Mind Tickling: The Jumbled Words…

Anagrams are words that when jumbled will create a new word. Here are five anagrams that make sense with each other and my explanation of why.

1. Earth – Heart: From EARTH, when we omit H and put in front, the new word is HEART. This is the main reason why we are alive on earth, to have a humble and happy heart that is ready to give and love unconditionally and truly. Having a giving and loving heart is our primary mission as we are just passersby. As the saying goes, do what you can do today for we do not know what will happen tomorrow, so give out your best and do everything out of love for God and others.

2. Stress – Rests: I often hear people, ‘I am STRESSed, I am stressed, what I should do?’ The answer is simple, take some RESTS. If you think you cannot carry on and you feel stressed about the situation, just stop for a while, take a break from what you are doing and rest. Even God rested on the seventh day. Be mindful of your mental health as well.

3. Listen -Silent: To LISTEN is to be SILENT. We use our ears when we listen not our mouths. Listening often leads to understanding and understanding leads to a good relationship. If you value your relationship more than your ego, make sure to be ready to listen and be silent.

4. Restful – Fluster: This is an antigram, words that when jumbled mean the opposite of each other. GooglingFLUSTER means to put into a state of agitated confusion or being upset, while RESTFUL means being at rest or quiet. When you feel agitated, the best thing to do is to be quiet, breathe and think. Take at least 15-30 minutes of walking. Oxygenate your brain so it will be relaxed and you would feel RESTFUL than feeling FLUSTER

5. Binary – Brainy – BINARY is a number system that only uses 0 and 1 to denote a state of either LOW or HIGH, OFF or ON respectively. This is the language of computers where everything is coded using 1’s and 0’s depending on how many bits (binary digits) the computer can process. The explanation of binary is somewhat I find BRAINY and I think only the brainy can speak to the computer and understand how everything is decoded and encoded using the binary system.

How about you? Do you know any anagram or antigram that makes sense with each other? If you happen to know more, please share it with others, because the more you share, the more you possess the learning. Enjoy googlingand using these anagrams in real life.
