Feel free to adjust your mindset to the channel you want most
Taylor points out: "One must regulate the state of mind and body at all times in order to control the brain's response. Everything we do is about pursuing pleasure and avoiding pain, but if we adjust our mindset in time, we will have a whole new understanding of pleasure and pain.
Everyone's physical and mental state is conditioned by the nervous system. When we are exposed to a variety of things, the body naturally produces a corresponding state, which can be passive and negative, or it can be positive and energetic. However, most people don't know how to control this state.
Have you ever suddenly lost sight of a person's name? Or suddenly forgot how to write a word? Why is this happening? Does this indicate that your memory is declining? Of course not. Whether you can do something depends not on your ability, but on your physical and mental state at the time.
If you can get the hang of getting yourself into a positive state, you'll be able to achieve great results that you didn't even expect. Your cognition is not conditioned by your own state at the time, and cognition influences the judgment you make about things. Therefore, if you want to improve your ability to do things, then you need to change your physical and mental state first, so that you can discover your unlimited potential.
How can I change my physical and mental state? A professor of psychology at Harvard University used a color television set to describe the image. If you want a TV to look great for color and sound, the first thing you need to do is plug it in and turn it on. In the same way, when you have a positive state, it's like plugging yourself in. When you're listless and depressed, it's like a TV that loses power, unable to convey sound and image.
Once your TV is plugged in, you'll need to use your remote to select the right channel to see the program you want to watch. In the same way, as far as your psychological condition is concerned, the direction of your attention is like an electric channel, and when you focus on anything that interests you, it is like choosing the right channel, and your feelings will become stronger. So, if you don't like a certain Xi of your own, change the channel immediately and tune it to the right channel.
We all react differently to anyone and everything in our lives, and it's up to you to choose what kind of reaction you want, just like choosing a channel with a remote control. As for the ways to change the channel, there are two ways: the first is to change your mood, and the second is to divert your attention.
Since your emotions directly affect your state, what kind of state you want to be in you is achieved by changing your emotions.
Years ago, Anthony Robin, an American potential motivator, was invited by John Denver to help him find a breakthrough in his career. Denver is a well-known country singer who has written many popular songs, and more importantly, he has an easy-going personality, so he quickly became popular.
When Robin learned about the background of Denver's previous famous songs, Robin discovered that Denver almost always got his inspiration after doing a certain sport, such as skiing, flying a small plane, or racing a car. One thing these activities have in common is "speed", which makes him secrete a lot of adrenaline, which, together with the beautiful scenery along the way, gives him a steady stream of inspiration to create many good works. After that, his career was constrained because of a lack of exercise. So Robin suggested that he change his life Xi and do more exercise, and as a result, Denver quickly regained his self-confidence and inspiration began to flow back in.
Our potential has never disappeared, and if you want to tap into it, just put yourself in a state where you can unleash it.
After a rainy day, when children find a small pond, they usually run in it happily and play around; But adults are different, most people will walk around the pond, and not only that, but sometimes they will constantly complain. If you want to live an optimistic and positive life, then control the joys and sorrows of your mood and let yourself look energetic. You must know that your greatest right in life is to have an optimistic expectation for your future.
