The Martial Arts Mind: What Are We Thinking?

This month’s lesson is important and practical for both parents and children.

We all think in pictures. Many times what we see in our mind’s eye translates to what we end up with in reality. Take a moment. Ask yourself: are you thinking of winning or losing at this very moment? Is your mind geared more toward thoughts of success or failure?

The great challenge of the mind lies in being able to control what kind of pictures we play in the theatre of our mind. So consider

As a parent, your thoughts and how you share your perceptions of the world around you greatly influence the wort of developmental thought processes your child has. Although we like to believe our thoughts are based on elemental success, accomplishment, and a bright future, if we took an inventory of our thoughts on a daily basis, we would discover an audit that often dwells on past failures, present problems, and future anxieties far too much.

Why is this important? Well, for starters, many of the psychological breakthroughs of the last century illustrate a fundemental truth: that we become what we think about most of the time.

Our thoughts influence our actions. The subconscious mind processes every life experience through the rubric of our own mental state. Therefore, thinking negatively about an event promotes negatively in life, conversely, a positive mental outlook contributes to positivism in our daily lives.

The subconscious does not recognize the difference between a real event and one that is vividly imagined. So, our instant recall on any event may trigger either negativity or a positive remembrance based on nothing more than a thought pattern we have developed.

As such, we can all benefit from having a more firm mastery on developing a positive outlook in our daily thoughts. Therefore, the next time you catch yourself in thoughts of failure, remember to take a moment to assess and switch your thoughts toward reflections of success. Just being aware of the old adage “is the glass half empty or half full?” will have a huge impact on you and your family.
