Your mind is largely what you you make it. Your thoughts are principally those things that you permit your mind to focus on and ruminate over, sometimes cycling or "kindling" them over and over to the extent of unhealthy distortion (psychologists like to call this extreme "if/then" enlargement of a possibility " catastrophizing "), obsession and the "crowding out" of your ability to cast your focus or place your thoughts elsewhere. More than 70% of the U.S. population (and this is likely an underestimate, gathered more anecdotally than methodically and subject to review) is taking prescription psychotropic drugs -- and this does not include those persons who self-medicate or share prescription medication with others. This statistic does not take into effect illegal drugs and non-prescription controlled substances . Nor does it take into account nicotine, alcohol, coffee or tea, all of which are psychoactive to some extent, and are addictive...

A swifter mind is a more efficient mind...a more useful mind...a more powerful mind, and of course a more desirable mind. There is actually no such creature (or feature) as The SWIFT MINDS Breakthrough [it hardly even qualifies as a Lingovation], but it is a neat term to describe the effect upon the improvement in your associative intelligence, creativity, spontaneity, speed of thought and sense of irony when you engage in reading or creating those adverbial oddities (distantly related to the Paraprasdokians, our second favorite family, the first being the Halogens -- they're a gas!) which are now called " Tom Swifties ." Here's Wikipedia's take on these hysterical swords of wordplay (this part is boring, but it gets better fast -- I swear [all of the time]): "The name comes from the Tom Swift series of books (1910–present), similar in many ways to the better-known Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew series, and, like them, produced by the Stratemeyer Syndicate...

The terms DENIAL and UNACCEPTANCE are occasionally used interchangeably, but each word carries a completely different colloquial meaning, and each word carries a different emotional charge. If you are in denial , you are being blind to the obvious, and perhaps hiding from it. You are victimizing and infantilizing yourself, to shield your psyche against pain or to keep from confronting a problem. If you are unaccepting, you have chosen not to take what is being offered. You are being proactive -- perhaps to the point of violence or intolerance -- but you are being courageous and not cowardly. In terms of the two different different polarities, the person in a state of denial is not acknowledging or acting on a problem, while the person in a state of unacceptance sees the fault, wishes to change it, and it being quite courageous. Followers and fans of The Braintenance Blog , this is a difference worth contemplating. You might even start to change your use of the terms and begin to pref...
