I am writing this article to post on Linkedin. I'd like to share with the group of professionals that are interested in mind expansion. I need it to be relatable, engaging and thought-provoking. I need it to be well structured, logical, coherent and actionable. Please review and revise. Use appropriate subheadings. Check spelling, punctuation and grammar. Use British spellings. End it with a brilliant call of action. Do not change the meaning or intent. If you have any further question before you proceed, ask. here's the draft. The Power of a Disciplined Mind & How to Thrive
DeepSeek or ChatGPT, that is the question we are often asked about the most reliable or ethical generative AI. It's true that generative AI is making waves for good reasons but despite their capabilities, they don't measure up to our potential. Never mind that debate. Did you know you have the most powerful computer between your two ears? You read it right, let me repeat again "you have the most powerful computer between your two ears" If you are struggling now, whatever the nature of that challenge, I am confident your mind has a big role to play in it. Our mind can be our ally or our worst enemy. Whether you know how the mind works or not is irrelevant, the mind does what the mind does but it doesn't have to be that way. If you want to leverage the power of your mind, you need to get it on a good diet. Not just the food you do, though important but the words, environment, thoughts, etc you feed to it. Here's the thing, our mind is not very good at discriminating. It focuses on your dominant thoughts. If you are always surrounding yourself or speaking a certain way, the mind takes it as that's your way and amplifies it. It's like when you go to YouTube and watch your favourite cat video, then YouTube assumes you love cats and you know what follow next. It feeds you lots of cat video. Granted that is a bit simplistic but I hope you get the point. So how do you leverage your mind superpower to achieve your goals?
1 - Communicate with it: Make sure your mind hears you. Speak to it about the things you desire but also spend some time to understand what the mind functions are and what it cares about just as you would when talking to your best friend. If you are interested in understanding how the mind works and its function do more research or drop a comment below to express your interest.
2 - Be clear about what you desire: Have a very good understanding of what you desire. Write it down, talk about it until it is very clear causing no doubt. Don't second guess, know it inside out. This might require you to do some research. I'd suggest you write it up and read it or if it's not too private have someone else read it. Refine until it is the very best it could be.
3 - Trust your mind: Once you have communicated your desire to your mind, resist the temptation of doubting what you are asking or seeking to accomplish. Believe that your mind will guide you where appropriate. Sometimes, the mind will draw your attention to something or to people or whatever you need. Don't try to figure out how it's going to do it, trust it. Let it be your guiding light.
4 - Resist everything else: When untrained, our mind is self-destructive. It finds problems when there is none. It asks us to relax when we know we could do more. Do not entertain any ideas or suggestions that are contrary to your desire. Anytime something comes to mind which is not remotely connected to your desire, fight it. You can do this by revisiting your desire or you can write for yourself a short affirmation. Focus the 'facts', they were formed by your old minds. Trust your new mind to figure it out.
Do this repeatedly and let your mind become your friend.
