If we tune into ourselves just a little, we will see that we are synchronizing with everything and everyone all of the time. Turn yourself on and know that you did!
Humans have evolved to learn how to, not only observe our environments and respond, we have developed in a manner in which we can process potential outcomes before they occur. This is an evolutionary advantage that has propelled our species, Homosapien’s, within the animal kingdom. How we got here is key. But there is so much more!
The ability to forecast can become problematic at times, commonly is referred to as, mind-chatter or scattered thinking, and often mistaken as anxiety rather than a symptom of. It is like we continue to run our minds with fossils fuels, even though a rich, energy efficient option is always available. Learning how to work with our minds intimately and innately is instrumental to personal growth, which will resonate and permeate into all of our relationships and interactions.
Here are some terms to ponder:
· Cognitive Pattern: A series of conscious reasoning tactics which develop a sequence of cognitions, complete with reflective feelings, that loop back to original perceived problem.
o Key point: Guide conscious cognitive pattern into mindful awareness. * Essential to learning to counter.
· Pivot Points: A word, i.e. “but” or “however”, within a series of thoughts that appears while cognitively processing.
· Countering: The back-and-forth of thoughts, a tick-tock, “should I or shouldn’t I, that occurs naturally when cognitively processing a perceived problem or making a decision. Learning to counter helps to create a new cognitive pattern and helps the individual to weigh both possibilities to settle unsettled feelings. (Feelings drive thoughts, and thoughts drive behaviors).
The key to any relationship is emotional regulation and communication. However, when there is no deep, heartfelt communication, if there is an inability to regulate the emotional rise, we all experience the feeling of separation—detached in the moment. Learning to reconnect with the ourself and tune into the inner spirit (tactus), creates an internal connection which confirms your true inner security necessary to respond back into the environment (usually a person). This is the initial step to cognitively processing anything… effectively. Once the feeling is attuned and settled, we begin to reflect on and assess our thought processing skills by learning to use countering to uncover these cognitive patterns of reasoning. The result can be an experience of relief—reducing mind-chatter, while effectively utilizing forecasting as a strategy, rather then, a reality.
Hint: There is no replication. The outcome is what it is, or, the way or the Tao. What happens is that we learn more about how we have been rolling with it all along—sometimes stressful, sometimes depressed, sometimes filled with worry, and sometimes calmly. But if we tune into ourselves just a little, we will see that we are synchronizing with everything and everyone all of the time. This is so cheesy, but I am saying it anyhow, turn yourself on and know that you did!
