- Using your
Mind
One way of using your mind is to understand how
negative emotions can affect the state of mind.
For example:
- Hating someone
and sending negative thoughts to them damages you rather than those you hate.
The best solution is to use the opposite emotion, by sending them love. This may
be difficult, but very effective and could help you to heal the hurt and any
related illness. Do not confuse hate with anger, we are entitled to feel angry
when we feel hurt, but that does not mean that we have to act upon our anger.
- Worry is a
negative thought and often creates a lot of illness. Why worry about a situation
if it is in the past? As for the future, why worry about that? The thing you
fear may never happen! If there is something you can do, do it. If not, put it
behind you.
- Another way is by using affirmations - to
state strongly your intention to change or remember something. For example, you
can keep repeating ‘I will get better’ and this can reinforce the intention
and strengthen the will. Never put the words ‘no’ or ‘not’ in any
affirmation. They must be entirely positive. For example: ‘I will bring my
body into balance,’ rather than ‘I will not eat chocolate’.
