Learn to Tap Into Your Source of Power (The Mind) Better

Discover 13 solid practical ways to tap into your mind.

The source of all power truly lies within you.

I dont think you need me to tell you the incredible power that lies inside the human mind.

All the great minds of history have known this and have written about the power of the human mind.

The mind — your mind, my mind, universal mind, etc is truly an astonishing faculty.

Science has and continues to be amazed by the human mind but even now in 2022, the human mind is still not fully understood by science.

The mind has been studied for centuries and continues to be studied and new discoveries are being made all the time on the subject.

It’s fair to say though that despite it all most people including yourself probably dont fully understand the power of the mind.

You probably understand it on an intellectual and even spiritual level but if you’re like most people you dont understand the full workings of your mind.

The truth of the matter is you dont need to know everything about the mind.

Rather you just need to know about what can be of practical use in your life.

It’s like with so many things in life — math, electricity, cars, vacuum cleaners, etc.

You dont need to know all the intricacies, ins and outs, just what is practical, and useful for you.

The exception is if you’re a specialist in these areas ( yes there are vacuum cleaner specialists!)then you must know the ins and outs of your area.

So then when it comes to your mind, how do you utilize it so it’s practical and useful for your life?

There are many answers and approaches to this question.

But for this piece, I will present 13 strategies all highly actionable and highly practical for you to use.

All of these have much science behind them. Just do a little research and you’ll see for yourself.

In addition, all strategies have been tried and tested by myself.

I like to present things that I have personally worked with and seen results.

I encourage you to be like a scientist and experiment and try these out along with other techniques and practices you come across.

1. Be a student of your mind

Read, watch, and consume material on the subject. Enroll in an online course, read books, listen to podcasts, YouTube videos, read Medium articles, etc. You’ll never look at your mind the same way and feel so empowered with your knowledge. It's impossible to understand ‘mindset’ if you dont study mindset.

2) Understand Paradigms

The late Bob Proctor made me aware of paradigms and it has completed transformed my life and my understanding of the human mind. Paradigms are your mental programs formed both genetically and environmentally stored deep in your subconscious mind and control the results in your life. Listen to Bob here explain more about paradigms. Until you understand paradigms you wont fully understand your mind.

3) Explore your subconscious mind

Go deep and explore your control room to the mind — the subconscious mind which is where your paradigms are and also your beliefs and self image are. All true change in life must start with reprogramming your subconscious mind. Learn more about the subconscious in the classic book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murray.

4) Learn the art of make-believe

Understand that your mind, can’t distinguish between what’s real and what’s imagined. Use this to your advantage. Visualize, daydream, fantasize, etc and act “as if.” This eventually becomes your reality. If you’ve been there in the mind you’ll go there in the body. All top athletes and performers understand this concept. Do you?

5) Go on a mental diet

Go on a 7-day mental diet with Emmet Fox for a change. All about substituting your negative and dysfunctional beliefs for more empowering ones. Mental diets are often needed more than physical diets.

6) Exercise your mind

Just like your body, your mind requires exercise to stay fit and healthy. Along with all the suggestions listed so far here which will help to exercise your mind check out NeuroGym for mental exercise.

7) Monitor your thoughts

Daily practice thought control and thought selection. Be highly selective of what you allow into your mind. Remember you become what you think about and you build your life thought by thought. Cultivate empowering not disempowering thoughts.

8) Learn to direct your focus

Focus is power if you learn how to direct it. Best way to do this is to stop focusing on things that disempower you like failures and mistakes. Instead, focus on what’s working in your life. Write a want list and read it every day. Helps put your focus on what you want and less on what you dont want.

9) Practice meditation and mindfulness

Ancient practices that our modern world has embraced for learning about the mind and directing it better are great to incorporate into your life. Explore a few options to see which ones work for you.

10) Spend some time in silence

This can be just five minutes first thing in the morning. Silence is needed to still your mind & essentially give you insights. Silence breeds clarity of mind.

11) Preserve your mental bandwidth

Reduce and eliminate mental overwhelm by preserving your mental bandwidth. Turn off notifications on your phone, cut back your social media use and get enough sleep. These all free up space in your mind.

12) Use the Power of Repetition

Repetition of ideas is what programs your mindest. That is the consistent application of ideas like the ones presented here. The mind learns by repetition. You get good at anything that you repeat. Use it for building positive habits and practices in your life.

13) Practice Gratitude

Daily write down just 3 things you are grateful for. Gratitude not only puts you in a great vibration it actually helps reprogram your mind for positivity.
