“This is a big day!” you say, and the pulse quickens. Adrenaline rushes through the body, and this you recognize as feeling nervous. What caused this? Your thoughts. Your perception that the events of this day are more important than those of another day have just changed the timbre, the [...]
If you would only listen, oh what you would hear. A repetitive sound in the bedroom will keep you awake, will it not? You allow it to distract you and “drive you crazy” to the point where you lie in bed sleepless. This is because you allow your focus to [...]
