Untangled your Thoughts

In our daily life, how many time we have to untangled things? Our earphone cord, our phone charger cord, our hair, our shoelaces….. but do you know that our mind can also got tangled----- and desperately need to be untangled? I illustrate that tangled thoughts are caused by too many different thoughts crowding our head, that they got tangled up to each other. And when it becomes so tangled up, our mind kind of get S.T.U.C.K.

STUCK : This is when you are overwhelmed by too much thoughts in the head, too much things to do, too many people to please, everything requires priority etc etc. Can not take anything anymore. Stuck.

The key to this is to take time to untangled the thoughts by dealing with one of it one at the time. Dr Caroline Leaf, a cognitive neuroscientist, introduce the simple method of ASK, ANSWER and DISCUSS method.

Choose one of the urgent thoughts that has been bugging you, and start to ASK yourself on it, ANSWER it yourself. Then make time to DISCUSS it with yourself --or with someone that you trust, and try to come up with a decision on how to handle this thought.

When this become a habit, you will automatically reject thoughts that are not useful, thoughts that are unhealthy, thoughts that are not important. This screening tools works diligently to screen all thoughts in our head, ones to accept ones to reject.

If you need help to explore your thinking process, I would love to discuss it with you. Or to have a good based of understanding first, I recommend you to join pinkidea ONLINE CLASS “Think Better, Live Better”
