Imagine your mind as a beautiful, lush garden. This garden is filled with the most vibrant flowers and the tallest trees, radiating an energy of positivity. But sometimes, lurking in the shadows, are the weeds of negative thoughts, the undergrowth of bad karma that threatens to choke the life out of this scenic landscape. Like any gardener, it becomes your responsibility to nurture the growth of the beautiful and systematically eliminate the undesirable. Just as we prune our physical gardens, so must we cultivate our mental gardens, paving the way for a mindset change that enhances our lives. The first step is to clear negative thoughts. However, negative thoughts are stubborn, much like tenacious weeds. They cling, and when you try to remove them, they resist. But remember, “The mind is everything. What you think, you become.” These words by Buddha remind us of the power our thoughts hold in shaping our reality. Understanding this gives us the courage to tackle our negative thoughts head-on.
One effective technique is to replace negative thoughts with positive affirmations. Consider that for every “I can’t,” you plant a seed of “I can.” For every “I’m not good enough,” you sow a “I am capable.” Over time, these seeds of positivity will grow, gradually transforming your mental landscape.
Next, we need to remove bad karma. Karma is the universal law of cause and effect. To put it simply, the actions you take today influence what happens to you in the future. It might seem daunting, but the beauty of karma is that it isn’t set in stone. Just as you would remove weeds from your garden, bad karma can be cleared through deliberate, positive actions. Think of each good deed as a cleansing rain, washing away the remnants of bad karma and fostering the growth of positivity.
Finally, to change your mindset effectively, you must tend to your mental garden consistently. Mindset change is not a one-off event. It requires persistence. Thomas Edison once said, “Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” This statement resonates deeply when trying to bring about a mindset change. Consistency in nurturing positive thoughts and actions eventually leads to a flourishing mental garden. Cultivating your mental garden is an ongoing journey. It’s about being patient with yourself as you navigate through the process of clearing negative thoughts and removing bad karma. It’s about being persistent in your efforts to bring about a change in your mindset. Remember, every garden starts with a single seed. Plant yours today and watch yourself grow, bloom, and transform into a beacon of positivity. After all, a well-tended garden doesn’t just bloom overnight, it requires continuous care. And so does your mind. Keep cultivating, keep growing, keep changing. And let your mental garden flourish with a robust mindset.
Sometimes we need more than just an article on clearing out the weeds from our mental garden. My books – Magical Money Manifestations and it’s expanded version Magic, Money and Mindset will help you learn techniques to overcoming negative thoughts, feelings and start on the road to prosperous thinking.

Many people scoff at the idea of having psychic abilities, such as telepathy or levitation- to name some of the commonly known ones, but they definitely exist. While many don’t believe in this, a large chunk of the world’s population believes in the existence of a supernatural world. This world is not part of the physical world we live in, but it isn’t that difficult to connect with this world.

What Exactly Does It Mean to Be Psychic?
Well, being psychic generally means having the ability to tap into the spiritual world or use extrasensory perception, using that energy to perform various acts which can include:
- Astral projection- Projecting your consciousness outside of your physical body.
- Automatic writing- Writing or drawing unconsciously
- Divination- Being able to gain insight through processes such as Tarot card reading
- Levitation- Being able to fly or float
- Telekinesis- Controlling objects through your mind
- Mediumship- Having the ability to talk to spirits
- Premonition- Identifying future events which are about to occur
- Retrocognition- Know what is happening at a distant location
- Psychometry- Gauging information about something through the sense of touch
While a selected few are able to tap into these abilities without specific training or guidance, most individuals need to practice the wielding of such abilities. Normally, you have to work towards becoming proficient in the above-mentioned psychic abilities.
Which Signs Indicate That You Might Be Psychic?
Interestingly, there are several signs which can indicate that you may have psychic abilities. If you can relate to these signs, you can work towards tapping into them to increase your power over such abilities.
- Ability to sense the future- This ranges from being able to sense danger, get certain vibes from a place or person indicating how your interaction with them will turn out and having a strong feeling about a future event. Another manifestation of this is having visions and vivid dreams frequently, which normally have some meaning in your life.
- Ability to communicate with the spiritual world- This normally translates into seeing spirits, talking to them, detecting their presence or their auras, hearing voices and seeing things in your peripheral vision.
- Ability to gauge details about other people- Normally, psychics can pick up information about other people just by touching them, being around them or sensing their auras. This allows them to give great advice.
Tapping into psychic abilities can really change the way you perceive the world, and identifying these signs should set you on the right path.

Deciding to launch your first business as an entrepreneur is like swimming against the tide. There are so many challenges to overcome, like raising the necessary investment, hiring support, marketing your business, fighting the competition, servicing customers, keeping costs down, etc. But the biggest challenge perhaps lies within us i.e., battling our own demons and overcoming our own mindset barriers like fear, procrastination, etc. Since discussing one’s fears is usually seen as a sign of weakness, entrepreneurs usually do not like to admit that they have been afraid of challenges or they certainly do not like to talk about them openly, lest it would be interpreted as a sign of weakness.
