How Can You Benefit From Interrupting The Mental Pattern
Today for me was a strange day and I just couldn’t seem to focus and realizing this I knew by interrupting the mental pattern I could refocus. I wasn’t sure how I was going to go about this, but I just knew I needed to.
How is interrupting the mental pattern possible
Since I couldn’t come up with a solution for interrupting the mental pattern I decided to do something different, so I went out to eat for a change. I was listening to music and trying to just chill and get into the groove of things when someone pulled out in front of me. I slammed on my breaks and we never hit, but everything on the seat of my car flew onto the floor. I stopped for a minute and just kind of caught my breath. Someone who saw it happen yelled over to see if I was fine, and I was, so I laughed and said that scared me to death. I then drove off and I turned the music down, and started to realize how lucky I was that we did not collide. My hands were shaking but you know what I realized? My thought pattern had changed. Whatever were bothering me earlier had just vanished and the only thing going through my head was relief for how lucky I was for not hitting the other car.
Realistic ways for interrupting the mental pattern
I realize that my example of what happened to me today is not a good way for interrupting the mental pattern unless you like to live on the edge. I’m going to give you some real examples. On occasions when I get a bad email or something happens that isn’t so good, I will start laughing about it. Laughing is a great way to interrupt the thought pattern because laughter changes the typical angry to a not so bad feeling. You can also start making funny noises that you find to be comical. A book I am reading right now says to put a rubber band on your wrist and snap it every time you say something negative. It hurts and so you change your thought pattern because of the discomfort. I’m sure there are a lot more ways, but here is a good starting point.
What is the benefit for interrupting the mental pattern?
The benefit for interrupting the mental pattern is huge. For a start it will help you to stop thinking about things that are unproductive on the fly. If something makes you mad, it will help you to get back in a good place faster. The bottom line is that you should be able to control your thoughts, and learning to do this will make you a much wealthier person because you will be able to put yourself into the right mindset at will.
So you should be able to see that interrupting the mental pattern is a good thing to have control over, and that it can be done like anything else with the right practice. Just being able to do this will allow you to keep your thoughts under control and to put yourself into state at the snap of your fingers. Talk to you later!
