Can you imagine a dish of biryani with some authentic aroma and all the spices on it. Also, the chillies and onion with some raita decorate it so perfectly and you get tempted to it within seconds.
Whenever you see any such kind of advertisement of Biryani or Spicy chat then we get the craving for it so naturally. Suddenly something happens and your mouth becomes watery even if you just think of it.
So did you ever notice what happens in your brain?
There is something that triggers your emotional impulse which results in some action.
All the e-commerce giants like Amazon are spending millions of dollars to create these triggers.
This particular thing is very relative and varies from person to person, so if you’re not conscious enough then you’ll get affected by it easily.
So the most important thing here is to be conscious and alert about all these triggers.
You have to be very resilient and robust about it and make your mind so calm and composed that nothing could trigger you.
There can be a number of examples when external factors impact you so bad that you get lost in it. I have experienced a few such incidents in my life when I got driven by that particular situation. Later, when I look back at those things, I realize that I could have responded differently.
I had gone to a restaurant which was full of people sitting in the groups and I was all alone. I was so embarrassed to sit on the table with no one around me and I could barely take my head up from my mobile. I took my whole meal by just looking at the mobile and somehow ran away from that place.
Later, when I analyzed the same situation critically, I realized that there was no need to get that much embarrassed at all. So the next time when I went to the same restaurant and everything was the same but I did not turn up to my mobile and was sitting quite calmly and composed. No one was even looking at me and I was having so different assumptions in my mind.
The same kind of thing happens if you happen to go to watch a movie all alone. You will realize it if you have been in such a situation. It looks easy but takes real guts.
So the bottom line is to develop such kind of confidence and be immune to all the personal triggers.
The same happens when you see some advertising for some trendy sneakers and clothes and you can't resist visiting that particular portal.
Even when you listen to some music or song then it creates some form of pleasure in your mind and you just get carried away with it for a moment. This can be used as a great tool to calm and relax your mind consciously.
So, instead of getting blown away by such triggers, we should take charge of our minds and can become mindful.
It's a practice and you will achieve it when done consciously. The goal is to be so calm and relaxed as if you've taken some drug shots.
If you're able to understand what I'm trying to say then nothing will disturb you. Just pause for a moment and try to identify what signal its passing to your brain.
There's no drug or no situation or no single thing in this world which can surpass your consciousness and that's the beauty of the brain. This is how you can make your mind ice cold. That's all for now!
