Games in our Minds

Since daddy worked abroad we were blessed with high technology toys and gadgets growing up.

I just remembered because every time I would drive and need to cross roads, my mind would automatically switch to game mode! Lol!

You see, I used to love this Chicken Crossing The Road Game using ATARI then. I would control the chicken's movement so it wouldn't get killed while crossing, the chicken needs to walk past 4 lanes to get a score -mmm, to get the worm at the other side!

So,  just to make a connection, it could be that when we are constantly faced with the same challenges everyday, even via online games, we also subconsciously get to actualize it. It no longer matters if it's just a game or the real thing, we react the same to it!

The point is REPETITION, VISUALIZATION and MIND CONDITIONING may actually work especially in achieving our goals or achieving our dreams.

What do you really want? If, say, we really want to become a millionaire... then we may set up situations where in we could become one. Train our minds to act, to see, to talk, to walk, to speak, to hear, to listen, to move like one.. and then maybe it could happen, in time.

If we want to build our own business someday and become a business tycoon, there are online games available which may prepare us to become one!

A good experiment, but see, it is more on training of our minds to THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX and right here, right now, experience life like we wanted it.

Scary too, because many people want to play war games.. I mean, what are we training our minds into? - killing? destroying?, it may just be a game but it's like programming our minds to something bigger.

Who knows, it may not just be a game or illusion, but our own reality.  (At least in specific areas, in our minds!)

I hope I make sense!  Lol!

NAMASTE.

    Mind conditioning, yes, I believe it's effective but somehow it's not that easy (sometimes).We need discipline and optimistic point of view at all times! Anyway, if there's a will, there's a way!

    The games gave me a flashback at nintendo family computer days. Some of the games do teach us some life's lessons.

    Nintendo ngayon ang gamit na pang training nang mga sundalo sa Amerika Ibang klaseng technology parang nag lalaro ka lang. kaya ang mgag helmet at tank ng mga amerikano may mga music na ginawa para sa kanila para habang gyera parang nag lalaro lang sila.

    For some time, I played Yoville day and night. It made me dream of a life of working in a factory, yet being paid heaps that I could afford pricey clothes. LOL.

    You are right! :) I've actually used a few games in helping me condition my own thoughts and feelings. But I won't mention the games anymore *hehe*... oh, and it made me reminisce about the old game types when you mentioned atari.. I used to have one, and I would always play donkey kong from it! :)

    I should be looking into this mind conditioning thing as I fare rather bad in the gaming department.

Redirecting Thoughts!

Sometimes, we forget to take control of our minds. There are times that we just do a lot of things out of habit. We do a lot of things unconsciously. These days, whenever I find myself “thinking”, I am making sure I am thinking productive things. What will I do next?; What are my plans today?;How will I go about today’s activities? If alone in the car, driving, I’d deliberately turn on the positive, encouraging radio station, since their kind of music is good for the soul. I could listen and know that it is all good. As much as possible, I try not to think of negative or bad things. Why? Because I’ve proven that whenever I do that, it boomerangs on me! There was this one time when I felt so pissed off with my husband that my mind was just creating all these negative vibes! Asked what happened next? The more my husband got pissed off. I wasn’t even saying anything, it was all mind power, and it hasn’t done any good! So I experimented the next time it happened, ins...

Vitamins for the Mind

Vitamins for the Mind   by Jim Rohn Results At the end of each day, you should play back the tapes of your performance. The results should either applaud you or prod you. The greatest form of maturity is at harvest time. This is when we must learn how to reap without complaint if the amounts are small and how to reap without apology if the amounts are big. Life asks us to make measurable progress in reasonable time. That's why they make those fourth grade chairs so small—so you won't fit in them at age 25! There are some things you don't have to know how it works, only that it works. While some people are studying the roots, others are picking the fruit. It just depends on which end of this you want to get in on.    "Vitamins for the Mind" is a weekly sampling of original quotes on a specific topic taken from The Treasury of Quotes by Jim Rohn. The burgundy hardbound book with gold-foil lettering is a collection of...

Jack of All Trades

My parents gave me all the opportunities to try and do different activities while growing up. I did ballet. I had swimming lessons ; I joined theatre arts ; I had piano recitals ; I learned bicycling; I played volleyball; I was one of the editors in our school paper. I was even a member of University Quiz Bee contest called "Pautakan", representing our college for 3 years! In high school, I admired students who could do Impromptu Speeches. You see, I could memorize long scripts, I could compose essays but to speak my mind in a contest? Whoa! I guess, I carried that thought - wishful thinking with me, even after college, that it led me to become a member of Toastmaster's International in Makati, Philippines and then here in Gallup, NM, USA! Do I still know how to ballet dance? Mmmm... Lol! Swim? Mmmm... not where I can't touch the floor or sand, OK?  hehe Play piano? Mmmm... I can do two piano pieces? Will that count? hahaha Act? Oh yes! Could...
