Random Thoughts or Whatever

One thing that works for me when I can't think of a word or a name is to sit back, take a deep breath, and relax — it will sometimes come to me.

Like the song's name or the group's name is on the "tip of my tongue." If I try too hard to remember, the answer seems to get further away. But if I change what I'm doing, even while I'm going to Google to try to find the name, it comes to me before I search.

It's really interesting how the brain works. :)

The U.S. Materials Sector was crushed in September. Here are the ten that lost the largest percentage of market cap over the last thirty days

I feel fortunate that my mining and coal positions were not hit so hard ... but yeah, they sank a fair piece as well, around -7.22%.
 
Just be careful on how hard you do hit your head,:biggrin: as the brain can only take a certain amount of impact and not damaged.

Great strides within recent years have been made in understanding how accidents can affect the brain, and how memory decay takes place.

Both the areas of conscious and conscious states have been measured and tested, but the subconscious is the area that alludes investigation. Even brain surgeons shake there heads at times (softly) with some of the experiences they encounter in and after brain procedures.

Video on the brain's Amygdala and its role in emotions.

Have known about this part of the brain for years, and it's role in our lives.

And for existing in a "war-torn world" that we live in, we are all affected in a secondary way, and can only imagine how those who are swept up in an immediate manner are constantly and daily exposed to their very existence of peril!

That little almond-shaped part of the brain is our tie-in with the primitive side of we humans.

Take care, Mr. B.

In sports psychology, there's a group of folks who believe that an overactive, negative Amygdala can be one reason some athletes seem to fail at the worst times. Never live up to their potential. And that there is a slew of techniques and exercises to try to minimize this overactive, negative side.

I enjoy watching the closeups of Relief pitchers when they come in at very crucial moments - you know, game on the line, bases loaded, that kind of pressure. I feel like I can almost predict the outcome based on the facial expressions. I can see confidence level, stress level - and when the first is LOW and the second is HIGH - look out - disaster is looming. There are some pitchers who simply always have supreme confidence and show no stress. I'm always wondering if pitching coaches and managers sitting on the bench can see this effect?

Oh, I'm sure teammates and everyone on both benches are checking the non-verbal cues. Those say a lot more than spoken words.
