Mind Control (Apr. 10)

It is really amazing the way the body works. This is not the first time you have heard it and it certainly won't be the last. What is truly amazing is the way the body functions in a sense of doing what you tell it to do. Now, it isn't like you literally say to your arm, more from this position to that position and pick that up. In reality you probably do not even consider honestly thinking about the actions you perform most on a daily basis. But, as fast as a computer (and sometimes faster) your mind sends messages through your nervous system to move your body in the ways that you desire. There are even some natural reactions that your body will naturally perform, such as when you touch something hot, your hand moves away before your mind even gets the chance to think about it more often than not. This reaction is really proven to not be something of learned habit, though future ramifications of that incident will certainly make you more hesitant to touch something that may be hot. Sadly there are also instances in life when you feel like you are sending all the right messages to the right body parts to perform certain actions and the results seem to be lacking. It is almost like taking a baseball player and asking him to sew. He may have some idea at what to do but it just isn't going to be the same as a professional seemstress. It really makes you realize how difficult it is to live with a nervous system that isn't functioning properly. Your mind seems to loose all sense of control and things quickly slip through your fingers.
