ARE YOU IN YOUR RIGHT MIND?

By

This is an interesting statement that if someone tells you this pay heed. If not, the next comment you may hear is that you may be out of your mind. Stop this before it gets worse and instead of taking the bait to argue or ignore, choose to come and command your own senses. This settles everything and that's what counts. Imagine if everyone did this? Self-correction would take place freeing us all up for other things

OVER-DOING

Over-reacting to something will cause you to be temporarily be out of your right mind. But it also is a valuable lesson to teach you that your reactions, as an approach to problem solving, can use some looking/tweaking at and perhaps a pro-active plan can be put into place instead. It ups your life game

SHE WASN'T THINKING STRAIGHT

Not reacting to something as in complacency or obliviousness is also a visit out of your own mind. I witnessed this today when I saw a young mother let her child run free in a bank and manage to get his fingers caught in a door all by himself. What was the mother thinking to let her kid get 20 feet away?

OPPORTUNITY KNOCKING & KNOCKING

A great deal of some sort, large or small, necessary or one you wouldn't mind having comes along & instead of being able to assess or experience it for what it is or as being presented, you leave your mindset & enter into fear, suspicion, doubt and hesitation. Leaving your right mind allows this to happen. This can be be costly

RIGHT MIND DEFINED: the center of your being. Your observation post as you travel. The place of your default where when you leave it is the place you come back to as meant. Command center and sense control. Rational readiness.

CALM DOWN?

Finding a state of calm before having to be told to be calm has its advantages but only if you remain open and approachable for this dynamic to visit with you. The calm I am speaking of emanates from within to the outside. It is not an actors calm or a manufactured one. Calm down not up

 THE DRIVE

What is driving you is an excellent question to ask the self and answer. Being in a hurry not only ups our risking but also addicts us at the same time. Even the human body, who can and will rise to immediate danger using adrenaline has to stop the process allowing you to return usually with the shakes

DRIVEN BEHAVIOR

Time drives us relentlessly as does ambitions of all kind based on material things and what we consider must haves. Money is necessary and the pursuit of it interesting because it reveals quite well the inner parts of person. Give them a shot at money and you really get to know who they are. Same with power

WHY RISE?

It is further interesting to note how people will rise to an occasion instead of just running at occasion speed. Why rise or accelerate? Be there already. I am thinking how people get lost in their thoughts or out of the moment experiences and are shocked when summoned back. Texting distractions anyone?

REASON PREVAILS

When I meet up with clients, I get a little concerned when they start becoming willful about things they know nothing about but want to command. As a Real Estate professional, I am familiar with handling hundreds of millions of dollars. I know what to do from having done it. Stay & be reasonable not willful

DID I SAY THAT?

Ever said something and regretted saying it? Embarrassment or an awkwardness kicked in? The right mind was missing or on a break. How about doing something and regretting that action? As soon as you recover, the right mind summons forth apologies. Chalk up another learning curve lesson.

SHOCKING!

Personal shock does different things to different people. Some go silent, some rattle on. Then there are the ones who cannot stop themselves and make things worse as well as the ones who stop short of doing the right thing not completing what they should. Again, it pays to be and stay in an objective state.

FORWARD HO...

Yes, you will be summoned here and there as life introduces all the surprises and unplanned events that come with the living of it. But remember to gather yourself, pause and begin recovery. Where? You guessed it....To your right mind. See you there (I hope)

Richie, very well written. There are some events enough to leave you without that precious "right mind". Luckily, we learn to collect our thoughts before reacting as we age.

I love this post, Richie!  Reading the title, my comment would be, I'm left-handed so, yes, my command center IS in my right mind!  LOL  

This reminds me of a meeting today that I had to be in total control.  My preparation (to remain calm no matter what) lead to a reaction that showed no emotion.  I didn't flinch.  It truly helps me be in an even better position for the follow-up meeting!  My right mind 'saved me!'

So true Richie.  There are times when words come out, unintended and in the wrong tone.  If we put more thought, and time, into what we are going to say and are in the "right mind" we might have a better outcome!
