Unlock Your Mind

We all get knotted in our own minds and we cant see things clearly. We keep thinking about something and even though we realize we are not getting anywhere, we continue to stress our mind in the same direction, with no possible end.

For times like these Doug King said

“Learn to pause…or nothing worthwhile will catch up to you.”

One of the best ways to remove the lock in your mind is to pause and get away from the problem for sometime. Take a Break like Kitkat says, it may be a few minutes, a few hours or few days. Taking a break and getting involved in some other mental stimulation can actually recharge you and your wiring which definitely allows you to get back to the problem with a much better and alert perspective.

Take a walk in the park, have a good conversation, listen to music, play with your little ones.

The reason why this works is because when we re-approach the problem after a break, we look at it with somewhat different set of assumptions. The human mind is complex remember. This allows you to back off a little bit and look at the big picture again which you might be completely missing since you were so engrossed in the details.
