Mind Facts, Insights, and Truths
Here are some facts, insights, and truths about the mind, its processes, and its power I have gathered from different resources. Like me, you might not even hear some of them until now. Enjoy!
Mind Trivias
Ø Most of us use less than only 10% of our brain potential although we have access to the rest. We use more than 10% when we have a moment of creativity and inspiration.
Ø The concept of a light bulb next to a person who have suddenly thought of an idea (in comic books, cartoons, or movies) came from Scientist Manuel Schoch’s research and observation - that when the brain is in a state of tranquility & observation, the brain lights up and we can access more information.
Ø Our mind is inherently complex and likes to complicate things. Whereas, much in life is simple or has a simple (obvious) solution. We often miss what's on our nose!
Ø Left and Right Brain Relationship:
- Left Brain - logical, male, west, scientific, grasping, conceptualizing, analytical
- Right Brain - emotional, female, east, intuitive, spatial, creative, artistic, receptive
Ø We have approximately 50,000 - 60,000 thoughts per day. Unfortunately, 95% of those thoughts we had today are the same ones we had yesterday! That would make only 5% of thoughts we think are new each day.
Ø Are you thinking about what you're thinking about? Read that sentence again and read it carefully. It's not a play on words.
Ø People can typically remember about 7 (±2) items in a random list.
Ø The mind is an iceberg; it floats with only 17 percent of its bulk above water - Sigmund Freud (1856 - 1939)
