May the Force Be With You ;p

Placebo effect. A study by Harvard (amongst others) talks about how the placebo effect can be more effective than traditional medicine. A reminder HOW POWERFUL your mind is brain. You can do anything, it’s all dependent on you fit your mind is strong.

Today I’m reflecting back on the concept of the placebo effect. A study by Harvard (amongst others) talks about how the placebo effect can be more effective than traditional medicine. If you don’t know what talking about, it's basically faith based healing. It’s the concept that if you believe something will cure you (even if it’s a tablet full of water, but you're told and you believe that it’s the cure to your illness) then it will in fact cure you! How crazy is it that research proves that this is true. Therefore, as I have always believed, you can literally cure yourself, proving the power of the mind is stronger even than medicine…

This is a reminder HOW POWERFUL your mind is brain. You can do anything, it’s all dependent on you fit your mind is strong. Why do you think affirmation is so “popular” and practised amongst successful people? Visualization - same thing. It’s our mind, what we think we will achieve, law of attraction, and it goes on and on and on… But it all comes back to the power of thought and visualization. There is so many stories from people who had nothing, and decided they wanted something, and set all of their thoughts to that goal, and manifested it.

I remember the first time I ever experienced a taste of this that was obvious enough that I actually stopped to take it in. I went into a meditation, and it was a guided manifestation meditation (I remember the exact one - I still have it so hit me up if you want to try it). When the instructions asked me to channel and feel the goal I wanted, and feel it happening, I imaged a fully packed schedule for my newest career path as a new yoga instructor. I remember feeling a shift coming out of the meditation, I felt reconnected and confident. When I checked my email a few minutes after this, I had heard back from a new studio in Yorkville at the time, who had decided to give me triple the classes I had been teaching, and great feedback. I was able to contribute my expenses and continue on the entrepreneur journey! How crazy is that?! Minutes later, when there was literally no sign prior to that of this happening for me?

To help you clear your mind and engineer your own happiness, try these things below. They may seem basic, but just give it a TRY!

Write it out - what is is that you want? The first thing is determining that and being SO clear on that. Journal it, do a vision board, mind map, etc!

Make your goals visible - try using your mirrors at home adding post-it’s to things you want to reflect your goals back at you.

Channel the feeling of how it would feel to already have your goals fulfilled.

MOVE your body! How you carry yourself, even the tone of your voice, your facial expressions, all of theses things immediately impact your state of being. Change them, you change your reality, instantly.
