Don’t Try To Think Your Way Out Of Everything

This doesn’t make sense at first sight, but when you think too hard, you often come up with bad ideas. That’s because you can’t actively think your way out of everything. We’ve all had good ideas while taking a shower. That’s because we’re not actively thinking.

It’s good to let your attention wander and stop thinking. This is also a part of controlling your mind. You have the ability to decide when you want to let go of your thoughts. Similar to relaxing your muscles when you lay on the couch after a tough day, you can let loose of your thoughts. You can do that in many different ways.

Some like to take a yoga class. Others prefer to meditate every day. The medium doesn’t matter. I’ve learned that there are many ways to relax. However, only one thing is critical You don’t need anything to relax but yourself.

You don’t need yoga, exercise, meditation, music, scents, or whatever it is you think you need. Let go of everything. You can escape your outside world and go inside your mind to find peace. If you can’t do that right now, train yourself.

Become aware of your thoughts, observe them, and let them go. That’s the whole process. You can do that anytime, anyplace. You don’t need a different scenery or class to do those things. Let go and relax. And do it as often as you think is necessary.

You’ll find that the moments you’re not thinking are just as important as the times you are actively thinking.
