Mind over matter
Okay kiddo, have you ever heard the phrase "mind over matter"? It means that you can use your mind, or your thoughts and feelings, to control things that happen in your body or in the world around you.
Let's imagine you have a big test coming up and you're feeling really nervous. If you tell yourself "I can do this, I am prepared," you might feel more confident and do better on the test. That's an example of using your mind to control your actions and feelings.
Another example is when you get a boo-boo, like a cut or a scrape. If you think happy thoughts or distract yourself, you might not feel as much pain or discomfort. That's mind over matter too!
Some people even believe that by really focusing their thoughts, they can do things like move objects with their minds or heal themselves from sickness. While this might not be scientifically proven, it shows how powerful our minds can be.
So, the next time you're feeling worried or uncomfortable, try using your mind to make yourself feel better or control your actions. Remember, mind over matter!
