5 Head Games That Worked:
– Prisoners found post-prison golf scores improved by visualizing great swings during prison time.
– People increased muscle strength by doing virtual workouts in their heads.
– Hotel maids lost weight/lowered bp when they believed their work was physical exercise.
– People who think life is good lead healthier, longer lives.
– Human rights activist, Sharansky, practiced mental chess in solitary confinement, eventually beat world champion chess player, Kasparov.
If the mind could do these things for these people, just imagine what it might be able to do for us.
So, while we are walled in, why not make some time to find out. Where can you go? What can you become? What goals and dreams can come true for you —- through the powers of your mind. Play with this. Practice, practice, practice…see what happens, and let me know. Stay Safe.

I like this. Write an article in your head. Picture an article in your mind. Picture eating healthy with limited foods in refrigerator. Consider ways to increase your reading audience. Do this all in your head. And imagine kayaking and skiing and fishing. You can picture work or play or art or music or writing. Craft a tongue twister in your mind. Solve a word puzzle in your head. Create a crossword puzzle in your head. Igloos thing to do at night instead of watching TV — make your own TV so to speak….
Cool, Karen, occurs to me too, especially by your great examples, that a lot of what we do already began by a twinkle in the mind. Knowing that we do that, knowing that we can, makes it all the more possible to do it more and better.
I love the Sharansky practicing mental chess in solitary-wonder image of hope. It’s something about mastery and about hope. I just finished an Omer Group and we talked a lot about the meaning of redemption-is it big or is it little, what exactly is the image-that’s really something inward more than outward. Imagine/
Thank you for your comment, Judy. Yes, Sharansky decided to use his time in solitary well. We can all do that. Must DOs, Can DOs, Don’t DOs, New DOs. That was his New Do. As to redemption, Aurelius said “Life is what our thoughts make it.” Can we frame redemption in a way we can believe in and flourish by?
I’m gonna try this headset the next time I need to mow the grass: – “Hotel maids lost weight/lowered bp when they believed their work was physical exercise.”
Definitely, do that. And let me know how it works!
