HAPPY MINDS TO JOYFUL LIVING - TAMING THE BEAST

 HAPPY MINDS TO JOYFUL LIVING - TAMING THE BEAST We have looked in our previous blogs, what is the apt relationship to maintain with our mind ? and why we need to maintain so?. In the current blog we look at, what is commonly referred to as the chatter of the mind. MIND'S CHATTER TO MINDFULNESS We talked about the constant information pounding of the mind, What does this result in ? More information being stored and memory links forming over time. One of the major consequences of this is the amplification of the existing chatter in the mind. CHATTER or THOUGHTS Until now we have not touched upon the subtle aspect of the mind which is the "thoughts". The seemingly unorganized and repeated thoughts and it pattern's are generally referred to as the chatter. Everyone hears, see them for themselves and understands what is going on. The inner voice is a constant companion, never fixed ever changing, moving from one extreme to another. Like it or not constantly going on. An ...

HAPPY MIND AND JOYFUL LIVING - MIND AND ACTIONS


HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING - MIND AND ACTIONS.

In the last blog we looked at emotions, it links to the mind and emotional intelligence. In the current blog we shall touch upon the links between mind and the actions that we carry out. Broadly we look into the inner actions and outer actions of the mind.

Actions



Outward Actions

In the current social scenario action is looked upon as one of the most desired qualities in a person. By action people are referring to the outward activities performed by a person. This action can vary from the mundane to "Mission to Mars". The reference to mundane tasks involves like hearing music and numerous other similar tasks. In all type of activities there is involvement of the mind.

From large corporations to individual business owners, we often find the term "work culture", "employee well being" given priority and attention. These large corporations and business owners understand the importance of having people with the right mind set, attitude and approach to work. So mind plays a crucial aspect in the actions we undertake. Getting this wrong has negative consequences for the business and corporations.

Even when it comes to personal relationships our quality of our actions are primarily determined by the type of mind we carry. Its a well established fact the action seems effortless when people involved have a healthy and a happy mindset and outlook.

Action the King - The madness

Action has gained so much importance that , in certain groups/societies even the worth of the individual is measured by it ! It's a badge of honor to carry around show the breadth and depth of action an individual is involved in. The term "Rest" is viewed up as a no no. 

Action as an escape 

Now a days actions are being used as a tool to escape from the constant chatter of the mind, for the mind and by the mind. We can observe people unable to sit quietly for a minute or two, they need some form of action that keeps the mind busy, a distraction to be blunt.

Action as a tool for control

It's come to a point where certain actions have be classified as exclusive, and only capable of being executed efficiently by a few group of people. Its painful to see these ideas being propagated. Its against the natural quality of the mind which loves to explore and learn. The beauty is everyone can explore and learn if the necessary intent, will and skill are developed.

Action and Artificial Intelligence

One of the heartful things to see is as artificial intelligence grows and evolves it breaks the set stereo types, that action and execution excellency by genetic makeup or by any other man made classification. One the other hand chances are high for increased rates of more mental depression amongst individuals that have overly identified themselves to the action they perform.



Inner Action

We touched upon briefly the intent and the will of the mind earlier. As general sciences are focused more on the outward actions, there are internal actions too. Intention, will, thoughts are a few pointers  that we can list, that reflect the inner actions happening in the mind.

Why does inner action matter?

Like it or not, the quality with which we perform any outward action, invariably ends up reflecting the inner actions the mind is involved in. Outcomes of same actions performed in anger, fear and joy are not the same. Yet very little is spoken about the inner actions of the mind and dismissed as mind's chatter.

Diving deep into what is this chatter, where, why and how it happens is one of the primary and a necessary step an individual needs to take for a healthy mind and healthy living. This is more relevant in the current info age we live in,  as we are constantly pounding the mind with more more information each and every day.

I feel this blog is not the apt place to discuss more about mind and its chatter. Anyway let us take actions that create a beautiful mind and a beautiful place to live in.

Human mind - An exploration

Mind matters - An exploration of the human mind Exploration The term exploration is used to indicate an intense search of the mind, its functions, its impact, and other facets. Why Explore ? Why not ? In current times, with the advent of the Internet and social media, the availability and accessibility of information are increasing worldwide. The mind is the only tool we use to process the vast amount of information to which we are regularly exposed. The impact that this vast pool of information has on the mind has a direct relationship with the quality of life we lead. The impact of this vast ocean of information on the human mind is rarely openly discussed. Who should explore? Over the course of many inventions, it has been proven that the usage of the invention comes first, and the impact of the inventions takes a back seat. The internet and social media inventions (if we can take the liberty to call them as such !) is no different. We are not even talking about the new beast, Ar...

HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING - Emotional Intelligence & Mind

HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING  - Emotional Intelligence & Mind. In our last blog we looked at words, memory links and triggers. In this blog let's explore what is emotion, the link between emotion and mind generally referred to as emotional intelligence and the best way to explore them. Mind and Emotions The experience of life is enriched by the type of emotions we carry. Highly contrasting emotions are triggered within us, while meeting a sweet dumb person or a prickly intelligent person. The emotions which we project and which we are subjected to invariably decide the quality of our life experience. What are Emotions ? Creatures await, the cosmic song and dance, with roaring sounds and piercing lights, to breaks the deep dark silence hanging above. Many colorless drops of lives follow, travelling miles from sky to earth, to nourish the longing creatures below. Another deep red river flows up and down in silence, nourishing the flesh and bones. It dances to a two pace tune, of a...

HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING - Mind your words - Interpretation

HAPPY MIND TO JOYFUL LIVING -  Mind your words - Interpretation In our previous blog we looked at what type of relationship we need to nurture with our mind for the times we live in. In the current and upcoming blogs we look at the aspects of the mind which are deeply personal in nature. Words and its Interpretation It is often said that one of the gifts that distinguishes Humans from animals is the gift of speech and smile. Many times I find myself preoccupied and wondering how communication would happen with the other person if there were no words or languages ? May be communication happens through signs, symbols or through sounds but what would we communicate to the other person? Information, links and memory In present times with the vast information available to us in different forms (words, pictures, videos, animations, etc.) we are constantly exposed to this information and our mind keeps adding this information as memory, in addition to that it builds links to the stored m...
