How your thoughts can distort reality

This may be the most powerful lesson out there and most of us need to learn this lesson the hard way to ever fully understand it. The human mind is the most complex thing we know of in this universe; since it maintains all of the information an individual believes to be true, has experienced and is constantly processing information. Our thoughts and feelings are all feedback we receive from stimulus around us. All of this is translated into our brain which attempts to understand this stimulus through thought. All of these offer technical aspects play out in our thoughts based on our identity and natural impulses and how we over our life taught our brain how to react. This means everything, we understand has already been through this process in our brains.

To further understand this, consider you’re on a roller-coaster as the cart slowly reaches the peak. Your brain will process the information on how high you may be from the ground and the sensations of the moving coaster. As thoughts race, sensations of anxiety and fear or illness may appear. Possible you have never been so high before in your life, or you have seen media sources of horrific accidents that have taken place or even admiring the heights. These all play a role on how things are perceived, what you pay attention to and your current emotions. Something as simple as going on a roller-coaster, can be whatever your mind would make it to be.

Those of us out there, who spend a lot of time in thought don’t recognise how the rinse cycle of thoughts we have effect our reactions and emotions to everything in life. It’s not that our own minds are the enemy corrupting thing for good or for bad, it’s the routine of thought we put our brain through. Curtain toxic thought we recite in our brain or memories we associate with our actions can all effect the way our thought work and the emotions which occur. In some theses thought can be positive reminders and some can be negative. An example could be simply wiping the kitchen desktop before cooking, frustrations on how it may seem that nobody in the house cleans after themselves can make your day a little bit more difficult. Yet it is how your deal with those thought that can turn the nuisance into a dilemma which can effects interactions in the house.

There are multiple remedies for theses recurring thoughts, either in this example confronting those people your frustrated with. Or remaining present and enjoying the moment. Thinking positive thoughts. Or expressing the emotion in song, dance or writing. Adding mediation to your daily life which will clear those thought out. Depending on how your mind works, picking which of these tasks to conduct vary. But it will all lead to a new awareness gained in life. Retraining the mind to avoid difficult emotions and for your and to be more present in the moment.

One additional thing I want to make clear, is that the brain is not the enemy. Simply avoiding bad things in life cannot change the thoughts. Yet simply spending time to be more conscious throughout life can make a key difference to how things play out.
