February 1st, 2011Just got a comment from one of our Blog regulars who is having a hard time. Their comment to my last post about, ‘thinking out of the box’, was
”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
Act differently – Literally, be really nice or really nasty – ANYTHING to remind your brain it has more than one option!
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.
When 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.
Thanks for these word of wisdom. I will try to remember these on my ‘down days’, that’s if my brain decides to function in a normal capacity. I know these words of wisdom are correct, I just have to have the strength to put them into place. I know in time I will get stronger. Thanks again.
