You can use the phrase "I need to prep for a meeting" to escape. Combine this with looking at your wrist as if checking your watch. If you're not wearing one, it gets your message across even louder.

Many of us might have experienced those deep philosophical moments in life. Whether it’s contemplating the meaning of existence while waiting in line for coffee or pondering our place in the universe during a mundane task, these thoughts can be both profound and entertaining.
It’s fascinating how our brains can flip from the trivial to the existential in the blink of an eye. But why do we dive into these philosophical thoughts? Our minds are powerful tools that can explore vast realms of thought, reflecting on our experiences and the world around us.

Now, if you search for “the power of the mind” online, you’ll come across a variety of interesting claims and ideas. From programs promising to help you attract success through positive thinking to articles exploring the impact of meditation on mental clarity, there’s no shortage of information out there.
But amidst the noise and the hype, it's essential to recognize that our minds genuinely possess the ability to shape our reality. Research shows that our thoughts can impact our health and well-being.

“Our minds aren’t passive observers, simply perceiving reality as it is. Our minds actually change reality,” explains Alia Crum, an assistant professor of psychology and the director of the Stanford Mind and Body Lab. This means that our thoughts and perceptions can influence not only how we interpret our experiences but also how we respond to challenges in our lives.

The dog sums up the way I feel when I see countless people addicted to their phones.
By harnessing the power of our minds, we can cultivate a more positive outlook and improve our overall well-being. This mental shift can be especially beneficial when addressing chronic pain, which is among the most pressing health care issues today.
According to Beth Darnall, a clinical professor of anesthesiology, perioperative, and pain medicine, “Pain is highly responsive to each person’s psychology and mindset.”

The more widely a disorder spreads, the closer we get to calling it "the human condition". Maybe we can even get an ethnic group or two rolling.
Individuals who anticipate worse pain and dwell on it often feel a sense of helplessness. This phenomenon is known as pain catastrophizing. Those who engage in this mindset tend to experience more intense pain.
This mindset can lead to longer hospital stays after surgery and an increased reliance on pain medications. Conversely, individuals who adopt a positive mindset tend to experience reduced pain and require fewer pain medications.

Sometimes that is the case; sometimes, the case is that our thoughts are racing constantly for inspirational and painful reasons and we have some difficulty organizing them minute by minute , though!
A Forbes article emphasizes that "the power of the mind applies to both positive and negative outcomes. If your mind believes you are chronically sick or lacks the ability to achieve a goal, you automatically start your day with that expectation."
This means that your dominant thought patterns will lead you to notice and focus on information that validates those beliefs. As a result, you create a feedback loop that reinforces your core thoughts based on where you direct your attention.

Nah, I really need a lamp. My eyesight's shot, and I'm sick of stubbing my toes.
Imagine you wake up feeling a bit under the weather and instantly think, "I’m definitely getting sick." This negative thought sets the tone for your day. As you go about your routine, you start to notice every little ache or sneeze, convincing yourself that your body is falling apart.
Because you’re focused on these sensations, they feel more intense, and you might even start to withdraw from activities you usually enjoy, further confirming your belief that you’re unwell.

Linear time as humans experience it is just one small aspect of time. On another level, time is a loop (like a mobius strip), on a higher level still, time is infinite in all directions. Even higher than that, there is no distinction between 'space' and 'time', as all merge into energy.

Things typically don't happen all at once, so there's gotta be something to this whole "time" business. Parents of toddlers may disagree.
On the other hand, if you wake up and decide to embrace a positive mindset—thinking, “I might feel a little off, but I can still have a good day”—you’re likely to approach the day differently.
You might choose to go for a walk, enjoy a healthy breakfast, or connect with friends, which can distract you from minor discomforts and boost your mood. This shift in focus not only helps alleviate those feelings but also reinforces the idea that you have control over your well-being.

Whoever chose the word "meme" to describe what we know known as memes, should have used the term "simulacrum" instead, as a combination of both dictionary definitions; i.e. "an image or representation of someone or something" and "an unsatisfactory imitation or substitute", further defined by stages one to four.
JP 7 months ago
"meme" is an analogue to "gene", in that it's an indivisible unit of information which is transmitted in some way. Where a gene is a unit of biological information, a meme is a unit of cultural information. Sourced from the Greek mimena, meaning "imitated". The term predates the internet, having being created in 1976, but has certainly been cemented and popularized by it. Simulacrum is rooted in Roman instead, and emphasized "visual likeness". Today, at least technologically speaking, that use case is typically addressed by the word "avatar".

Same. I think their issue is in trying to build a brand with something that there just isn't enough of, extremely interesting people who have something great to say to everyone and the ability to say it well. In their absence, all the self-styled "life coaches" and "motivational speakers" flood the platform.
