power of the mind

This right here is the icing on the cake...with beautiful candles lit...creamy spongy chocolate feeling..... topping my number one list of inventions. Evolution and revolutions are and will always be the result of this creation. From a neutral point of view, to those atheists, agnostics and freethinkers, whats your take on these? How was this sublime invention created? Just curious..

We are so often made to think,act, speak and simply conform to the basic challenges human's undergo. Everything you are doing right this very second are all responses from various parts of your brain.Its amazing how each and every tissue affects our reaction at the very next second......like right now. Lets forget about the common left and right brain theory , here's something relatively less popular, our limbic and cortical brain. While L and R relates to our IQ, this generates our EQ

Limbic Brain

Emotions and memory
determines experiences to be stored for the long term
powerful enough to override conscious thoughts

Cortical Brain

complex
analysis and interpretation
creativity

Emotional Hijacking - The Amygdala Factor

A very interesting theory I came about. Wonder why sometimes we regret an act we committed seconds ago, maybe going off at someone, even a sudden kiss and if anger get the best of you, it can even drive you to do things you never imagined. Some fears that we developed at childhood are the bearing of this hijacks, for example, I am dead scared of cockroaches, yeah since my toddler years if I remember well (well not really scared, more to disgusted..hehe.)

There is an escape link though, this hijack can only biologically lasts for 6 seconds. This is how it hijacks, so be aware:

1. A trigger: a catalyst that generates an impulse
2. A strong emotion (anger, fear etc.)
3. An instant, impulsive and irrational reaction that is
inappropriate to the situation (the reaction need not
be overt)
4. A subsequent feeling of regret or embarrassment

So yes, there is a biological explanation for everything bodily accept miracles of course if you believe in them or even if you are another of my favorite , House M.D, its fine as well. Avoiding the hijacking is perhaps an alternative, always be aware of when and where it can strike. Proper preventive measures will leave you in control of your emotions at periods you wish you had....exp. get out of the situation and take some time to think...

Well so much for the brain..mines getting tired..Well heres something to ponder and laugh upon. How true this one is, just depends on you....:P
