4 Tips to expedite self-healing

Whenever you feel less than your best, basic mental discipline techniques can facilitate healing. Ever heard, "mind over matter?" Cases exist that reveal the mind influences healing. It has also been shown people learn to tap into their own energy and sense it amplify desirable changes.  What about you?

Now, illness and disease manifest with varying degrees of severity. Your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes affect how you perceive symptoms and courses of treatment.  As you explore options that resonate with you to regain your strength and vitality, consider these four tips to expedite healing;

1) Think before you speak. When someone asks how you are, do you immediately describe all negative feelings and sensations you experience? A person reinforces negative energy by emphasizing discomfort. Its like fueling a fire. Listen to yourself.  To strengthen healing, choose to share uplifting perspectives like, "I'm feeling much better today."  Recap only positives or, paths to recovery you dream into being.

2) Curtail destructive emotions. You generate emotions consciously and unconsciously. When you feel negative emotions coming on, you can view this as an opportunity to shift to the opposite emotion. It is all about awareness.  Noticing negativity can actually facilitate healing. Each emotion is a teacher. How you react and respond matters.

3) Control your thoughts- Bob Proctor quotes his teacher Leland Val Vandewall who said, “Thinking creates an image. Images control feelings. Feelings cause actions and actions create results.” This reminds you that how you think creates a domino effect. Developing mental discipline is very helpful.

4) Reframe fears. How often do you permit your imagination to run away with you? Some people seem prone to envisioning worst case scenarios. Ever meet anyone with an illness who starts listing all the people they know who have had similar symptoms and suddenly passed on? These individuals are nurturing fears.  To become aware of what you do already begins to dissolve the invisible, negative energy beneath it.

"Some people seem prone to envisioning worst case scenarios." I am one of these people. Need to think more positively. :(

Your lesson here is so very important for us to achieve well being. Thank-you for sharing.

Hi Liara,
I usually ask people how they are doing when I go out into the world. I am happy to report that most of them say, "I am blessed," or "I can't complain," to which I respond, "Life is a gift."

Occasionally I will run into people who channel negativity, but I usually neutralize it with positivity. It IS mind over matter and Soul over mind.

Hi Liara. I really have to make a conscious effort to say how I'm feeling in a positive way. It's a muscle I'm flexing more often than I used to. So is reframing fears. There seems to be no lack of opportunities to learn this one :-) I'm tweeting this one.

"Think before you speak" is my favorite. It actually resonates a lot wit "Park" technique of Emotional Intelligence.
Once I was Emotionally ehm... less intelligent, meaning impulsive. Not any more. The more I practice Park technique the more I gain influence without authority.

leafless, I know a woman who expects to come down with the flu each year at a particular point during winter. Like clockwork, her body evolves to realize this vision. She is consistently grumpy before, during and after. She relives the suffering she imagines and expects. I also know a man who used to think like that but chose to change. He susprised himself by breaking his annual, seasonal pattern. He begins to tap into his unlimited inner power.

Mark, a person who remains open and receptive picks up gems everywhere. Your state of mind affects how you live.

Alexys, optimism and enthusiasm emit uplifting energy frequencies. When you choose to create a posiive outlook, you discover good vibrations are catching. Some people who do not share this atttude may be disturbed or angered by smiley, happy people. As you learn to listen to yourself, how other people react to you does not matter.

Davina, identifying habits you wish to change is a step closer to actually doing so. It can seem humbling. Every feeling is a teacher that encourages consistency.

Mark S., kind of you to stop by. Blessings, health and well-being to you.

Alik, many people experience what it is like to, as they say, put a foot in their mouth. They wish they had put a sock in it before rather than after the fact. The thing is, people learn so much by doing. As you learn to step back from your judging side, you begin to realize how valuable each experience is on levels you had missed before.

I love the topic of self-healing. Just taking responsibility for our own well-being is the first step to being healthy and happy. I know people in business who always reply when asked how business is going, "Getting better all the time!" which is basically reinforcing the thought that tomorrow is going to be better than today. Now that's success thinking!

[Liara Covert]

Daphne, those optimistic people you describe inspire positive thinking in others. Individuals often underestimate the power of the energy they feel and send out into the world. People read you even in silence. Your energy is amplified in he world around you. When you choose to feel good, yo usens positive things other people miss. You realize you create the world you think about.

[rummuser]

I am one of those naturally positive persons and I rarely take off into anything negative about my state of being. It is for the simple reason that there is hardly any thing negative in my life in any case. How did I reach there? I do not know. I suppose that it is just divine intention.

[Liara Covert]

rummuser, positive people are often serene at the core. When you evolve to visualize the bright side of most things, you are tested. Negative energy people will enter into your life. To be non-reactive is always possible, but for many people, incredibly difficult. Why is that? They condition themselves to believe life must be a struggle. You offer an inspiring example of the contrary. You remind people they need not explain everything. Yet, to raise awareness of how you think and feel is key.

Four little nuggets if ever there were some!

"Curtail destructive emotions" I'm actually getting pretty good at this and working on the thoughts one.

I think what's really really making me a much more positive person is I haven't watched the news in months. And that in itself takes away the fear factor as bad news makes headlines.

[Liara Covert]

To recognize sources of negative energy in your life is the first step to deciding what to do about that. Awareness is a very powerful tool. The news is someone else's view on what is important. To take control of your own life implies you are willing to shift the focus of energy back to you.

Hi Liara ~ I am just surfacing from a period of intense creative work, under time pressure and with the quantative (as well as qualitative) goals and this post is just what I needed. Also I have had such good news....my website is secured for another two years....I thought I was going to lose it, but my new webmaster saved it for me. I learnt this while I was writing this comment. I cant stop smiling :)
