If you want to shape your brain like a play dough and use its fuel more efficiently, we recommend that you take a look at these tactics.
Psychology gives us very powerful keys to the behavior of other people. But you also need to find the keys and know which lock to put them in. If you know how to use these keys, solving yourself and other people will be as easy as making a delicious omelet.
1. Think too much
If you think a lot about what you think and you can’t get your mind off those thoughts, the situation you are in shows that you value that subject at a very high rate. The more you value something, the more likely you are to become obsessed with it. For this reason, be careful not to overestimate anything in this universal realm of the stock market, which is called the world and where everything actually determines the value of our perception.
Keep in mind that the subjects you are obsessed with will also cause you to be easily guided. For example, giving too much importance to the opinions of others about you shows that you value the image you give to the outside world. If you tell this sensitive information to everyone, it is possible that you will be the target of all kinds of sedition operations.
For example, someone comes to you and says, “If you only knew what was said behind your back after you left the cafe the other day?” If he makes a sentence like this, it can upset your entire psychological balance and take you to stormy seas.
2. What you focus on affects your psychology
Whatever you are aware of, whatever it is, gets a chance to enter your mind. There is a zero percent chance that what you are not aware of or focused on has an impact on you. For this reason, if you control what to focus on and not to focus on, you will also take the steering wheel of your psychological state. For example, let’s say there is a person at work who does not greet and is rude wherever he sees it. If you focus on his rude behavior, after a while, he will start to become more and more uncomfortable with the situation, and as you become uncomfortable, your brain will move that rude person to higher positions in the threat rank.
As the threat of that vulgar person increases in your brain, your mind will now focus on his every millimeter movement. The end of this road will not lead to good places. But if you consciously avoid focusing on the friend who hasn’t had his share of this manners at the beginning of the job, after a while, your brain filters will step in and reduce it to the level of relevance you have in your life with a white cat living in Denmark. In short, what you focus on affects your psychology. If you focus on flowers, birds and beauty in life, you will feel more comfortable.
3. The human mind focuses first on what is just before it and what is below it
While you are sitting happily on a beautiful seaside and drinking your coffee, your vagrant mind does not look at that beautiful view, but turns its attention to the dog poop at your feet. Scientists say that this feature of our mind is actually dependent on our “survival” instinct, which dates back hundreds of thousands of years.
Accordingly, our ancestors living in the corners of the caves have evolved their minds by saying that “a snake may come out of a corner or a bear may attack while sleeping at night”, and by passing this filthy habit to us for generations, we have accustomed our minds to always looking under our noses. However, due to this nasty habit, we often fail to see the opportunities that come right under our noses. For example, you are looking for a job like crazy and you are obsessed with teleporting your resume to companies in only a few sectors. Because you see yourself only doing one job.
In this state of mind, your mind only focuses on finding a job in those areas, and your mind squints at the information of a close friend that “X firm is looking for someone just like you”. Then it will cause you to enter the “no, what am I going to do with them? I can’t do things like that anyway” mode.
If you feel stuck and helpless in life, chances are you can’t see the illuminated path of victory just ahead by looking at your feet. Lift your head a little.
4. There is an interesting key point for creativity
For example, let’s say you are trying to come up with new ideas on a subject, or you think “Let me find a business idea so that I can become rich and famous”. But in order for your brain, which has been used to thinking the same way for years, can create brand new ideas, you have to think in a completely different version. In other words, if you think of yourself with the personality you know and get used to, no new ideas will come out and pineapple will not grow on the apple tree. First of all, you have to know that there is no fixed personality, you just have to know that your mind is used to using a certain OS version.
So how will this happen? When thinking about an idea, you should think to yourself, “What kind of person can I be so that I like the ideas that will come up on such a subject” and then act as if you are that person.
For example, if you need to generate high-tech creativity, ask, “How would I handle the subject if I were someone like Jeff Bezos?” You have to ask the question to your mind computer. If your brain is too indoctrinated to tell the difference between role and reality and you give it the right information, for example, “How does Jeff Bezos think and what does he eat for breakfast?” If you save information like this on your hard drive, your brain will begin to offer you ideas for the role you want.
5. It’s no use thinking about things you can’t control
On the contrary, because you will waste your mental energy, you will not have any fuel to spend on really necessary matters. For example, when you go to a business meeting by plane, a delusion such as “I wonder if we will fall into the air gap” is to burn the gasoline of your mind in vain if you are not the pilot of that plane. It is to put on the seat belt that fell on you as a passenger, sit back and enjoy the flight, nibble on the sandwich served as a treat and come up with ideas for the meeting you go to by plane.
Or let’s say you have an important presentation to make. “I wonder if the audience will like the presentation” It’s useless to think so. Because you cannot control the taste and perception of others. All you can control is to create a presentation you like and present it as best you can. In short, if you spend your mental energy on things you can always control, your chances of living a successful and enjoyable life will increase.
