How to Control the Mind(Everything)? Survival Reaction - Part:1
Mind is a very complex concept. For a long time there was a considerable uncertainty of its existence until Rene Descartes pronounced his famous quote.
"I think, therefore I am"
Rene Descartes
Its complexity was thought to be flexible as a result of different cultures, time intervals, different governance regimes and so on. Which was not a wrong detection but still was not a sufficient answer.
Apparently, nobody tended to analyze very old stone age where homo sapiens(Today's Humans) had one and only goal. But after reanalyzing the ancient times in 20th century to clarify the evolution of the human brain, the center of all human sciences(Psychology, Neurology, Anthropology, Biology, etc.) could be revealed.
Cortisol
Cortisol is known as the stress hormone which is released from the adrenal glands. But it is not renowned that in the occasion of its unrestrained production, it could bring the end of every regular state of human mind and body since those two are strongly connected. Here I'll provide a list of problems extreme cortisol creates in people.
Physical Mental
Inadequate Sleep Lack of Focus
Inadequate Energy Bad Decision Making
Weight Gain(Fat) Increase in Bad Habits
Increase in Pimples Decrease in Happiness
Hormonal Imbalance Lack of Confidence
Beside the despicable issues, ego, fear and depression levels increase simultaneously and, as a result of depression, emotional memory gets tough hits in the long run. Because cortisol creates chronic stress, which causes intense depression and which at the end, brings up alzheimer disease. Furthermore, cortisol also causes blood pressure to increase which might show up as diabetes or cancer and even the telomeres which are the small parts that stands at the end of each chromosome tend to get shorter and shorter. Which does not sound a serious deal at first, however, shortening of telomeres is the most substantial sign of aging. With aging wrinkles appear, brain functions slow down, hairs tend to be poured way faster. Basically, people get uglier and uglier.
After all these pessimistic consequences, time to ask why even the body produces such a destructive hormone. Cortisol is a WARNING that is produced in a process that starts in the brain and ends in the adrenal glands. It aims to GUIDE human beings in their hazardous future to come. It is the result of one primitive attitude that all living creatures possess. The SURVIVAL REACTION.
Survival reaction is the center of the human evolution and everything about it. It can not be eliminated or ignored, the only solution is learning how to control it.
Therefore, next article will explain the benefits of controlling the survival reaction and how it can be controlled. Hope that was interesting.
