mind
Seat of thought
We use mind to talk about consciousness.
This meaning is reflected in dozens of common expressions, such as change your mind, keep it in mind, speak your mind, cross your mind, and lose your mind.
Mind can be contrasted with heart or body, depending on which aspects of the mind are being emphasized.
If you mind something, you pay attention to it.
If you don’t mind something, you have no objection to it.
