MIND: WANDERING
Mind wanders in the absence of the direction.

Thought & physical reality:
Random thoughts:
Today, we enjoy & experience in the
physical reality many such things as
mobile phone, house, car etc. Earlier,
these were then just in the form of
thoughts or imaginations in someone
mind. Our thoughts or imaginations that
we have in this present time will
manifest physically as things or products
in near future. An intense thought or an
idea in the mind will turn into an
innovative product in future. Such is the
power of thoughts from the mind.
Imagine the thoughts are not cohesive in
nature? We all have this experience in
our daily life. No one is an exception to
this experience. Only, the time &
duration of this experience vary from
person to person. When the thoughts are
not cohesive and random in nature then
we call that experience as “mind
wandering”. If you open up the books of
neuroscience, this is referred to as
“Default network” of the brain.
Reason:
Why we switch to this random mode?
Let us understand the characteristics of
the mind. Mind always revolve around a
centre point which is nothing but your
important, interesting and significant
idea. When you don’t have this, your
mind loses its centre point. You can
always witness this behaviour of the
mind especially in a scenario where you
have nothing important to do. This is a
right opportunity for the mind to roam
around.
Every thought is an electric impulse in
the brain. Now, the technology has
evolved to an extent where one can able
to read this signal from the brain. So,
thought is a form of energy. If we
generate random thoughts then we
waste our energy. In fact, brain alone
consumes 20% of the total energy.
Organised thoughts:
Organised thoughts occur when there is
a strong presence of the centre point. If
the centre point is based on negative
emotions such as fear and worries then
the thoughts are organised but work in a
negative way. When the centre point is
based on the positive emotion then the
thoughts are again organised but work in
a positive way.
So, it is not only important to have a
centre point but make sure that it has a
positive emotion attached to it. Future
can be imagined and planned as it is yet
to happen. So, we have the liberty.to
think. It is our choice. We have the choice
to imagine positively. When we set our
goal knitted with the positive emotions,
mind gets organised & work towards the
goal.
So, here is my message!! Mind wanders
in the absence of the direction. Direction
can be set by the goals.
Simple strategy:
Goals when knitted with the positive
emotions give direction to the mind.
Single stream of thoughts set by the goal
is contemplation.
Mind wanders in the absence of
the direction.
Direction can be set by the goals.
Simple strategy: Goals when
knitted with the positive
emotions give direction to the
mind. Single stream of thoughts
set by the goal is contemplation.
