Want clear thinking? Resolve your “mind irritations,” by watching what’s going on in your head. It takes practice, but you can start right now. Sometimes a phone call you need to make quietly bothers you all day, just below consciousness. Maybe you’re worried about an upcoming meeting. How do you find and resolve these things?
Take a deep breath, close your eyes for a moment, and tune in to your mind. As you become aware of these stressors, do something to let them go. Make that phone call, or put it on your “to do” list, and your mind will let go of the concern for now. Sometimes bringing a problem to full consciousness and telling yourself, “There is nothing I can do about this until Friday,” will stop the unconscious worrying.
Start tuning into your mind, and you’ll find it becomes easier to recognise what is just below the surface, irritating you and sapping your brain power. Take care of those things, and clearer thinking is automatic. This is a powerful technique if you use it regularly.
