As psychologists continuously turn focus to positive thinking, researches have been showing that positivity has significant effect, that it can support us flourish in all areas of life.
A good weekend. And the power of the mind caught up. Whilst adrift in one of my favourite local news agency shops, there was this interesting motivational book that caught my eye. This small but quite contained news shop often sells remainder books piled on top the other in a tiny corner of the store. Any avid reader would want to dig in when the price is right.
The back precis of a particular book caught my attention, enough to scribble down the practical way to unleash the powers of the mature mind. The book is The Forever Mind with authors, Priscilla Donovan and J. Wonder. In the end, I decided to buy the copy, and for almost 80% discount of the recommended price, why not.
What are the ways to unleash the powers of the mind?
The authors suggest 8 ways to unleash the powers of one's mature mind in easy and enjoyable ways. That is, we need to inculcate the following, at least try to.
1. Remember names, faces, places, and ideas
2. Control the details of your life
3. Learn more, and absorb it more easily
4. Make wise decisions
5. Think your way through emotionally charged situations
6. Keep your brain healthy
7. Learn to love change
8. Have more fun by pursuing your passions.
They make sense. Hindsight, other things and abilities may change as we age, but it's up to each of us to take the proper steps to work on those that we can still harness to keep us strong, a matter of taking advantage of whatever powers are still available in our minds.
I want to age properly. With unfinished things I love to do waiting to be done, these tips comes handy in ways I can control my mind's power.
