In the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham at Christmas, these reindeer are painted on a wall and appear to be pulling the bench that homeless people use as a bed. There are plenty of reasons why the monkey mind has become harder to control in the modern world. People today are often regularly juggling multiple tasks, while technology is constantly at our fingertips, wherever we are, meaning that we never have to be bored. Recognising that multitasking doesn’t work and focusing on tasks individually can help reduce constant thinking and enhance your sense self-awareness. When you’re eating food, genuinely enjoy it and take in each flavour. If you’re cleaning your room, try cleaning it without listening to anything and see if you did the job better or faster. By focusing on one task at a time, we become less distracted and more able to retain focus. 4. Choose how you react.

But consider this: We actually benefit from having the monkey on our side. The monkey keeps us on our toes and reminds us to stay on top of our busy lives. In fact, research actually shows that repeated thoughts create neural pathways. This means that the more you are able to focus on the positive aspects of your life, the more permanent those pathways become. This piece is located on two sides of a garage, where it seems to show a child playing in the snow at Christmas time.This artwork was produced close to a boys club in Bristol and is said to have caused quite a stir. The club’s owner intended to raise funds from the artwork, but the local council claimed the door for themselves instead. So is the mental gap between monkeys and human beings closing or widening? In a sense, both: if Santos is right, monkeys manage to navigate complex social hierarchies, hiding from and deceiving others as necessary, all without an ability that human beings develop by the age of 4. The more she works with monkeys, the more Santos is convinced that their abilities are limited to specific contexts and tasks, such as competing for food or establishing dominance. It's rather like the honeybee dance, a fantastically ingenious way to communicate geographic information. Still, honeybees can't use it to talk about their feelings. "My guess," says Hauser, "is that we will eventually come to see that the gap between human and animal cognition, even a chimpanzee, is greater than the gap between a chimp and a beetle." Perhaps, Santos says. Monkeys can reason quite competently about human beings' intentions with respect to grapes, but only by imputing to them what they themselves experience: a readiness to grab and hoard whenever possible. She speculates that it is our capacity for language that enables us to understand mental states different from our own. We may not be hungry now, but because we have a word for the concept we can imagine what it feels like. "The more you hang out with monkeys," she says, "the more you realize just how special people really are." The British street artist Banksy has lost a second trademark battle, this time over his famous monkey image. The ruling, published by the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) yesterday, follows a decision in September to strip Banksy of the trademark of his Flower Thrower work.

This work of art is comprised of two separate pieces. This half depicts a girl with a long green skipping rope seen moving across the ground, where it connects to a different painting. Buddha described the human mind as being so busy and overwhelmed, it was as if it had monkeys in it that continued to jump from branch to branch, chattering and screaming. Many have debated over the years on the purpose of this work, but most settle on ideas of love, the innocence of children, and hope. 24.The Thinker MonkeyInstead of doing multiple tasks simultaneously, try to focus on one thing at a time. We also might think we’re being more productive by multitasking at work; however, the truth is, this has a negative effect on our productivity and mental health. Banksy here in this work makes a comment on how blank walls are just empty, boring spaces until they are decorated by something better. Each branch and monkey represents a human thought or emotion that is trying to gain the most attention. One monkey that is particularly loud is fear, which tries to take over every other thought in the mind by pinpointing everything that may go wrong.
