Title: A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE

By: AHAVA HILEY

They say a mind is a terrible thing to waste

Yet the wasteful thoughts are okay to let go

See the mind has a funny way of manipulating you

How thoughts become blindsided

How forgetful things being misplaced

How logical things become erased

Disclosure of actions of making new or secret information known

Confidentiality now more freedom to expose

Damn this mind thing is mind blowing

No warning given

The aspects of this figure is supposed to guard your opinions

The mind is the master mind of your triggers

No glitching

Eagerness of bitterness

The focus seems blurry as it travels to different avenues of your senses

Hear no evil

Speak no evil

See no evil

Yet the mind movie these sentences because the good to it is way to sweet

The mind will eventually lose sleep

As a disease will control your ability to control it

Stop the manipulation of bullshit

Whatever you’re thinking… let it flow

Feel the freedom to breathe a little

The mind has ways… but take control because a mind is a terrible thing to waste

A mind is indeed a terrible thing to waste, yet many of us allow negative and wasteful thoughts to dominate our mental space. Cognitive biases often cloud our judgment, leading to decision-making errors that can have lasting impacts. It's essential to recognize and challenge these automatic thoughts to regain control. Mindfulness practices, such as meditation and journaling, have proven effective in managing cognitive clutter. They encourage us to observe our thoughts without judgment and create a healthier mental environment. Learning to let go of unproductive thoughts can free up mental resources that can be redirected towards positive and constructive activities. Additionally, embracing self-awareness allows individuals to navigate the complexities of their thoughts better, facilitating emotional resilience. Understanding how perceptions can influence feelings can empower anyone to transform their mental landscape. Just as you wouldn't let physical waste accumulate in your home, it's vital to keep your mind as clear and organized as possible. Cultivate a mindset that supports growth and creativity, and you'll discover the richness of life beyond mere survival. Always remember—your mind should work for you, not against you.
