Look Past the Limits

As far as New Years resolutions go, is inspiring yourself and your mind on the list? I bet you did not even think about it. To be able to live to the fullest, we need to understand how our most important asset even works. The brain is a complicated organ and we have not even begun to understand just how complex it is and the depth of what it can do. Without it we cannot function, so it is amazing just how many people go about their lives just ignoring and not cultivating it. So you may be asking just how it is possible to do so. No amount of mobile application development is going to replace the actual work that you would have to do to inspire your mind. Take care of stress. Avoid dulling routine. Do something creative every day. Read poetry, spiritual material or anything else that makes you feel uplifted. Take time to be in nature. Bond with another person who is heartwarming. Pay attention to being happy. Make sure you take time every day by yourself to relax, meditate and self-reflect. Deal with negative emotions like anger and anxiety. Focus on activity that makes you feel fulfilled. Give of yourself. Follow a personal vision. Attach yourself to a cause that is bigger than you are. Take the risk to love and be loved. And the way that people ignore their minds: Get set in your ways. Don't look beyond your opinions, likes and dislikes. Isolate yourself from others. Take relationships for granted. Reconcile yourself to going downhill as you age. Look upon the past as the best time of your life. Forget about having ideals. Act on selfish impulses. Don't examine what makes you tick. Give in to anger and anxiety. Let life take care of itself. Go along to get along. Assume that you are automatically right. Avoid anything new or challenging. Put up with stress. Take no emotional risks. Distract yourself with mindless diversions like watching sports for hours on end. The first step in forming a better relationship with your brain is to realize that you have a relationship. Once you realize this, you can choose to pay attention to the relationship and nurture it. You are in on a secret that escapes countless people. Take advantage of it.
