Mind Over Matters

Ever watch a great basketball player get himself set, going through the motions without the ball, before taking a free throw? Or a football team working itself up into a frenzy before a kickoff?

Ever wonder how a sugar pill, a placebo, can make us think we're well when we're sick?

Does all this have a point?

Yes: That this delicate bundle of neurons and neurochemistry that we all carry inside our heads and which has been evolving for eons is a powerful creative instrument. It does exactly what we tell it to do and can bend the world to its beliefs.

So be careful how you use yours.

Don't ask for something you don't really want. You'll probably get it.

Remember...your mind minds!
