Imagination, And The Power Of The Mind

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he...Proverbs 23:7

Something very interesting about this fight or flight phenomenon is that you do not have to be in actual threatening situation for your body to react. Just thinking or dreaming about, imagining, or even remembering such a situation can cause you body to produce the same physical, mental, and emotional responses.

Have you ever been lying in bed late at night and heard some little noise that caused your mind to start playing games with you? You are lying there safely and securely, yet you begin to prespire, your mouth dries up, your heart starts pounding and so fourth.

Isn't it amazing that just the mere thought of danger can produce the same reaction as real danger? We can see why the Bible warns us of the tremendous importance and impact of our thoughts and emotions on our everyday lives.
Another example would be in hearing a vague rumor of some possible layoffs at work. When people hear that type of rumor, they usually start worrying. Some people worry to the point of having stomach trouble.

The power of the mind, of thought, of imagination and emotion is immense and every bit as real as the power of the physical realm. We should make every effort not to worry, become fearful or mentally re-live situations that have been emotionally upsetting to us.

Just a thought to keep your thoughts possitive, and stay the course toward the light of happiness....

Sickness is the result of worry, and unhappiness..

Be blessed
