Research has estimated that the average person thinks sixty thousand thoughts on average per day. As many as ninety-eight percent of our thoughts are lingering from the previous day. This fact is both highly interesting and powerfully shocking.
“We are what we are and are where we are because of what has gone in our mind.” – Zig Ziglar
Mind inventory
In the ever-changing world we live in today, which is overly saturated with information, distractions, and entertainment, we must be on high alert. We need to frequently visit our mind's inventory to see what is helping or hindering us. Our thinking, as we know, has a direct impact on our external world at large. I would compare this to an inventory of a refrigerator. If we take a look inside our own refrigerator, is it serving us in a productive and healthy way, or is it full of unhealthy food choices? Having good food choices available allows our bodies to be properly fueled with the right nutrients, which in turn makes us feel good and empowered in our days. Take bad food choices, which can under-serve our body's demands and, in turn, make us feel sluggish, unmotivated, and even mentally disempowered.
Mind adjustment
Taking inventory can lead to decisions and help us make the right adjustments as needed. As creatures of habit and patterns, we must be aware and make sure we are setting ourselves up mentally to thrive and continue upward thinking. Sometimes, our brain may get stuck in a jam and need a completely different routine. Self-talk counts, as what we say about ourselves, we start to believe subconsciously, and that runs on its own program. I would suggest making sure we are giving our minds a renewed program to avoid stagnation. Why not continuously update and challenge our minds to see new and exciting opportunities that can be right in front of us? An example I can use is a sports team. The format of a sports team includes a set of players and coaches. During a game, there are times when a coach calls time-outs when they notice a bad pattern or strategy that is failing and needs adjustment. Sometimes, we need a time-out to look at and analyze our minds to see if they are failing us or if our mindset strategy needs adjustment.
Heart connects to mind
The link between our hearts and minds is that every day, they are constantly sending signals of information, such as through our nervous system, how we respond to stress, and hormones, to name a few. A positive and common thing we all can do, taking into account some limitations and accessibility, is exercise. Being physically active can help us strengthen both our minds and bodies.
I feel the world frequently forgets that the mind is constantly sending daily signals to the body, and vice versa. Exercising allows for great feedback by releasing the “feel-good” endorphins, which are known to boost confidence, well-being, and the drive to accomplish goals in life.
Signs and signals
Let's remember the heart and mind connection and how we think truly shapes our reality. We can renew and replenish both by being intentional about checking our inventory and making sure we keep the positive and get rid of the negative. I believe everyone has the power to take their life and shape it to their unique custom needs. Ultimately, changing these signals we send won’t be as easy as we would like, but it’s worth the time and investment for a better future ahead.
Powerful and mindful quotes
“Whether you think you can or can’t, you’re right.” – Henry Ford
“I never lose, I either win or learn.” – Nelson Mandela
“Nothing is impossible, the word itself says I’m possible.” – Audrey Hepburn
“Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of only standing still.” – Chinese Proverb
Conclusion
The connections we personally build between our hearts and minds are powerful, and we are either weakening them or strengthening them by our daily habits, beliefs, and emotions. From what we think, eat, and do on a daily basis, we should keep this at the top of our personal daily audit list. In today’s climate, it is becoming perhaps the most challenging it’s ever been, yet we still have the power to keep our mind and heart connection strong and renewed. Let’s stay mindful and be more intentional about all our endeavors, knowing we are subconsciously setting a connection with each thought and decision we make.
