Healing Begins in the Mind: 4 Powerful Tools to Help Train Your Mind

When you decide that you’re ready to improve your physical health, you might wonder where to even begin…

Most people think that the best place to start is with nutrition or exercise.

And though both of these elements are important to your health, an even better place to start is in your MIND.

You might think, “What does my mind have to do with my physical health?”

The truth is, that our mind is one of the most POWERFUL tools that we have to heal our bodies… 

This is because our belief systems, our values, our motivation, and our confidence all start in our minds first before we ever even make a move. 

This is why one of the principles that we teach to our wonderful clients at The Living Proof Institute is the mind, body, spirit approach to healing. Think about it – if you didn’t believe that you could do something, you wouldn’t even try!

This is why physical health begins in the mind. 

Our beliefs and values are built up throughout our entire life and can take time and retraining to change… 

So I compiled a list of the 4 most powerful tools you can start using today to train your mind to promote positive physician health: 

1. Expect Positive Outcomes

The mind is so powerful that it can actually create whatever disease or ailment that we tell it to have. 

In essence, what we believe is wrong with us is what our mind will tell our body, and then as a result how our body will behave. 

We must tell our minds the expectation that we desire.

A great example of this concept is the placebo effect. 

Every gold standard study in medicine uses the placebo effect. This means there is a control group that receives a “sugar pill” instead of the actual medication. 

It is often the case that the control group sees better results than the group that actually received the medication. That is how powerful the mind is!

Try to practice expecting positive outcomes. If your body creates what your mind tells it to create, then practice telling your mind that your body is strong, healthy, and resilient. 

Watch how your positive expectations manifest into abundant physical health!

2. Work Through Past Trauma: We all have both a conscious mind and a subconscious mind that govern the majority of our functioning. 

The beliefs in our subconscious mind are ingrained in us between ages 0 and 8 years old. 

It is crucial to revisit the important events that happened in your life between ages 0 and 8 in order to best understand the core beliefs that were instilled in you…

How did your parents treat you and each other?

What values were you taught?

What was the belief system that was created?

Your values and belief system become that little voice in the back of your head that tells you who you are and how you react to situations in your life. 

It’s important to know that you can change that voice. You have the power to replace those negative beliefs about yourself with positive beliefs that empower you. 

Working through past trauma will allow you to overcome limiting beliefs and remove the subtle sabotaging frequencies that prevent you from living your best life.

3. Adopt an Attitude of Gratitude: Gratitude is something that can exist alongside negative emotion. The thought of giving thanks in tough situations might sound impossible, but it’s an important element of healing. 

Being grateful for the people, places, and things in your life is crucial in training your mind to think more positively and unleash a greater capacity for healing. 

A practice of daily gratitude has been shown to significantly increase your happiness, improve the quality of your sleep, boost your immunity, and even decrease your risk of disease! 

Practicing gratitude can be as simple as remembering to say “thank you” to the people in your life. 

Two other ways to practice gratitude are keeping a gratitude journal where you write down quick notes about what you’re thankful for, or to do a guided meditation surrounding gratitude. 

Challenge yourself to devote one month towards practicing gratitude and see how your thought processes change for the better! 

Gratitude will help pave your path towards healing. 

4. Visualize Your Optimal Health: Yes- it really is that easy! Visualization is a powerful tool to train your mind.

If you are stuck in a cycle of seeing yourself struggling, your mind listens to that! As a result, your body will physically manifest what you picture in your mind.

Much like expecting positive outcomes, your mind relies on visuals to produce an outcome. You must see yourself healing before you can heal.

Let’s try this out:

Try to visualize your optimal health- what does it look like?

Maybe it looks like waking up with an abundance of energy every morning. 

Eating fresh, nutrient-dense foods that satisfy your body. Joyfully moving your body with ease every single day. Living your life free from illness and disease. 

Picture yourself doing all of the things that you imagine your optimal health looks like. These images that you play in your head will become the actions that you take in your daily life! 

If you feel like you have tried everything and still struggle with low energy, brain fog, sleep disturbances, chronic aches and pains, and stubborn weight, maybe it’s time you try a new approach.
