Mastering Your Mind And Mood - Braintenance

Your mind is largely what you you make it. Your thoughts are principally those things that you permit your mind to focus on and ruminate over, sometimes cycling or "kindling" them over and over to the extent of unhealthy distortion (psychologists like to call this extreme "if/then" enlargement of a possibility "catastrophizing"), obsession and the "crowding out" of your ability to cast your focus or place your thoughts elsewhere.

More than 70% of the U.S. population (and this is likely an underestimate, gathered more anecdotally than methodically and subject to review) is taking prescription psychotropic drugs -- and this does not include those persons who self-medicate or share prescription medication with others. This statistic does not take into effect illegal drugs and non-prescription controlled substances. Nor does it take into account nicotine, alcohol, coffee or tea, all of which are psychoactive to some extent, and are addictive (either physiologically or psychologically, to some extent. Nor does it take into account excessive doses of over-the-counter substances used for escape, pain management or "recreation".

There are many medicators and far fewer meditators, even though the end result sought is the same -- successful meditation causes your neurochemistry to change -- your body actually produces its on endogenous medications to help you to heal and be healthier in general. This goes a great deal further than just the "endorphin 'high' " that runners and other athletes experience. Your body is a fabulous laboratory and a custom pharmacy if you just let it know what you require of it.
