Got a problem? What’s the best way to handle a problem in today’s push-button society?
Well … no guarantees, but here’s one method that works for me (and helps keep me from ever getting stressed-out): think about all the pieces, then toss them together and let them simmer in the back of your mind. It takes some practice, but I believe anyone can reach the point where their mind solves the problem for them while they’re off doing other things.
All your experience and knowledge and facts and decision-making ability and a ton of other variables can be brought to bear in your subconscious mind. All the effort is below your level of consciousness, so it looks for all the world like you are doing nothing. Which is exactly what you SHOULD do - nothing. Except, maybe, to gently stir the ingredients from time to time, to ensure they are all in the mix. Then sometime over the next few hours … or days … your “mental stew” will have cooked.
You will get some inkling … maybe it’s just a feeling in the pit of your stomach … of which way you should jump in this particular instance. Call it “instinct,” call it whatever you want. But trust it. This instinct is the result of your subconscious mulling over all the circumstances, and spitting out its conclusions.
Try it. And listen to the voice when it gives you the answer. Trust it. You are trusting your own knowledge and experience … and they will combine to give you better, faster solutions than you’ve had before from endlessly analyzing all parts of the problem.
