Is there a thing called MIND CLOCK?

Today my daughter had to submit her food item (stuffed capsicum) at school party. We thought of preparing it y’day night.... but then realized that it may not be fresh....so postponed it to today morning. The recipe was compiled by the kids and they had to prepare the dish with parents help. I decided not to cheat her teachers.... so wanted Harshita to be completely involved in its preparation.

For the first time, I requested Harshita to wake up in the early morning at 6am. Usually it’s really hard to wake her up. Honestly, I want them to sleep more…. feels so bad when she requests “mamma... please let me sleep for five more minutes” and it continues for another half an hour. Ultimately she wakes up at around 7.30am. Thought she’ll repeat the same today. But to my surprise, she woke up at exactly 6am.... all by herself.... no alarm.... no external force. And here is the result of her determination....



That makes me wonder, is there a thing called MIND CLOCK.... as it reminds me of my childhood. When I wanted to get up.... I used to get up exactly at the time I wanted to be.... setting an alarm was just a backup plan. It is mind that controls body and its functions.

Realized that the KEY to set MIND CLOCK alarm is the RESPONSIBILITY. Not sure if anybody had similar experience. When we are young.... MIND CLOCK has its own advantages.... but once we grow older.... there are so many responsibilities.... and if the alarm is set most of the time... it results in INSOMNIA :-(.

  2. The mind clock is amazing Punya, works almost everytime. You just have to know that you do not have anybody else to do the job for you. It still works perfectly, whenever I've to travel and have imp. jobs to take care of in the morning, or somebody imp. is expected to come or anything else that you care of. It looks like it works for everybody regardless the age, you only have to be responsible. Good thought, and great thinking!
