrong then it did go wrong. What made it worse was that my boss had invited me to his home for dinner and since we had both worked on the same project together, his day hadn't gone any better than mine had. As we drove to his house we discussed how stressful the day had been and how disappointed and angry we both were over the day had turned out. We talked about a plan to salvage the project in the morning.
We pulled into his driveway and got out of the car. As we passed the garden hose he stopped, turned on the hose, and rinsed his hands. "Hands sticky?" I asked. "No", he said, "I'm washing away my day's troubles. No matter what happens in my day, there's no sense bringing inside that door with me. The people inside love me and can't wait for me to come home. They don't need to share my work troubles and I don't need to bring them into my home where they will try to run my family time."
I started leaving the hose out near my driveway that very same day.

Quotes Of The Week
=========================================================
"The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach."
-- Benjamin Mays
"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
-- Melody Beattie
