...I am a firm believer that a healthy mind promotes a healthy body. I feel this way because without a strong mind, including both your attitude and lifestyle you will never achieve total health. Since the body and mind are connected and emotions play such a large part in determining one’s health status, if you try separating out the mind from the body and how they interact it only makes sense that it would be misleading. For example, if a person lives a healthy life such as, exercise regularly, weight management, eating healthy food and manage a stress free environment they would live a longer life span, then those who live a life style drinking alcohol, smoking, and party. With a healthy mind, we begin to apply health and wellness into our lives, and be able to encouge family, friends or co-workers to do the same. It is very important that we live an healthy life because a healthy mind promotes a healthy way of living. Proper diet and exercise or making the wise choice not to partake excessive caffeine, drugs and alcohol use as well. With a healthy mind, we begin to apply health and wellness into our lives and make conscious decisions in everything we do or choose to participate in. I also believe it is a body-mind connection and it all starts in our head. It is very important that I live my life in a health way such as to minmize the unexpected A healthy mind also promotes a healthy way of living because you are looking at the positives that comes from having a healthy body...

...Some people say that it is wonderful to have a genius mind because you can learn any things rapid by yourself, you are able to solve problems quickly and nothing is hard or difficult for you. Since you have a genius mind and there are no obstacles in front of you, you might have thought that it is easier for you to succeed or reach some significant achievements. However is that absolutely right? From the book Outliers, The story of success written by Malcolm Gladwell and my experiences, having a creative mind is better than having a genius mind. First of all, people who have a creative mind can always have new ideas. Some people might ask, what are the benefits with it? With those new ideas they can invent new things which makes their life and other people's life easier. One of my friends who does not like to study and definitely does not have a genius mind once...

...struggles, fears, frustrations. Come and learn how to love God with all your mind! Series: All In Scripture: Matthew 22:34-22:40 (add scripture) Intro: In the middle of a wedding ceremony, a jewelry store manager exchanged rings with his soon-to-be spouse. As he slipped the ring onto his bride’s finger, he said, “With this ring—we guarantee a full refund if the customer is not completely satisfied.” His sales pitch was so deeply ingrained in his mind that the words came out automatically. What’s ingrained in your mind? “Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, let your mind dwell on these things” (Phil. 4:8). (Kent Crockett, I Once Was Blind But Now I Squint, Chattanooga, TN: AMG Publishers, 2004, 135) We learned last week that all in begins as an issue of the heart. We will see this week that after it affects the heart it inhabits the head. Matthew 22:37 “He said to him, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” Let me challenge you with this truth. If the gospel is not being ingrained in your mind it probably hasn’t been engraved on your heart. Hebrews 10:16 “This is the covenant I will make with them after those days, says the Lord: I will put My laws on their hearts and write them on their minds,” Romans 12:1-2 Tells us that Growth as a believer happens as our thinking is...

...891799512 Dr. Hall Philosophy 100 Tu/Th 1-2:15 pm A Perfect Mind, Lost Without memory We are dependent on our memories. According to John Locke, memories give us personhood. In the movie Captain America Winter Soldier, Steve Rogers was a war hero that was frozen, then unfrozen decades later. Steve missed years of information and a lifetime of experiences. This surreal scenario portrays how hard it was for him to integrate into a new generation. This relates to John Locke’s view on memory; Steve does not feel like his normal self, because he was robbed of memories, which made the new generation seem very complicated and odd. What made things even worse, was that people still viewed him as the old “Captain America”. In this case, his friends still saw him as the same person physically, however, mentally he was not. He was physically the same, but his mind was confused and lost; thus showing that mind is separate from the body. His physical attributes did not lose a step, but he was mentally damaged. Captain America provides examples of people being immaterial souls. People are who they are and act in certain ways due to their mind, not their bodies. People live through their memories and experiences. People know what to do and when to do it because of their past and their consciousness telling them right from wrong. Captain America suffered because his mind was frozen; his body is only relevant, because his mind is stored in his body. The body is just a physical, lifeless corpse...

