Mind over matter is a phrase defined by the Cambridge English Dictionary as “the power of the mind to control and influence the body”. If you are a fan of A.A. Milne’s Winnie the Pooh, you might know the song Mind Over Matter from The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. The song is sung to Pooh when he gets stuck in the door and Christopher Robin and friends are trying to convince Pooh to use his mind over his body.
