Blink Instinct
Blink and begin to think how different we’d be if we trusted our first instinct
The mind rules us, our body its reaction, our eyes are like the musical transaction
In just two seconds we as people can analyze a situation
We don’t need answers or understanding, there is no hesitation
Adaptive unconscious — which is out of reach to the human mind — makes us and the world we live in go blind
What if we just went with our gut instinct all the time? Would there be less chaos? More understanding? The world may never know until we try
Many of the thoughts we think as people are seldom forgotten
They grow on our brains and then get picked like cotton
It’s been proven true that we are in charge of our own fate
We can manifest our success and turn out great
The words we speak alone can and will hurt us
They will mold, shape, stop, plop and skirt around us like a school bus
The ventromedial prefrontal cortex plays an important role in decision making
It navigates our thoughts and molds them until they are ready and done like baking
The real you is revealed by your actions
Even though your words may invite a different attraction
It’s all up to you and your minds transaction
Blinking in black and white is a job well done
The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was once a long run
With our first instinct we can associate words into categories
Our mind stores preexisting knowledge and distributes it little by little into stories
Many jobs like being a sales associate for a car dealership involves thin slicing
Taking care of the customer first is a job worth its enticing
On many occasions a person has to be quick on their feet
They base their sales pitch, attitude and demeanor on the first time they meet
First impressions are a response to what we think we know and are exposed to
Our minds are biased to what is drilled into us like a nail screw
We can train ourselves to be less racist, sexist and homophobic
With more exposure to equality in everyday life our mind becomes less claustrophobic
When less is more, rapid cognition requires people to stay on their feet
Quick decisions may turn out like candy, sour or sweet
What you hear versus how you react has been set in stone and made as fact
From television, radio and everyday communication encounters, you absorb information like a sponge on a wet counter
The naked face is prone to what you are thinking and feeling
Although it can be a signal of what is on your mind, it actually is more revealing
With the way we instantly communicate with people, it’s our first action response
Every moment our face is on display like the Renaissance
All in all listening with your eyes is a lesson to be learned
Just like in everyday life, there is money that can be earned
The choices you make with a blink of an eye may seem simple but are really complex
How we understand the world from within is a revolutionary fortress
Acting on our first instinct can allow for many things
We may make new discoveries in this world we live in or fly away like a bird with wings
If we look at the bigger picture blinking allows for more mistakes yes, but better understanding
Remember you get more bees with honey than you do with vinegar any day because its not in your favor to be demanding
In many ways how we interact with others influences our actions
We have a self serving bias and that is the main distraction
When we blink, we process information but we also miss the view we had with our eyelids closed
It’s up to the brain to remember what was once there and imposed
Blinking is the power of thinking
It’s part of the rush you get when you fall, dive into a pool or for many grown ups, when they end up drinking
So many different feelings, emotions, reactions and transactions flow and coincide within our systems
In just seconds we, like many other living things become a part of a bigger whole, like our ecosystem
So now that you know the history, background and technicalities that come with blinking
The next time you do blink, bring more purpose to it but please, don’t start overthinking
