Mind Over Body
According to Karl Jung, “what you resist, persists”. If you’ve heard of the Law of Attraction, you probably already know this statement and understand its significance. The Law states that what we think about, we bring about. Whatever we spend time focusing on, particularly with great feeling, we can bring into reality. The problem is, if you spend more time worrying over the things you don’t want to happen, by the very nature of the Law, you are drawing these circumstances towards you.
So how does this apply to the problem of excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis as its scientifically known? Well, if you suffer from this problem you probably dont need me to tell you that when you start to sweat, you get stressed…which can make you sweat even more.
The levels of stress and anxiety that you experience when you start to sweat, and the focus your mind has on your problem, means that according to the Law you are bound to start sweating even more.
When you’re getting ready to go to work, or out for the evening, you’re probably not sweating…but you are probably worrying about it whether it’s going to happen at some point.
And this worrying is a pretty strong emotion to attach to your thought so the more you worry about it the more likely it is that your sweating is going to start.
The Law of Attraction would probably take a lot more than the space on this page to explain in detail, but if you can believe that thinking about the problem makes it worse, you can use the Law to your benefit. If you start to use the power of positive thoughts, the Law will help you overcome your problem.
You might want to be dry, sweat-free and confident all day, so you should really apply some thought to this. You could visualise being sat in your chair at work, leaning back and putting your arms behind your head, knowing your shirt or blouse isn’t stained with sweat. Get a picture in your mind of being on a night out with friends where you can really enjoy yourself because your underarms are fresh and dry.
Affirmations are a big part of using the Law of Attraction for your benefit. You say, out loud or in your head, what you want to happen, but say it in the present tense like it is already happening, as if you are already receiving it. The Law states that this will then become your reality.
Affirmations should always be positive and in the present tense to be really effective, for example you could try saying this every morning before you go off to work. “I am confident and comfortable and my underarms are dry and fresh all day”.
If the Law of Attraction is something totally new to you, you might not see how positive thinking and affirmations can improve your problem. However, if you really believe in what you are saying and put thought and feeling in to it, it might be something that could really help your excessive sweating problem. Isn’t it worth trying?
If you want to learn more about the Law of Attraction and how it might be able to help you, you could read a book called The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. For a more practical approach to solving the problem of excessive sweating, visit my website.
