Mind Over Matter will include the following topics:
A person’s subconscious mind can at times be their best friend, and at others, their greatest saboteur. Psychologists point out that the unconscious dictates daily actions, thoughts, and even involuntary bodily functions, potentially affecting overall health to a significant degree. Sometimes referred to as the ‘labyrinth of the mind’, the unconscious is a mysterious place, with many of its intricacies and activities hidden from human consciousness.
It is crucial for the individual to take control of their mind, just as they take charge of their body. Willpower and right thinking are not enough in isolation. After all, how can right thinking occur if the mind is programmed otherwise? The first step to taking control of the unconscious is to register how its pervasive influence guides actions and thoughts, causing the individual to make decisions on autopilot, without conscious thought.
Emotional intelligence is crucial in terms of managing challenging situations and looking at problems calmly to find the right solution. In terms of building emotional intelligence and self-awareness, meditations and affirmations can be incredibly helpful.
When used correctly, the unconscious mind wields great power to relieve stress and anxiety. Simple practices such as being mindful of thoughts, focusing on positivity and happiness, and keeping busy while listening to relaxing music can all go a long way towards leveraging the power of the subconscious to heal the body and mind.