...allows the body and mind to function properly. Without a proper working mind, people experience sleeplessness. The conscience also impacts the ability to get sleep because of all the guilt building up in the mind. With a conscience full of guilt, many people experience a significant amount of unrest in their life. William Shakespeare's Macbeth exposes to the readers how the life of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth changes after killing Duncan. Killing Duncan to obtain a greater status only causes more conflicts and unrest in Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s lives. Lack of sleep in people's lives causes unrest and poor judgement as seen in Macbeth...

...It is a known fact that many philosophers would describe the human brain as a detector of the mind and also they would agree that the mind is an inner, subjective state of consciousness. As we live our lives we can say that our mind is a very peculiar and restless part of who we are. It seems as if our brain never stops working, in fact that is only the part of our minds that we know is working. Behind the scenes our minds are cooking up a storm far more complex than we know. Everything in this life is about perspective, how we see ourselves and also how well we know who we are. It seems as if most people are constantly searching for that piece within in themselves that reassures them about who they are and what they are capable of. These...

...different theories, how each one them have different studies about what they think about personality, Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung, Carol Rogers, and Abraham Maslow. Personality is totality of qualities and traits, as of character or behavior, which are peculiar to a specific person. The set of emotional qualities, ways of behaving, etc. that makes a person different from other people. ***SIGMUND FREUD: Freud believes that behavior and personality derives from the constant and unique interaction of conflicting psychological forces that operate at three different levels of awareness: the preconscious, conscious, and the unconscious. *Preconscious mind – is the part of the mind that represents ordinary memory. *Conscious mind – includes everything we are aware of. *Unconscious mind – is a reservoir of feelings, thoughts urges, and memories that outside of our conscious awareness. According to Freud the mind can be divided into three different levels. Freud likened these three levels of mind to an iceberg. The part of the iceberg that you can see above the water represents the conscious mind. The part of the iceberg that is submerged below the water but is still visible is the preconscious; the bulk of the iceberg lies unseen beneath the waterline and represents the unconscious. According to Sigmund Freud psychoanalytic theory of personality, personality is composed of three elements known as id, the ego and the superego work together to create complex human behaviors...

...Literature goes beyond life "Literature goes beyond life. It is art; it is an imaginative creation that can tell truths gracefully, subtly through narrative, poetry and the movement of characters on a stage. Any imaginative act suggests possibility, and this is another reason to continue studying literature" (Florence Dee Boodakian). Literature has been the most influential art in the history of man. It passes down information from one generation to the next and unites all people from different places with a diverse culture. For examples, in Shakespeare, Walker, and Frost's works, it teaches and inspires us in lots of ways; emotionally, spiritually and intellectually. It also initiates change throughout our lifetime. It affects how people live and see the world in a bigger picture; another example of Alice Walker's "Everyday Use" it inspired and touches the hearts of many, that heritage is what binds one’s culture. Literature instills the skills needed by an individual to analyze critical things, to make a significant impact and differences in their lives and future. Literature is not a repository old scrolls and tomes, but great laboratory where the relation between man and the environment has been analyzed, experimented with and redefined over the history of civilization. The act of reading literature can change and shape how we perform and study things. Literature is the expression of oneself and the social life and thoughts through language that resemble one's heritage...

...hearts”(William Hazlett). In society, nature is often overlooked because of the fact that many people do not understand its power.

...When people think of incarceration, sometimes they think of being locked up inside a prison of some sort. This can be true to some degree. It can also mean being locked up in love life or social life as well. However, people can free you from your captivity of the mind or a physical prison. This can be processed through character and personality. Generally, when someone is imprisoned, they are imprisoned by people, their own love life, and they can be captive within there own mind. First, people can be overbearing and harsh for certain specific reasons. For example, In the story Ethan Frome by Edith Wharton, Zeena, the wife of Ethan Frome, is a sickly lady whose small illnesses causes her to be bossy and sometimes cruel to her husband. Sadly, Ethan has to take care of his wife because marriage can be captivating to him. Zeena is also shown as someone who can be heartless at times. However, this does not make her evil or some sort of devil. Zeena can be seen as a baby and whiny at times because of her hypochondriac ways. The little things that are seen as small problems, can be seen as giant ordeals to other people. What could her motive be for her...
