Teacher Ophelius: “Today, my dear [[friends]], we would like to talk about [[changing]] the [[Mind|mental landscape]] and doing something that will [[renew]] or begin a new chapter in your [[life]]. Far too many of you have ‘settled’ into a life of routines and [[habits]] that are unproductive and that bring little [[joy]], [[excitement]], or [[health]]y change. Instead, you have settled for [[comfort]] and complacency — [[entertainments]] in place of social [[interaction]], [[creative]] outlets, or healthy [[lifestyles]]. Others, because of social [[pressures]] and lack of [[opportunity]], have felt ‘left out,’ [[trapped]], and have given up on the pursuit of [[happiness]]. Life can be difficult in [[your world]] and in the place you find yourself, but do not give up, my friends, because you have the [[power]] to change all that, and it begins by making a [[decision]] to change the mental landscape — the way you see yourself and the world around you.
“The first [[step]] to making any change is to acknowledge the current condition of your [[life]]. What are your routines and [[habits]]? Are you healthy? Do you feel [[good]] about yourself? How do others see you? Have you set any [[goals]] or taken any steps to move toward something that interests you and that promotes [[growth]] and [[maturity]] of [[the mind]]? Take an [[honest]] life review and see what the ‘state of [[the self]]’ is. Some of you may need help in this area and we [[encourage]] you to seek help sorting out the issues that keep you stuck. Once you identify the self-imposed [[limitations]], you can do something about it and move beyond it. Excuses are only [[rationalizations]] of the [[ego]] that give you permission to stay complacent and ‘safe.’ Recognize these [[critical]] voices and move in the opposite [[direction]] — do something for yourself that is completely out of your [[comfort zone]] that will bring a new [[experience]] to your life.
“One of the biggest ‘[[game]] changers’ for many is getting [[health]]y. When you physically feel good, you have a healthier outlook on life and a greater will to try new things and [[experiences]]. Your [[self-esteem]] is elevated because the energy you put out into the world gets [[reflected]] back by those around you — they see the change and are [[motivated]] by it. Everything begins to change with a healthy [[attitude]] and a positive outlook — it is infectious.
“[[Health]]y [[mind]] means feeding it with healthy [[thoughts]]. Move away from [[entertainments]] and news [[media]] that promote or instill [[fear]], [[violence]], [[destruction]], or social [[dysfunction]]. Replace it with music and books that are [[positive]], [[beautiful]], and uplifting. Make time for [[meditation]] and connection with the [[Indwelling Spirit]]. Your powers of [[concentration]] will improve once you remove the chatter of unhealthy media and replace it with [[peace]], [[love]], and [[understanding]]. You are a co-creator with God and so you have the power to create. Do something [[creative]] and get involved with other [[kindred spirits]] that enjoy similar interests.
This is how you begin to [[change]] the [[Mind|mental landscape]]. [[Evaluate]], acknowledge, and make [[peace]] with the [[past]] — move forward by changing your routine, your lifestyle, and your [[attitude]]. Your [[future]] will change and [[unfold]] in ways you never thought possible. Call on Spirit for help, and we will [[assist]] you by creating the [[opportunities]] for you to succeed. When you change, the world around you changes and this is how we [[transform]] a planet.
