Exploring the Mind.

It was not until I came across an interesting video explaining the roles of thought and learning that the importance of the mind became associated for me with the wellbeing of the body. The mind has a direct influence on the metabolic functioning of stem cells. Stem cells are capable of many different and important healing or regenerative purposes.

The major part of the mind is the subconscious and carries out learned programs. The smaller part of the mind is used for purposes that include creative, thinking and decision making. The point is if I allow my mind to dwell on the past, on an unhappy experience, this could increase stress and have a detrimental effect on my overall health.

The study of genes has intriguingly shown that not all hereditary illness will be definitively passed on to the next generation. In fact in certain instances it is more likely that influential lifestyle and healthy thinking practices can make a positive difference.

The mind and the body are linked in a much more dynamic configuration than I first thought. Understanding what useful programs are is the first step to reprogramming an unhealthy way of thinking. An example of this could be a habit of my subconscious mind to think I am not too well before there is any reason to believe that is really the case. Then I will have my subconscious mind influencing my thoughts instead of analysing how I really feel.

It can be useful to focus on what we do but more importantly how we do it. Even focusing on positive ways of prioritising and practising how we think can be a good way of promoting mental and physical wellbeing. Utilising my conscious mind to direct the unconscious habits of everyday life could mean taking control of my future and creating the opportunity for a better life.
