Hasn't really been scientifically proven yet, I've only seen it happen to one person but hmm ~ however I think the mind is incredibly powerful. There are somethings I know I can't do just be trying. Trying isn't enough. Working hard just isn't enough. Not in our society or generation oh no. It comes down to belief. I was trying to do a specific exercise the other day, trying to hold my knees on my elbow for a minute. I had practiced for over a week, but I just kept falling over and losing balance.. I wondered why. It was strange since I put in the required hours so I should be able to do it right?
The main problem was that at the back of my mind, I didn't believe that I could do it - and that's what was causing my failure. Over the years I have personally realised that, all the thoughts I have are externally created in the physical world. All the beliefs and opinions I have about myself, forms the basic mindset in how I approach my day to day activities. I was practically forced to change my mindset otherwise I would just keep living this pitiful life, simply existing with nowhere to go or having no reason for living what so ever.
Now the answer to problems in my opinion is NOT: "Be positive" or "be confident." ~ What if someone doesn't know HOW to be positive or confident? That being said, what is necessary is a complete mental paradigm shift, one where you decide to reform all previously held beliefs into new ones. I did this as a new years resolution and the results were personally, outstanding. Once I completed all the readings, exercises and what not - I became extremely confident (
bordering teh's levels, if not beyond.) ~ now I just feel so powerful and have the idea and fact settled in my mind that there is nothing in this world I can't achieve and that I have nothing to be insecure about.
Damn, I've rambled and lost the main point of this post, sorry.
