Mind Your Mind . We mind our step. We mind our manners. We mind our money. We mind our language. We mind our business. But, more often than not, we don’t mind our mind. The human mind is like a Golden Retriever puppy; consuming pretty much anything and everything in its path. And, just like the puppy, it will often consume things that make it sick. Do you ever feel like that space between your ears is not the healthiest place to be? . Welcome to a very large club. . Your mind is the control room of your life. It’s where you absorb, process and interpret information. It’s where you give the events and experiences of your world meaning. It’s the internal filter of your external environment. It’s where your beliefs, values, standards, expectations and fears live and operate. It’s the window from which you view the world around you. It’s the place that gives birth to your dreams, hopes and ideas. It’s the director of your choices, reactions and behaviours and, therefore, the controller and shaper of your personal reality. . Just like your body, your mind needs to be trained and nourished properly in order for it to function optimally. If you feed it rubbish, it will get sick. If you don’t exercise it, challenge it or ‘take it for a run’ from time to time, it will get fat, lazy and lethargic, its potential will never be explored and, more than likely, it will be an unpleasant place for you to live. . So, mind your mind. :) . (*Adapted from my book, Pull Your Finger Out, Penguin Publishing).
