Is Everything Mental?

Hmm...thread title...

I mean,not just penis enlargement...

But with everything....I mean,if your mind thinks you can do it....it gets done...its crazy how much your mind can control you pushing your self pass the limit and making you do and improve things...Anyone elses views ?anyone agree?

Can you do anything,if your mind is completely on completing or getting that?Physical or not...

You do the exercises right, you put in all the time and stay consistent, you TRULY believe you are going to get bigger, you believe so much that you start thinkin "when im that size im gonna do this.." like its a sure thing. And than at the end of the month you measure and nothing.. That feeling of failure, that fucking feeling..

So your answer in my experience, No.

EVERYTHING and I mean EVERYTHING is Psychological. If you ever took a college Psychology class you would understand. What the mind perceives could be 100 miles from the truth. Thats why a lot of people get discouraged when doing Penis Enlargement. They can look down and everything looks exactly the same but in reality its growing

exactly,your mind is everything.I belive that if you put your mind on something itll happen.

This might sound egotistical, but when you tell yourself you have a huge cock it leads you into believing that you really do. So whenever I started getting that mind set I started to strive in my exercises to make those gains so I really would have a big member. (Still workin on it by the way:s )

This is a interesting conversation and you'd said some interesting things My05cavy, heres something I've been discussing with my therapist..

Its about congnitive (thinking) negative and positive things..

For example, if you said to yourself in the mirror "I've got a small dick" if you wake up everyday and say that eventually you'll think and feel your small, and your mind re-inforces those thoughts with exeperiences (for example if someone said you had a small dick, or maybe you read a survey or poll saying your on the small side.)

Like I must be small because so and so said it that one time, so I am really small..

And eventually it becomes part of your 'believe' system, and no matter how irrational it sounds you dont care, because you are certain you've got a small dick, even if the hottest girl in the world told you herself that you had a big dick, you wouldnt believe it, because your so certain that your really small.

On the flip side how do you reverse those thoughts.. By thinking positively, by saying, "i've got a big dick".. Heres the part I dont understand..

If I say I have a small dick in the mirror, I fucking believe it, theres feeling, No doubts.. and if I say I have a big dick theres no feeling, its just something I say but I dont believe, I have no ways to re-inforce the idea that I'm big, but I can think of a bunch of ways to support the fact im small. How can you truly believe something, because YOU said you had a big dick, you than have one?

No no I dont think it works like that, maybe I havnt gotten far enough.

Thats where im stuck.

I dont mean to argue btw im just discussing more about this topic :s I dont mean to sound offensive and I know im a negative person its something Im trying to work on..

oliver, I think you hit the nail right on the head there.

I definitely agree with you about a negative perception becoming part of my belief system. I mean, everyday of my life ever since puberty, my perception of penis size has been negative. Everywhere I see things that reinforce my perception that my penis is small and everyone else is large (doesn't help that I'm Asian). Fine.

Now, what I want to know, and I'm assuming you want to know, is how to change those deep rooted beliefs into a positive, productive mindset. I read one of DLD's threads a while back about the power of a good mindset, and did what I could to achieve such a mindset. I woke up everyday, looked at my dick, and said "Wow, you're getting big there buddy!"

But in reality, I saw no change, and felt no better deep inside due to the deep rooted beliefs that I had from years of prior experience.

So what I've come to search for is a way to change those beliefs. The mind is WITHOUT A DOUBT a crucial factor, we all know this. But it takes a lot to change someone, especially in the mind.

So how do we go about doing this? How do we get that mindset that will unlock our ultimate potential?

I'm all out of ideas, but I'll tell you what, I'm going to keep trying, and trying any advice this fine Penis Enlargement community can give.

All I can say now is that I wont give up, and neither should anyone. We CAN change ourselves. You can get unstuck. We just need a little help.

I am all ears.

The main point that I argue is the way you think doesnt have a bearing on reality.

The outlook you have on life isnt going to change weather something good or something bad is going to happen to you, only how you handle things when they happen.

Your Positive/Negative thinking on life doesnt effect weather your going to grow or not, that all happens physically, not mentally. However, your outlook on life does control how you handle your gains or no gains, weather your going to stay motivated, or believe your going to gain.

In reponse to Cavy (with all due respect), You make a great point, the mind can precieve things far from the truth, but the ruler never lies.

If someone can prove me otherwise please show me.

They way your brain takes things is a huge role on the outcome of it. Weight lifting if your mind isn't focused well your not gonna lift high. Sports you aren't focused good luck scoring. Playing the field with women you to caught up you are not gonna go home with the girl. Mental health is the most important thing to anyone. "You can do anything if you put your mind to it." Overused phrase that tends to shed more truth every time told.

Peace has been described as "...the cessation of againstness". Stress suppresses growth of any kind, even at the cellular level...so find some peace and grow a little.
Let us know how you do.

yup everything is mental. I am drinking beer!

So it looks like there's a bit of a conundrum here... it seems we can all agree that negative attitudes and beliefs can have a detrimental on one's gains, be it in Penis Enlargement or bodybuilding or whatever.

But at the same time, we are not seeming to experience the opposite, our 'positive' thoughts and feelings are not helping us, mainly because we don't really believe ourselves when we say them!

So I guess the key for this is to get to a stage when we really do believe ourselves when we use our positive mantras. Perhaps its simple consistency and repetition - at first, we won't believe ourselves, but the more we do it and keep being positive, eventually we will convince ourselves?

Another thing is, it is much easier to be negative, particularly when it comes to something like 'getting bigger' - think about prior to starting a Penis Enlargement or bodybuilding program, you don't look yourself and think, 'damn I'm still the same size and I should be getting bigger', because you're not expecting to. But when you're engaged on the program, suddenly perception changes and a previously neutral observation suddenly takes on a negative connotation because you feel you're not reaching your goals if you're not getting bigger. And of course, it's far easier to give yourself negative feedback because it will take some time before you can actually see any positive result (which is a good reason to avoid obsessive measuring). So it's important to maintain positivity until you do actually see a result, then hopefully the positive feedback you get from progress will keep the positivity going.

Here's a way to apply the power of positive thinking to your P.E. routine. We all know that our dicks, flaccid and erect, wax and wane. Some days they're thicker and a bit longer. Other days they're shrunk back into our fat pads, ( I'm speaking for myself here), peeking out like a frightened turtle.

My idea here is that we should only focus on our collective dicks and practice P.E. when they are expansive--the day or room is warm, we've taken a hot shower, we're watching some good ����, whatever. And we should measure our dicks those days--before, during, and after our session. I don't believe in waiting for months to measure my dick. It's too damn variable and there are too many external (and internal) factors affecting it.

Let's say I've spent an hour edging to some hot ���� or a hot fantasy--or whatever. I can get my dick, especially the girth, to an inordinately thick size. I've seen my girth at the base at 8". Is this not mind-boggling? I think it is. So what if I only did it once? It means the potential is there. It's not bogus. It's just that I can't repeat it at will, and certainly not if I plan to get a pic of it. The same thing goes with my nocturnal erections. They're way above what I can achieve through jelqing or stretching or even before sexual intercourse.

So focus on the positive--even if it's transient and temporary--it's part of you and it's the best of you.

May the POWER be with you.
