5 reasons why you must NOT listen to your mind

Hello!! Good morning, well I keep mentioning this, but I cannot just stop. You know the best part of blogging on word press is that I do not feel a pressure to worry about who is reading it, specially when in your app group when you have friends and family. Trust me even those people feel pressure to like or comment on even if they do not feel like. And few of them share and comment to validate their existence. I do get and catch the sense of the activity I see on apps, well not to brag but have practiced psychology for a while now, and I claim its accuracy because most of it is practiced on me. And my mothers favourite quote in gujarati ” kagla toh badhej kada hoye”… meaning the crows in any place, country town are going to look similar.

Today when I was preparing my breakfast, a mindful breakfast which was a cup of black coffee and a butter toast.

I realised, it is not something I crave for and not to forget that at the same time I was cooking for my husband. What was it that kept me motivated to continue to eat the food I was given while I was working on my weight loss? This inquiry could be for every one in different areas. For instance people who are consistent in home making, walking, running, dancing or any kind of interest.

Well the idea is simple yet so difficult. It is complicated that you mind always tells you to choose and do things that you crave for or day feeds for dopamine or makes you feel good. well sure we all want that right? but at the cost of making choices that might not be elevating our soul and nourishing body. I used to think I am food and my emotions however they were I use to celebrate by eating. Like I literally could not sit still. if watching tv eat, if happy eat , if nervous eat, if free – eat, if getting bored – eat. And that cost me 20kgs plus.

SO here are 5 reasons why I avoid to listen to my mind:Mind will always influence me to be in my own comfort: Like your own mind would not want to hurt you right? it is only pleases you by highlight what gives you comfort and feel good for a while. (when you do so, it will cost you health, no growth and money)Mind will give you options from what already works for you. It would never want to put you in a challenging situation. Mind will show you illusive happiness that looks good for now, but it will take you away from reality.Mind will tell you that you need to eat sweet (and brain will picture brownie, cakes, chocolates and so on) but it was tell you what your body actually need. May be it only needs sweet from fruits. NEVER NEVER WILL PICTURE FRUITS but cakes. try thisIf you are committed to grow in all areas of life, you need to do opposite of what you mind says, it would not be wrong to listen to you heart something. TRY THIS.It looked impossible but I did it.

Knowing although makes no difference unless it is practiced or implemented in life. Initially it took so much of me to be able to wear this discipline and add in my new mindful lifestyle. This is how I did it.

I chose things opposite to what my mind offered and that simply worked. I now know what I do not want at least and that is certainly leading me in the direction I want to go.

It is not today but our mind moulds as per the environment we live in and thoughts and values we were fed as a child. And continuously life experience that we keep adding in our little bucket. So do not worry, if you chose to transform there are opportunities that you can grab still.

It is never too late

Have a good one
