Humans are the best thinkers. No other creation can think like humans. That is the source of their power because their development is tremendously remarkable. But on the other hand, humans can overthink, making their lives miserable. If somebody does wrong to you, it is their deeds, not yours. When you react to that behavior now, it counts your deeds. You have the power to change your behavior, not theirs. If you allow yourself to take their behavior, you will continuously think about it, and you will make your karmic account heavy, and it will become your destiny, and you might have a physical sickness. If you have a genetic memory of sadness, a traumatic situation, or depleting your energy, then it might harm you subconsciously, but you can change it. You are human; you have the power to win the war within yourself. You need to figure out the trigger and remove the harmful radiation. Again, you need to recognize what you already allow from people; taking everything personally is sickness. Proper knowledge, the right direction, the right activity, and the right surroundings can help you live well.
Humans are the best creation of Allah. The best creation of form, color, height, beauty, and strength compared to Allah’s other creatures. The most important thing is that humans can do anything, be anything, and create anything. Why? Humans are created in three things: 1. Allah’s Soul, 2. Balance, 3. Dirt (Grounded power): Humans have the instrument (body), background (family and genes), unlimited potential for power from outside, inside skills, and an automation system. Humans have power over any animal or other creation.
Some humans can be adopted from the database (thought) to make themselves like a chameleon. They can easily copy others, pretend others, and be like others. The human system already has this character, but some can unlock this system. The Chameleon Effect is when the mind unconsciously mimics things like behavior, posture, facial expression, and mannerisms of someone else in their social environment.
Why did I raise this topic to write? Good Question. Some people can mimic sick people, and become sick; some mimic positive people and become positive; some mimic excellence and become excellence. We all mimic those in different different areas. As I discussed, this application is already in our system, but some unlock some levels, some less. You know what can be best for you or worse for you. Through my experiences with humans, I deeply understand that something strange comes to mind. What human cannot do? When I see the surroundings, I realize nothing humans can’t do. Humans can do everything. Humans can change, but some bases can stay with us. The important thing is that everything is temporary except for change. Change is permanent. Change can be good, bad, complete, or transformation, depending on your goal and purpose in life.
Humans have the most power in the overall creation process. Humans can think that it is the most potent substance. The soul lives in the instrument called the body and thought comes from inside and outside the world. How you diet your thought food is essential for overall health. Our negative thoughts come from the sources of the outside world, where it needs its limit to enter the inside universe. One story we as humans take a different way because of the experiences, tastes, and expressions we had before. Is there any thought conditioning we had before? If the answer is yes, we need to debug from our system. How? Limit social media and news; the benefit of limitation is getting out of the traffic on our thought road. We are the most powerful creation from the creator. So, we must understand that consuming too much food is terrible for one’s health and that too much information is also wrong for brain health. The bug always bothers us and irritates our thoughts with adverse conditions. Evil creatures bother us with the conditioning that we already have.
Solution: Read your Holy book, Meditate daily, Read good books, limit your intake of junk food and too much information, go to nature, and choose your friends wisely.
Why does it happen? As women, somehow, my physical and mental challenges occur for a long or short time, and I completely do not understand my real me. I deeply analyze the answer. The mood depends on the internal or outside situation; it does not produce by myself. So, the tendencies from the fact are not conscious, which can define the unreal vs. real me; it just happens. It is playing inside the brain where it needs to put the information to utilize where not. I read Dr. van der Kolk’s book because I like to “troubleshoot” myself and take proactive action to fix whatever needs fixing. The results were a mixed bag, and I’m learning that this is one area in which I need to be patient and, more critically, gentle with myself. When you understand the inner trauma or outside the terms of the ugliest truth, the process of stretching the mind can be handled. The actual me understands the whole process consistent with the belief.
