The True Power of Belief: Why Mindset Matters More Than You Think It Does
There is no matter without the mind.
How do you feel right now in this moment? What about the last six months? Have you been feeling happy? Positive? Now look at the material experiences around you. Are you having a lot of positive interactions with others? What about opportunities? Is there any forward momentum carrying you where you want to be?
These questions help us to draw a line between our emotional experiences and our lived-in experiences. It’s an important link to study for those who are striving for an improved life.
Why? Because there is a direct link between the way we think and the lives we lead. Reality is shaped by our thoughts and the behaviors and reactions they inspire.
We are what we think.
If you were raised in the days before mainstream mindfulness, then it can be difficult to accept that your mind is a direct extension of your reality. For a long time, our minds (and our mental well-being) haven’t been a part of the equation. We act and react in kind to the things we experience in our immediate environment. For most, it’s assumed that the mindset is a result of experiences alone.
