Understanding the Human Mind

It’s time to put that misconception to rest. As humans, we have evolved to use nearly 100 percent of the brain’s power. The one thing standing in the way of better thinking and a more powerful ideation process is time. We live in a rushed, fast-paced world. We deal with dozens of things every single day, which keep us from slowing down and taking the time to think. Once you slow down to think, however, you’ll discover that you’re capable of amazing ideas and creative problem-solving. Exploring your mind goes way beyond the function of your brain. There are outside influences, time constraints and thought patterns resulting from past experiences. In fact, thoughts themselves have the power to change the way in which the human mind works.It all is very complex and scientists are still working to discover exactly how thoughts are born and what goes on inside our bodies when we get creative or analytical.Buddha described the human mind as a group of drunken monkeys, all of them jumping, screeching and chatting. Of all those monkeys, fear is the loudest but it can be tamed through the right practices.So, what does it take to unleash the full potential of your mind and gain control over your thought process?Many think that thoughts are sub-conscious and they appear out of nowhere in our heads. This doesn’t have to be the case if you adopt the principles of slow thinking.  3
