Penned sometime last summer:
Determination—not to faint
All is well, now that I understand what catalyzed my sudden drop in blood pressure, causing me to collapse to the pavement while buckling Ravi into her car seat —the only thing that saved me from losing consciousness completely was my determination to muster the mental acuity that ensured Ravi's safety, because the temperature outside was over 108 degrees, and my precious grand daughter was sitting in a hot car ...
Sunday November 12, 2017
So how was my determination to remain semi conscious influenced by imagination? Before succumbing wholly to an oxygen-deprived state of mind, I imagined this sweltering situation causing Ravi harm, and thus did fear stimulate a surge of adrenaline energizing my dizzied think tank to function (while lying on the pavement) just long enough to dial for help before relaxing my will to lie limp unable to move so much as a muscle.
As imagination pumped up fear-based determination, mind control saved the day.
