A distraction may provide the break you need to disengage from a fixation on the ineffective solution

Especially if you have thought long and hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can turn into what scientist call the “incubation period” for your ideas.

The subconscious mind has been working extremely hard to solve the problems you face and now that you let your mind wander, it can surface and plant those ideas into your conscious mind. Open / Comment

2022-05-25 23:39:06 Labeling and Mislabeling

Those who label or mislabel will habitually place labels that are often inaccurate or negative on themselves and others.

“He’s a whiner.” “She’s a phony.” “I’m just a useless worrier.” These labels tend to define people and contribute to a one-dimensional view of them, paving the way for overgeneralizations to move in.

Labeling cages people into roles that don’t always apply and prevents us from seeing people (ourselves included) as we really are. Open / Comment

We all want to be happy, but if you want to be healthy, you should rather search for meaning, says a study led by Barbara Fredrickson.

They have studied the genes of people who are engaging in a lot of activities which makes them feeling good, but lack true meaning (like going out extensively) and the results were shocking: they had the same gene expression patterns as people exposed to chronic adversity.

The group suggests stop running after momentary joys and start looking for activities with meaning. Open / Comment

2022-05-17 22:43:10 No single act will uncover more creative powers than forcing yourself to create consistently

For Markus Zusak that meant writing and re-writing 200 times. For you, it might mean singing a song over and over until it sounds right. Or programming a piece of software until all the bugs are out, taking portraits of your friends until the lighting is perfect, or caring for the customers you serve until you know them better than they know themselves.

You can make any job a work of art if you put the right energy into it. Open / Comment
