The Healing Power of our Mind

I see myself as quite a pragmatic person, so I am always looking at how things make practical sense rather than simply believing something that is unexplainable, or a little ‘woo-woo’.  We already know our bodies have many self-healing properties, however, I believe we underestimate the capacity for healing and that this concept can be taken much further.

However, for many of us, change is intimidating because we don’t know what lies ahead. It challenges us to step out of our comfort zone and into a new stretch zone – for some that’s exhilarating but for many it creates resistance … almost like standing at the edge of a minefield.  We have to decide where to step first, and that requires knowledge, determination and courage. 

Let’s look at some of those ‘mines’ that cause us to resist change:

When you use your past to sabotage your present, or focus on the future to escape from it, you become entrapped in behaviours that don’t serve you. If you don’t leave your past where it belongs (mainly those parts of it that have hurt you) it will continue to damage and constrain how you live. If you continually worry about your future you’ll miss the things that are happening in your life right now.

“Never be a prisoner of your past. It’s a lesson, not a life sentence.”  Robin Sharma
