While I think I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying, I take issue with some of the semantics. What you are describing as “Mind” seems closer to “Self” than what I would call “Mind”. I consider the mind to be the abstract entity we use to experience the world. In my view, the mind is very much coupled to the brain.
Tying all of our experiential world to a single organ in the body doesn’t really do justice to the magnitude/scope of that experience, sure. But I think it’s wrong to call that experience “Mind”.
Obviously I don’t want to interfere with your self care, and think it’s very important to have a holistic view of self and your relationship to those around you when trying to be healthy, I just don’t think “Mind” is the right word to use for what you’re talking about.
