Hello and welcome back to my weekly thoguhts
Today I want to talk about the power of your mind
I'm sure everyone knows what the mind can accomplish, advancements in technology, art, culture, and many other things have come about because of the mind, it's got an incredible ability to adapt. But sometimes you don't realize the effect it's having on you right now.
I'm often tricked by my own mind, simply because I want something really bad I somehow end up believing I'll get it one day if I stay strong, even when logic would disagree, is that hope maybe?
And even when I catch myself in thoughts like that I still fall victim to false hope sometimes, it makes it absolutely clear that how you feel about something and how you understand it can be very different, and it's when you believe in how you feel about something rather than the reality that this can get dangerous.
It's also a very useful trait we're given though, the ability to adapt and survive under many conditions. Somehow after you've done something for a while familiarity can sink in and you'll grow used to it, even if you really didn't like it at first.
It's my belief that a certain amount of unease will always lie within you if you truly disklike your situation, but the ability to shift the focus of the mind and change your perspective, that can really effect your feelings and make the reality more bearable.
That's all this week, thanks for reading, have a wonderful day.