“I am in faulty and inaccurate mood” – What does it mean? Emotional Distortion and Mental Filtering. Life gives us continuous reverses, drawbacks, and challenges. Life doesn’t know your capacity to adapt or accept the reversals. You know you and your weaknesses and strengths. You know better than you. Somebody gives you advice that is good for you but remembers that it does fit with your capacity, then accept it mentally. If you are a beginner runner, you cannot run 5 miles a day. You need a baby step with the 100 feet first to catch the 5 miles flow with everyday practice. We people quickly label others with some circumstances. But we are not what we act in the situations; situations do not mark our characteristics. Act in different situations; people understand you differently, not accurately you. Our brain records everything, every moment, every expression, and it will come up sometimes to feel upset; you need to understand the healing process. The healing process is that thoughts are contingent; they come from your five senses, seeing, feeling, smelling, and touching something you have already experienced.
What i am talking about, cognitive distortions are negative or irrational patterns of thinking. These negative thought patterns can play a role in diminishing your motivation, lowering your self-esteem, and contributing to problems like anxiety, depression, and substance use. Anyone can experience cognitive distortion, which the American Psychological Association defines as “faulty or inaccurate thinking, perception or belief.” Negativity is often the defining characteristic. For some of us, distorted thinking is a momentary blip. We get upset when we fail a math test. But math test does not define your intellectuality. Here is based on your concentration, interest, ability to mindset, etc. Sometimes you are upset because you think what people said to you, you are not what people said. Because people see you in a different situation where you act based on the creating situation, you may use your action without knowledge or experiences or with experiences. The experiences you are feeling may be in a different mood at that time.
If childhood trauma is the reason for your mental distortion of emotional unhealthiness at some point. Fix your inner child. Hug your inner child, and say, Don’t worry, I am here to be with you, come, come from the cage, give you freedom, take care of you. You are safe in my hand. Don’t feel lonely and untidy. I will be with you forever, and you will be a tidy and smiley child” Your inner child will listen to you. And, you must keep practicing every day until you feel accepted in your past.
Why do we think only of the surface palace of the human mind because it is easy to imitate by appearance? Or we do not waste time getting into it. We may use a stoic mentality, but it is not to be defined to be stoic. Ultimately, it is nothing. The reason we need to be busy is to imitate the sound behind the pain. The true understanding is to motivate the inner mind when it is foggy. We do not know when and what we are doing and why. We do not question ourselves. The clear purpose of life makes life more meaningful, but a foggy mind can make foggier and drizzle the thought to be shattered. And, it is not romantic!
“There is a need to…mover from a reductionist, a temporal, disembodied, static, rationalist, emotion- and culture-free view, to fundamentally richer understandings that include the primacy of action, intention, emotion, culture, real-time constraints, real-world opportunities, and the peculiarities of living bodies.” [ Freeman & Nunez, 1999,p.ix]
The reaction is faster than action. A silent mode can create the holiday of working pattern, and we become sick of the creating environmental arena.
Muscular movement is not properly working when it should be granted for the outside pitch. Think out of the box is common metaphor we all know but we believe out of what we see, what we hear and what we believe. We have to understand our brain capacity; we have to dance with our mind. We need to reuse our depth of mind then we can achieve what we want and what we need to want actually.
Building up visualization muscle helped do this more efficiently. Admittedly, there are times when still catch subvocalizing. Sometimes need to read slowly, such as when reading conceptually dense material that is new. Developing “visualization muscle” played a key role in helping me become a more flexible reader. Memory seemed to improve even its using the techniques. It became easier to take “mental snapshots” of images and to convert ideas I am thinking or reading about into pictures or symbols. For knowledge workers, perhaps the highest leverage use of this visualization muscle is for beginning projects with the end in mind. Not all displays are created equal, and the best visualizations are the ones that generate the most efficient actions toward project completion. If at the end of each day, you can reflect on the day’s activities and honestly detect progress toward your goal, then you are on the right track. Over time, through additional trial and error, you may find that you can refine y our visualizations to further enhance their effectiveness.
