"its not as easy as that'.
THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT COMMENT - So despite the fact im going cross-eyed from staring at emails for the last 16 hours i thought it important to address ASAP.
You’re right! As long as you are around and doing the things you usually do, it’s REALLY hard to think out of the box – Why on earth do you think we made such a drastic move. To give our brains a chance to think different thoughts. So to expand your thinking try to :-
- Listen to different music
- Eat different foods
- Go different route to work
- Talk to different people
- Read different magazine
- Do different exercise
- Drink different drinks
Thinking out of the box is hard when your brain is put on autopilot everyday.
Naturally we like autopilot because it’s comfortable, safe, familiar, relatively efficient and no effort!
Unfortunately its also soul destroying, brain decaying, boring, unsatisfying and the greatest cause of depression in society today.
So its your choice - If you want more out of your brain, give it a different perspective – I have been ABSOLUTELY STUNNED at the alternate perceptions and solutions my brain has come up with since I got our of my routine. I have solved issues in 1 week I had not come near to fixing in 10 years.
Hope this helps

Enjoy the 'journies ' in life that come your way.......turn every negative thought into a positive one and regard it as a blessing.
ReplyDeleteWhen things get tough......there is always light at the end of that tunnel.
You just have to get over the 'hiccups' in life and enjoy the time along the way.
Life is too short to waste on negative thoughts.
My Buddhism and Martial Arts teacher John recently set me a task of looking for the 'joy' in my life. It was hard at first, but as I got more aware of what I was doing that was not 'joyful' but was rather connected to bitterness due to the suffering I felt I'd experienced, I managed to find more and more simple joys there.
ReplyDeleteIt's a worthwhile exercise, and will help you see just how much you really have in your life that is worthwhile. Glass half full? You betcha. :)
