The Power of the Mind

In Session 1 of my hypnobirthing course, we discuss the power of the mind which cannot be underestimated. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
When it comes to giving birth, it is the unconscious mind that is the powerful bit. The thoughts you put in your brain, get processed by the unconscious and have an effect on your body. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
This is why it’s important during your pregnancy that you shut the negatives out of your life completely, especially negative birth stories. When it comes to emotions, it is not possible to feel two opposite emotions at any one given time. You can’t feel relaxed and stressed at the same time. Likewise you cannot have a positive and a negative view of birth at the same time. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
The story goes that there are two wolves within your mind; one is the positive wolf, the other a negative one. These two wolves within your mind are continually doing battle. The wolf who wins is the one which you feed. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
If you feed the negative thoughts, these will become more powerful and will control how you think, feel and subsequently behave. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
Today, notice when you are thinking negatively and instantly change it for a more positive thought. The more you feed the positive, this will become the more powerful.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 
Just give it a go, the more you do it, the easier and more natural it will become.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
