Mind Dynamics Friedman Analysis

Our emotions affect us in so many ways. Emotions affect the way we behave, our views and opinions, our relationships and our decision-making; therefore, they are very relevant to our day-to-day lives. It is important that people have an understanding of these emotions and that they are able to interpret them. Emotions can both help and hinder our ability to best live our lives. It is also important to realize that even our emotions are shaped and biased by our environment and those close to us.

In this approach we see the theories of psychology that see the human mind function based upon the interaction of forces and drives within the mind, normally this means unconscious thoughts, but it also includes looking at the different structures of the personality.

Our parents raise us hoping for us to develop certain character traits, but there comes to a point when we start to become our own person based on the experiences we go through, any situation, good or bad, can influence our personality mentally and emotionally. Emotion is what makes us human, it's how we cope and how we manage our crazy lives’. When our feelings get damaged or even nourished, it will change how we react

Emotions are often thought to be personal. One may say “I am sad.” or “I am mad.” or I am scared.” and frequently we believe those emotions are inhabiting just the body in which they were created.

As human beings, we are constructed with human emotions and mental capacity such as the unconscious and conscious state of being that facilitate our actions and decision, but can we control our mind or is it an inevitable action and thought? In Blink: The Power of Thinking Without Thinking by Malcolm Gladwell, he elaborates that it’s possible to discipline and restraint our unconscious and conscious. This book helps illustrate the complexity and serene our human minds and self-judgement that we conspire within the first seconds of any situation as we go through in our lives separately but use similar mental strategies without thinking about them.

Humans are a void capable of many different emotions like happiness, sadness, anger, and fear. These emotions are what lead your way into the world and give you life. Emotions are the way that people see you, and the way you see people. They are the way you conquer life. Different people conquer life with different emotions like (with) confidence, aggressiveness, and with sadness(with touch of anger).

The television series, Through the Wormhole had an episode that talked about the Subconscious of the human brain. The subconscious of the brain has long been thought of as the source of our primal fears and desires. Scientists have discovered how the subconscious makes snap decisions that protect us from harm, and that it can be trained to actually heal our bodies of disease. There was an example in the video where Morgan Freeman talked about when he was eight years old he had to memorize twelve line from a play but thought he would forget if he goes on stage in front of a big crowd. Once he got on stage, the nervousness of his body went away and recited every line in the play. This comes to show that the brain can memorize many things when it comes to reading or movement. Certain parts of the brain tend to turn off when we start on a task. Those regions of the brain become active

In life, the mind is a useful tool that helps one get things done efficiently. The way our minds work is truly fantastic and it makes one have abilities to perform in certain areas. Nonetheless, even though everybody has a mind of their own it is hard to identify or explore problems and ideas. The mind is always full of things and it makes one only focus on certain things in their lives. Most of us do not even stop to think about things and or analyze because there is something that always comes up. In the article, “On Habit” by Alain de Botton it talks about how things are not seen in a more in-depth perspective. De Botton wants people to stop and focus on things in a different manner that can be further explored or obtained and share

The book "Mindset The New Psychology of success" written by Carol S. Dweck is about how one can change his/her life if they have the right mindset. "In this book, you'll learn how to simply believe in yourself"(Dweck) you may think 'Oh I already believe in myself' but sometimes we are our own worst enemy.

There are many facts that are unknown about the mind. For centuries, philosophers and scientists have tried to understand how it works. We have learned that the mind has a number of different levels of processing. Before Sigmund Freud “nearly all the previous research and theorizing of psychologists had dealt with conscious, such as perception, memory, judgment, and learning“ (Hunt185). Freud brought forth a number of theories that dealt with “the unconscious and its crucial role in human behavior”(Hunt 185). The unconscious is a storage area for information that is not being used. It is also the home of “powerful primitive drives and forbidden wishes that constantly generated pressure on the conscious mind”(Hunt

When you live by default, you let your 'monkey mind' take control of your life. The monkey mind is restless, indecisive, and easily distracted.

The doing mind is goal oriented such as trying to avoid a specific mood or behavior. The doing mind focuses on the steps to that need to be taken to achieve this goal and tries to lessen the gap between where the person is and where person wants to be (Prochaska & Norcross, 2014). If the person’s actions allow him or her to achieve the goal the person will be able to exit the doing mind. However, if the goal is not achieved, he or she will get stuck in the loop and will focus his or her attention on the gap and the problem. In contrast, the being mind focuses on experiencing the present mind as it is without judgement or any pressure to change it. The being mind has a direct and intimate experience with the present (NREPP, 2012).

The human mind is a very fascinating subject. This is the place where tons of ideas are created, translated and then put into action. It is hard to fully understand it, as we still haven’t, yet it is a compelling subject to observe. We think about so much stuff and then transform those thoughts into an action and do so much without a second thought. It feels as though our minds are going a million miles per hour and we are always on our toes waiting for what is to come and expecting everything. We like to believe that we are aware of our surroundings and that we know everything that is going on. However according to many tests that are conducted, we are proving to be very clueless and unobservant to the things that surround us. Perhaps we are not clueless, instead maybe we are afraid to admit what we do see.

Dr. Gregg Steinberg spoke about the juice of life, some of these emotions are awareness, drive, and balance, Dr. Steinberg explained that when individuals are under pressure and the only thing they feel are negative emotions then this is what they will show. Once a person experiences different situations and puts a label on that emotion or reactions, which can cause them to be encouraged or is undesirable it will present them with a scenario that causes an inner conflict. These emotional juices will push us forward or hold us back it is up to the individual to take those current reactions and makes changes so the outcome will benefit them (Steinberg, 2017).

It isn’t difficult to understand the science of mind power. When you are in communication with your subconscious, when you begin to understand that it is the source of all power, you will begin to understand that it simply works.
