Creating Illness

Have you ever heard someone say that they didn't ask to get cancer or to have a heart attack? Most of us have had the thought that we didn't need to get his cold right now. So do we really create our illnesses?

I believe that we do. We have a lot to do with getting sick. We don't necessarily go around thinking that we will get cancer or have a heart attack, but we sabotage ourselves by getting into situations that the only thing our subconscious mind knows to do is to make us sick.

I was once in a job that was extremely stressful. I took a stand for my staff and myself between upper level management and the staff. I was in a position that I would not back down and I knew there was no way that I would quit. My subconscious mind heard the underlying message that it would take something drastic to remove me from this position. What developed was an illness that forced me to resign my position. At the time I did not believe that I had created the problem, but when I look back at it now. I know my subconscious created a way for me to get out.

Minding Your Mind to Health

Have you ever noticed that people who seem to be sick most of the time also tend to be very negative people. Yesterday I mentioned how important it is to be aware of what we're saying. If you want to see how this works, just sit and tell yourself for 5 minutes how bad you feel. You may not have any particular problem, just tell yourself you feel bad. At the end of 5 minutes ask yourself how you feel. You will not feel well. You can be more precise with this and pick a particular problem, like my stomach does not feel well, I'm getting a cold or focus on an ache. Whatever you focus on will become intensified and you will experience whatever you are thinking about.

Now turn it around. Think, I feel great! Put a smile on your face and think to yourself how great you look and how good you feel. Even if you didn't feel well a minute ago, you will feel better just by thinking positive thoughts and putting a smile on your face.

Try and see how you do.

Mind Matters

I'm traveling and I realize how much our mind matters in terms of our health and well being. You can convince yourself of anything, your subconscious mind will listen and do exactly as you tell it. For example if you tell yourself that something is going to make you sick, your subconscious mind will listen and when you eat that thing, you will get sick. If you tell yourself that you can't than you can't.

It isn't just mind over matter, it's that our subconscious mind does not know good from bad or right from wrong. It only knows what you tell it. If you constantly say to yourself or others that you just can't lose weight, then no matter what you do, you will not lose weight. Your subconscious mind will make sure that what you tell it is right. That is it's job.

Why I'm bringing this up is the importance the mind plays in our health. If we continually tell ourselves that we are sick or fat or whatever the voice in your head is telling you, then you will surely manifest whatever it is you're telling yourself. So be careful what you say to yourself.
