"TO STOP THE WANDERING MIND, SET THE RIGHT LIFE GOALS
KNITTED WITH THE POSITIVE EMOTIONS”
Thought & physical reality:
Today, we enjoy & experience in the physical reality
many such things as mobile phone, house, car etc. Earlier, these were then just
in the form of thoughts or imaginations in someone mind. Our thoughts or
imaginations that we have in this present time will manifest physically as
things or products in near future. An intense thought or an idea in the mind
will turn into an innovative product in future. Such is the power of thoughts
from the mind.
Imagine the thoughts are not cohesive in nature? We all have
this experience in our daily life. No one is an exception to this experience.
Only, the time & duration of this experience vary from person to person.
When the thoughts are not cohesive and random in nature then we call that
experience as “mind wandering”. If you open up the books of neuroscience, this
is referred to as “Default network” of the brain.
Reason:
Why we switch to this
random mode? Let us understand the characteristics of the mind. Mind always
revolve around a centre point which is nothing but your important, interesting
and significant idea. When you don’t have this, your mind loses its centre
point. You can always witness this behaviour of the mind especially in a
scenario where you have nothing important to do. This is a right opportunity
for the mind to roam around.
Random thoughts:
Every thought is an electric impulse in the brain. Now, the
technology has evolved to an extent where one can able to read this signal from
the brain. So, thought is a form of energy. If we generate random thoughts then
we waste our energy. In fact, brain alone consumes 20% of the total energy.
Organised thoughts:
Organised thoughts occur when there is a strong presence of
the centre point. If the centre point is based on negative emotions such as
fear and worries then the thoughts are organised but work in a negative way.
When the centre point is based on the positive emotion then the thoughts are
again organised but work in a positive way.
So, it is not only important to have a centre point but make
sure that it has a positive emotion attached to it. Future can be imagined and
planned as it is yet to happen. So, we have the liberty.to think. It is our
choice. We have the choice to imagine positively. When we set our goal knitted
with the positive emotions, mind gets organised & work towards the goal.
So, here is my message!! Mind wanders in the absence of the
direction. Direction can be set by the goals.
Simple strategy:
Goals when knitted with the positive emotions give direction
to the mind. Single stream of thoughts set by the goal is contemplation
