The Good Mind - Essay

 When I began having sessions with my therapist about two and a half years ago, one of the things he always mentioned when discussing things with me is the expression "Your Good Mind". He kept telling me that what he saw from my personality and the way I presented and saw myself all came from a good place.

The good mind.

However, there were times when my mind did not feel good. It did not feel right.

It took me while to really think about the expression, however every time I heard it, I felt touched. If my therapist saw me as a good man with a good mind, maybe I should start seeing myself that way as well.

During the first COVID-19 lockdown, I decided to write an essay based on the "Good Mind" expression. I have decided to share it here with you.

I sincerely hope you enjoy it.

The Good Mind - Essay

Each person is a unique star in the sky. Each persons’ light shines at a different brightness. Each persons’ faith or beliefs are also different and special.

In this way, when differences strike our majestic planet in every corner and inch, each persons’ mind, heart and soul sparkle and shine, differently than anyone else’s.

The good mind is the place of the greatest thoughts of man. The mind helps the body to understand its clever and wondrous functions. From being able to feel the taste and temperature of a food or drink, from the first bite or sip to the very end when those nutrients help to energize us.

The emotional state of the good mind is filled to staggering capacity. How the mind is able to work with the heart and helps it understand, what is sadness? What is happiness? What is joy and what is pain?

From here the good mind helps us store our knowledge and information. From the date of a birthday, to the very important answer and questions we ask ourselves daily. Everything is up there within the good mind, ready for us to tap in to the depths and access it.

The good mind helps us understand ourselves. When we look at what we are, who we are and what we want to become our good mind is there to guide us along the journey. We have so many goals to reach and so many thoughts and concepts to define and look deep within too and together with the strength of character and our good mind, we can develop and understand our concepts and then take a stand, march toward our goals and achieve them.

Please allow YOUR MIND to be GOOD too.
