Thought Shaping

WE ARE WHAT WE BELIEVE

True - we have genetics to thank for much of our physical appearance. But we shape our facial features through mindset, affect our health through lifestyle choice and mould our lives by the thoughts and actions we take.

Our genetics can play a major role in determining what tools we have available, but many have shown us through sport etc. how perceived disadvantages caused by birth defects or disabilities, can be overcome through mindset. Arguably, our social standing - our 'place' in society - has significantly more power to hold us on a pre-determined path, which is harder to break free from. And for the most part, it's our minds holding us back from breaking free from these chains we place on ourselves. It's mostly how we 'see' and what value we place on ourselves, then leaving the rest to society, our peers and even what our friends/family tell us, to define who & what we are.

Change may seem difficult and a new, a brighter path to success, so far away. But we can steer our path through life with our intentions. Daily reminders of our affirmations for who we are, what we have and where we are going, will help cement our intentions. So a good point to start focusing on these affirmations is at the beginning of the day. Repeating a mantra to affirm what may already be overlooked or forgotten - to feel gratitude, and be thankful for health, happiness, family, friendship, love and our good energy, will all take us along a positive path throughout our day. Repeated every day over a longer timeframe, these affirmations set a new direction and release us from a stubborn mindset. Our intentions come from these positive thoughts. And once we recognise that change is possible, the freedom we get to steer our life in another direction will help us take the tentative steps forward to realise our greatest potential.

Mindset defines us in every way. If we are shaped through our thoughts, judged on our looks and measured by our deeds, then we need to master the techniques for being in an optimal mindset. Positive and negative mindsets are portrayed in our being through body language, displayed in our clothing & outward presentation plus can be subtlety registered on a more subconscious level by those receptive to others, in the muscles of the face and through the eyes. Mindsets become our intentions and if we can choose either positive or negative mindsets, we can also choose our best intentions or bad ones.

Our intentions can be a powerful energy that's felt throughout our whole being and picked up from other people via our senses. If positive intentions can create beautiful crystal formations in water, then what can they do to the human body – which is made up of over 70% water? It surely follows, that by focusing on having consistently more positive thoughts, we'll take action for being a better person, which will make us feel better about ourselves. This process could potentially give overall health benefits, plus this projected energy could attract other like-minded people and bring about more successful outcomes.

Put It Out There
We can be so many different versions of ourselves. Project what you want and the law of attraction will bring back what we desire. Masterful, cute, approachable, avoidable. How we feel inside and how we portray ourselves through our thoughts, will be picked up by others. I have witnessed this phenomenon in myself, from the different types of interactions coming back from other people - and they've all depended on how I've been feeling at the time. These were conscious mindsets that defined a projection of them, which were either attracted or repelled. If my intention at the time was to attract, and it worked, great - especially as it was a mindful decision to achieve this goal. Sometimes, however, we can be blindly unaware of our thoughts and unconscious mindset having a conflict with our desired outcome. This fact will be obvious if we can observe it in ourselves - we merely need to be aware at the time, to correct any conflicting thoughts. Try it for yourselves - put the thoughts out there and witness how, one minute we can be invisible and the next be informed that we're the most attractive individual, with people hanging off our every word.

The power is within us all to be better, more focused, more loving, kinder and more compassionate beings - to be leaders and not followers. We also have the ability to inspire others to help them achieve more in their lives, through the power of imagination and thought. Remember that the quality of our lives is hugely dependent on our thoughts, mindset, and intentions. Mastering these powerful components will shape us and help to bring more success in whatever we desire from life.
