Episode three: Renew Yourself
There is something about us which we might not actually notice while we do it all day. And if we notice if we cannot stop doing it even if we tried. It is that we project ourselves into the future, from very small movements of our body to elaborate plans if we use our future as a concept and are passionate about what we want to achieve.
It lies in the nature of how our brain works and impulses between our heart and brain are translated into moving our body that projection and imagination are our basic principles of functioning.
For example, we must imagine to grap a glas of water before we can actually do it. If the thought, the projection, doesn’t come up in our mind we won’t do it. And we might think our brain comes first, but of course it can be a need for water based on which our body somehow triggers our imagination in our mind. And there is something odd scientists found - which is that the first impulse of any movement of our body is in our heart. And thus not in our brain as we might think.
If we get into a way of living where we repeat our day to day tasks but our heart is not participating, then we start feel like a zombie. Sometimes life seems to end up in circles of necessary actions where each one depends on the other in seemingly endless repetition. And if we try change something a part of our life does not ‘work’ anymore. We don’t know how to get out of it, so what can we do?
This episode is centered around what actually happens when we get stuck and what the key function of our unavoidable need for imagining our future actually is.
