From the mind of critic: “If lack of sleep diminshes our critical thinking skills, how come too much thinking diminshes our sleep? Are thoughts that keep us up at night, not critical but overly emotional? Does obession prevent us from achieving clarity? Our brains create random and numerous thoughts, whether we want them to or not. The quality of which depends on our discernment and filter levels. When we don’t get enough sleep, our discernment drops and our filter becomes porous, but our flow of consciousness doesn’t stop. We might not be able to stop this constant stream, but we can make it more meaningful. When our mind races it can cause lack of sleep, and vice versa. Once we realize quality always beats out quantity, we’ll see that taking care of our mind, is inextricably linked to taking care of our body and soul. Sometimes we can’t prevent our lack of sleep, because of an overbearing concept called life. We can however make sure we’re kind to ourselves when our sleep has diminshed, which will halt out negativity cycle of no sleep and uncritical thought. Taking care of ourselves means not merely understanding how everything is interconnected, but living it as well.” 🙂
