Change Your Life in Five Minutes
I’ve spoken about a persons identity on several occasions in the past. One example is the post: An Empowered Identity. So what creates your identity? What shapes it and how can you influence it over time? The are subtle little things you can do to enhance your own ‘persona’ or self image over time.
We’ve all heard the get rich quick schemes in which you only have to work ten minutes a day to make millions of dollars. We laugh at these promises because there’s no way that could actually happen, right? Though you might not be sitting in piles of money at the end of the practice, you can begin to change your life in less than five minutes a day. By harnessing the power of your mind, you can begin to change the way your life is headed.
Everyone Has Five Minutes To Spare
Whichever is more convenient, stop and sit down with yourself somewhere quiet. You need to close your eyes and begin to picture the thing you want most in your life. Picture it in detail so that it’s clear what you want and what your life will be like once you have it. Think about the smells, the sounds, the tastes, the feel and the looks – all of these will help to intensify the effect of this visualization.
Changing Your Brain Chemistry
What you’re doing is changing your brain chemistry a little by imprinting this positive picture in your head. The more you practice this, the more your brain will change, causing your actions to become influenced by this impression you have made in your mind. By simply visualizing the thing you want most each day, you will begin to make choices in your life that bring you closer to this goal. For example, if you want to lose weight and you visualize a skinnier new you, you will notice that you’re not as hungry for that second helping anymore and that you want to exercise more because you want that picture in your head.
It’s really that simple. By taking the time to create a picture in your mind of what you want, you can begin to create that impossible dream.
Have a most outstanding day

It all goes with the mind. When the mind is strong, we will be strong. When we are shaken, our mind will be confused. It is good to seek for clarity in out thoughts and stay focus to our goals. Your post here to change our life in 5 minutes is wonderful. I like it. Cheers!

Hi Lim. I hope it does help some people change their life
The main thing is that they are prepared to help themselves improve, somehow.

I strongly believe in the power of our brain! What we think is what we become. Sometimes if we think we are sick, even if we are not, then we feel sick. If we think we can do it, then we can somehow do it! “Dream, believe and survive” learn to stand on what you think and act. Success will surely be attainable.

I agree. The power of the mind is incredible. We manifest our own moods and health to a very large degree.

You draw attention to things people may know inside but deny, or for some other reason, wronglfully assume simple will be ineffective. Coincidentally, in French, there is an idiomatic expression: “chercher midi a quatorze heures.” Loosely translated into English, this means, “to make complicated what should be simple.” For some reason, ego would like to convince us that life must be hard when in reality, the opposite is true. Imagine how many people must spend a lifetime either brainwashing themselves or, deconditioning their brainwashed mind?

The mind can do amazing things, even change the way your body physically works. The concept of being able to “train your brain” is quite powerful. If the mind can do things like cure cancer or solve an impossible math problem, this isn’t too out of reach. Nice article.
