As psychologists continuously turn focus to positive thinking, researches have been showing that positivity has significant effect, that it can support us flourish in life challenges.
A good weekend. And the power of the mind caught up. Whilst adrift in one of my favourite local news agencies shop, there was this interesting motivational book that caught my eye. This small but quite contained news shop often sell 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 these ways of unleashing the powers of the mind?
The authors suggest 8 ways in easy and enjoyable ways:
- Remember names, faces, places, and ideas
- Control the details of your life
- Learn more, and absorb it more easily
- Make wise decisions
- Think your way through emotionally charged situations
- Keep your brain healthy
- Learn to love change
- 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.
Good tips. Guess what I've been musing about whilst browsing the book? How I can age properly by managing the power of my mind.
