Hello Friends,welcome to my world. I'll like to share with you on one of my favorite topics and less understood topic by people.
The Mind is a set of cognitive faculties including consciousness, perception, thinking, judgement, language and memory. It is usually defined as the faculty of an entity's thoughts and consciousness. The mind is located in a Man's soul(the soul is the seat of a mans consciousness).
MIND AND THE BRAIN
Quite interestingly,there's been a lot of controversies,arguments and debates on difference between the brain and the mind. I'll like to clarify this issue,The brain is three pounds of “convoluted mass of gray and white matter” in our heads “serving to control and coordinate mental and physical actions.”
OK. Now, define the mind. Not as easy, eh?! You may be surprised to find that there is no single, agreed upon definition of the mind. The psychiatric, mental health and medical professions each have their own functional definitions. Equally surprising to me is that, by default, a healthy mind is generally thought of as one with the absence of any symptoms of mental illness. Really? I would hope it can get better than that.
Dr. Daniel Siegel , a professor of psychiatry at UCLA school of Medicine, co-director of the UCLA Mindfulness Awareness Research Center, executive director of the Mindsight Institute and author of several books, teaches the concept of the Triangle of Well-Being to depict optimal mental health. He developed this into the field of study which has become known as interpersonal neurobiology. Interpersonal neurobiology weaves together research from many disparate fields to form a framework of mental health based on the commonalities.
Mind and Character(Personality Construct)
The Bible says in the book of Proverbs," as He(man) thinketh in his heart,so is he". The state of your mind influences the quality of your character. Your attitude,manner,response to situations and pattern of speech is a clear cut reflection of the state and contents of your mind.
I'll like you to understand that ,you are no different as regards the afore-mentioned aspects than the files that make up the construct of your mind.
So if people complain about your personality(character) or you realise that there are just somethings you want to change about your life,don't go looking too far,all you have to do is work on your mind!
On my next post i will share with you on how to renovate your mind. See you soon!
