It is a common phenomenon in the evenings, when we are relaxed in our beautiful bed and we try to rest our suffering body, a lot of thoughts come to our mind and keep us awake.
These thoughts are completely undesirable, because in addition to not letting us sleep, they stress us out and cause us anxiety.
And it’s really tiring, all day long to be fully stressed and stressed, and the night comes and we get anxious and irritated.
So what happens, according to Poppy Jamie, creator of the app Happy not Perfect and author of the book of the same name, is a “confrontation”, in a way, between the brain and the mind.
Yes do not be surprised, these two are completely different things. The brain is the medium, the tool of the mind. The mind uses the brain, changes it and generally it commands. The brain simply obeys the mind.
From a functional point of view, then, the brain is the voice of logic, which is programmed to execute commands and carry out the tasks assigned to it.
Instead, the mind is the source, the carrier of emotions. It’s the only way you experience life, it’s your experiences, your wants and your thoughts. That is, the mind is energy, which produces energy.
So when the mind says something else and the brain does something else, then a misunderstanding is created, which naturally creates confusion and irritation. If, for example, you forget to do something, the brain will ring a bell and then the mind will start looking for what it is. Or if something has bothered you and you have not processed it yet, then the bell will ring again, and the brain will wake up.
Once such a process begins, it takes the form of an avalanche, which does not stop and finally leaves you awake all night.
So what needs to be done is to take control. That is, to learn to control both your mind and your brain, as a kind of intervention, where you will train both of these parts of you, to be inactivated when you want to rest. So install a sleeping mode in your software.
5 tips to stop worrying.
Suspension of operation
In order to be able to escape from this “dirty” game, which this destructive duo has set up for you, you must also play cunningly.
So activate your body, making the brain busy with a specific activity, eg a night walk, reading or even night cleaning (only if you do not have neighbors). In this way, you will engage the brain and calm your mind. 1-0
Solve the problem now
So if you have left something or you feel bad because you had a fight with a friend, then take the reins and do something now. For example, send an email, a message and generally do something fast, to get out of this mood.
Click “for later”
If No. 2 does not work, then arrange with your mind, to deal with what “eats” you, a specific time the next day. The mind will give the command to the brain, which will lock it and the next will return it, as you requested.
Be realistic
Obviously you have to assess the seriousness of all that worries you. So make a mental bucket and throw there everything that is not feasible and realistic to make.
Ignore it
You see that there is a great promoter (the mind) and he persists. Well, then do something irrational. Do gymnastics, do hair removal, make your wardrobe and the like.
You will see how you will disorganize your thoughts and defeat the “enemy”.
Extra tip: it means how you can use “heavy” artillery, yoga and meditation. I start with deep breaths and go on with the victory.
