After nearly 4 weeks of lockdown due to the Corona Virus you will all by now have an idea of the power of the mind as in isolation we talk to ourselves, the fridge, the telly or anything else we think is listening and most of us only use a fraction of the potential of our minds and even then tend to concentrate on something negative rather than positive.
We are now bombarded with news from many sources such as news reports, social media or well meaning but ill-informed friends and we are all pre-programmed to reflect of experiences in our lives, most of which are negative.
For example we can all easily forget a good experience from last week but remember a bad experience from 20 years ago.
The outcome is that our minds become receptive to all things negative and we can all be drawn to the ‘dark side’ mentally.
By way of an example of the power of the mind if you can read the following test is your mind strange or normal?
I cdnuolt blveiee that I cluod aulacity uesdnatnrd what I was rdanieg.
The phaomneal pweor of the human mind,aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy,it dseno’t mtaetr in what oerdr the ltteres in a word are, the only iproamtnt thing is that the frsit and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae.
The rset can be a taotl mses and you can still raed it whotuit a pboerlm.
This is bcuseae the human mind deos not raed ervery lteter by istlef but the word as a wlohe.
Azanmig huh? Yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
If the human mind can work in such a powerful way with words then just think what it can do with a head full of negative thoughts BUT the good news is that YOU and only YOU are in control of your mind and you can choose to think positively and with imagination or negatively with a closed mind.
By the way just give a thought for me because the spell checker on my computer has just blown a gasket proof reading this article!
Until the next time stay safe and healthy.
