The Incredible Human Mind
A
healthy mind in a healthy body is alert and interested in the world around us.
It absorbs information, produces ideas, copes with problems and runs the body
smoothly. Does the mind physically exist? How it is capable of influencing the body,
are some of the questions discussed for a long while.
Though
the mind is not a part of the physical body but it is connected to the brain –
the mind is just the activities of the billions of nerve cells in our brain.
The
mind thinks about everything including feelings and knowledge. It has the
amazing capacity to divide its consciousness into an activity that is being
performed and planning an event for a later time. In the 20th
century Psychologist Sigmund Freud mentioned that apart from conscious thoughts
and feelings people also had unconscious memories and desire that were hidden
or suppressed for various reasons. Freud thought that that the unconscious part
of the mind influenced the personality of the individual. His famous
Psychoanalysis technique reveals the unconscious thoughts.
The
mind is emerging from the brain – a very delicate organ of the human body,
needs to be taken care of as the tissues of the brain do not repair themselves
when damaged. The mind is responsible in keeping your spirits high, feeling
moody, fears and phobias and the ability to cope with stress.
In
order to stay healthy a person needs to take care of the body and mind.
A
healthy mind can cope with stressful situations by providing a practical and
appropriate solution to the problems. Unhappiness and depression are often
associated with lack of purpose and loneliness and are signs of concern.
In
order to remain mentally remain healthy and active, connect with family and
friends keep learning and most important is to have a positive attitude with a
positive sense of wellbeing.
