Your mind is one of the most powerful assets you have. You are a genius, and you may not even know it! We are all geniuses. Take note of all the information that you have to process in order to walk, talk, reach for that cup of coffee, or read this article.
Your mind is so smart, in fact, that in this moment, it is absorbing information that you will never even be conscious of!
That is because your conscious mind can only do two or three tasks at once. Your unconscious mind, however, can process vast amounts of information at every moment. Your survival depends on your unconscious mind, not your conscious mind, because of the sheer volume of information that must be processed in order to function. An example of this is when you’re driving a car. There is so much information that comes at you when you’re behind the wheel: Is that child going to run out in front of the car? Where am I going? Is the car ahead of me accelerating? Is the traffic light about to change? All these things are being done for you automatically by the unconscious, which is the part of your mind that also dictates the majority of your behavior, choices, reactions, and experiences. That valuable piece of information alone should be enough motivation for you to want to master your mind!
If you don’t talk to your mind, if you don’t master it, it is going to master you.
You can always identify people whose mind is mastering them: they’re full of desires; they are always chasing something, on the move; and they simply can’t relax or “just be.” They are running on old and automatic programs that they learned from parents, teachers, society, and all kinds of sensory input. Maybe that’s you at times. If you learn to talk to your mind and tell it what to do, you become your own master and begin to break down negative programming.
Start by observing how and when you put yourself down. Let’s be honest, there are enough people in the world, unfortunately, who will put us down without us helping them to do it with self-criticism. Throughout your day, take a moment to breathe. It’s as simple as remembering to take a deep breath. By doing so, you are giving a command to your mind to relax. The more you relax, the more you’ll begin to observe your self-talk. When you observe yourself being self-critical, stop. Change your mind.
Our minds are actually wired to explore new things. That is great news for those of us who want to grow, expand, and embrace our own genius! Yes, we are wired to learn and integrate new information and experiences in every moment. So how do we reconnect with that aspect of ourselves that often gets forgotten? By remembering that an open mind brings you joy, and a closed mind brings you, well, very little.
