I don't know about anyone else but I know how powerful my mind is (in a negative way!!). A small example is - I'm very forgetful these days and on many occasions have taken a couple of paracetamols and immediately afterwards wondered whether I'd already taken some half an hour previously. A start working my way backwards, trying to remember what time I might have had some and, before I know it, I've CONVINCED myself that instead of 2, I've swallowed 4 of the blasted things!! That's when the physical symptoms of panic, sickness etc come in - purely and simply because I think I've taken too many tablets!! The same thing happens when I've been prescribed tablets by the doctor - because of a few incidents where prescriptions have "knocked me for six", I convince myself that the same thing is going to happen and, surprise surprise! It does!
If I can make these negative thoughts produce such real and powerful physical symptoms ...... just think what can be done by thinking positively!!! Oooooerrr!!
