How To Trick Your Mind - Chapter 7

in life •  7 years ago 

Today I listed 5 ways on how to trick your brain into doing what you want ...


How to trick your mind is a series of mine where I usually write about specific topics on how to live a better and healthier life. Its so easy to trick your mind if you know how to do it. 


We are getting influenced by posters, magazines, advertisements, TV, radio and of course by the web every day. They make the decision on what to eat, what to drink, what to read, what to watch and even what to think sometimes. Now I will give you 5 ways how to trick your brain into doing what YOU want !


Realize that the world doesnt revolve around you

Our brains force us to be self-centered and this can be detrimental. You probably think that you´re never wrong, you are great at everything you do. You think you are just unlucky if bad things happen or that the other lanes at the checkout are moving faster than yours, am I right? But in reality, most of this couldnt be further from the truth. This is one area of your brain that tries to trick you and unfortunately there is no way to trick your mind back. Just be aware of the phenomena and so you wont fall prey to them as often as you do now. 


Be Happy

When I first started this series I also wrote about this topic a whole post. Being happy is for me the major key in life. There isnt more success or more goals than pure happiness ! Happiness comes within you so start imagine to shine through the inside out. Smiling helps a lot. Even if you are sad, chilled or whatever, try to smile and the situation will get a lot better than before !


Save money instead of blowing it

Saving money is a lot harder than it should be. We are trained to spend all our money on unnecessary things. For example on many bags and clothes. As soon as we hold cash in our hands we are going to think "On what can I spend such a high amount of money next?" And now I will tell you the problem about it. Your brain gets used to all that money and forgets very fast how life was without the money. If you arent strong enough to stay against this pressure, you could easily send the money to any savings account you would like.


Make friends instead of enemies

I have learned that every emotion you send out into the universe will come straight back to you! Before you judge people try to understand their way of life. People make mistakes. Thats why its not an argument to make enemies instead of friends.


Make your day last longer instead of wondering where it went

No matter how productive you are in a day, it always seems like there arent enough hours before bedtime. Try to change up your daily routine. The more information your brain has, the more time it feels has passed. So in order to have "longer days" present your brain with new informations regularly. Keep learning, meet new people ( Strangers ), You will be surprised about the quick difference...


They say that age is all in your mind. The trick is keeping it from creeping down into your body. 


I hope this could help you!

Thanks for reading 


Stay focused

Love, Soldier

I could not agree more about the power and fruitfulness of smiling. I find smiling is synonymous with laughter, but equally as important. I have not read any or your earlier works in this series, but I will have to go back in your blog and take a look. I am definitely looking forward to the next one😉

Smiling is contagious! I watched an experiment where a guy would get on the subway, scroll his phone and just smile and laugh. Pretty soon most of the train passengers were smiling as well :)

I also had a moment like this. Smiling is truly the best medicine

Oh thank you so much, really appreciate it !

Completely agree. Even if I start smiling for no reason, I still get happy xD. It's also refreshing to be around people who smile all the time!

Also, I made a post about this if you're interested.

😄 thanks

Wonderful life advice dude!

Thanks so much!

Love this post but can i add... if you can think it, u can achieve it. Its as simple as that. No matter how big your dream or how outrageous your desire is. Ask for it. Put the energy out into the world and the universe will bring you what your heart desires. Laws of attraction. Its all about positives vibes and good energy. Which ties along with being happy as you said. You put negative energy out there, you'll get negative energy back. Its as simple as that. You want a mansion and a yacht? Ask for it, then be grateful for it as if you already own it. Dont worry about the how. The universe will bring it to you. Its the secret of life. All the great philosophers of our time know this secret.

The universe will bring it to you! Love that, I truly live for that

thanks for your comment

Blessing. Your welcome. If you can think it, you can achieve it.

Thank you so much

Thanks so much!

Love this movie !!

Thank you a lot! appreciate it

Great advice! I love the one about saving money. I try to look at how many hours I would have to work to be able to afford something. If it costs more than an hours work is it really worth buying? It limits me to only the things that I really care about.

This is so true! People earn money to spend it on things which you dont need. Focus on saving money, it will help you a lot better in the future

I wish other people could see this. When I see my brother spending $10 on a coffee I think to myself, how absurd, you had to work 30 minutes for that coffee which will be gone in less than 5 minutes...was it really worth it? Unfortunately, society tells us that we need these things that really don't matter at all.

Thank you~ Be Happy!!

Always! :)

fully agree and tried these ways always and always get better results

Nice!

Good way to live life but it is not easy to do it.

True its not easy. You need to be focused and concentrate on your goal !

Nice write up as usual, writing of how to control you brain to be focus and not to be distracted is difficult task but you have done justice to it. If one succeed in making the brain focus, and making yourself happy at all time will help you produce more result than feeling that your unfortunate. upvoted as usual.

These are great perspectives! I hadn't thought about several of these things the way that you put them, but I can't argue with you -- they're true!

Thanks so much!

I am always right, let me explain, I only argue points where I have knowledge in the subject area or have done research and I have facts. So, I am always right, can't help it lol

If I am ever proven wrong, I admit it, but that is very rare.

But thank you for the post, I am trying to trick my brain into loosing weight.

Love this but you know it's not easy but all we can do is try . If something is worth buying we should think about its price and see how long it takes us to work first to see if it's worth it

Of course its not easy, if it was easy than it wouldnt be right. Great example ! Thanks for your opinion
