Chapter 8 Empty yourself and control the amount of filling in your heart (1)
Having decided that something can and should be done, it is only a matter of finding out how to get it done.

Relax yourself to activate the automatic success mechanism
In the past, it seemed that we didn't know what stress was, because we lived without stress.Back then we didn’t have cell phones, noise from cars.Without electronic gadgets that put us in a state where we can always get in touch with others, we don't put ourselves under the pressure to react immediately.Back then we couldn't see some of the social phenomena that were horrific, blind and happy or.Now, everyone has stress, and we are in a stressful age.We have made worry, anxiety, fear including stress an integral part of our lives.

Nowadays, most people have less and less leisure time and less and less time for rest.Commuting traffic jams, overtime, and large-scale and fast information flow, the life we ​​face is becoming more and more complicated.Compared with the control psychology mentioned above, overcoming stress and anxiety is particularly important in today's society.We have to tell ourselves that people don't have to be under great pressure all their lives.So let's figure this out first: God fully prepares for our lives through various complicated processes, so that no matter what era we live in, we can live successfully.Of course this includes our brain, which is able to respond to life and society in any situation, naturally and effortlessly.In fact, our mind doesn't understand being overworked or stressed because it's limited.

The problem before us is that the automatic creation mechanism is often ignored.Instead, try to use conscious thinking, belief, and willpower to complete tasks and solve problems.It is the task of the mind to ask a question and analyze it, but the conscious mind is never capable of solving a problem.But at this time, if you think about solving the problem, your pressure will definitely increase.It is better to learn to leave problems and tasks to the automatic mechanism of success, and your stress will definitely be relieved.

don't have to walk on eggshells
To give a simple example, we simply cannot pick up a pencil from the table by conscious thought or belief or willpower.Therefore, when a person does things entirely by conscious thinking, belief, and willpower, he will become overly nervous, tread on thin ice, and be afraid of the result.At this time, he could not listen to anyone's comfort and advice.William Dean, director of the American Psychologists Association, once said that nowadays people are too nervous, too concerned about the results, and anxious, but there is no need for them. They can have a better way of life.That is, once a decision has been made, and all the actions taken to achieve it are part of the normal day-to-day, we completely let go of responsibility and focus only on the outcome.Suffice it to say, once this is done, your mental system unburdens, becomes more relaxed, and it becomes more useful than you can imagine.

But it should be noted that this method of relaxation is completely different from simple intuition.Just as many people object to entrusting important decisions and responsibilities to something as irrational as intuition.Our approach is pragmatic and rational.It is based on conscious rational thought.Then by constantly imagining with the self-image, you will give the task to your automatic mechanism, and you will complete your task without pressure.

use creative thinking
Countless designers, singers, writers, and inventors have gone through this process, and it can be said that our point of view is completely correct.Numerous facts tell us that creative ideas do not come from conscious thinking, but come naturally.That is to say, consciously put the problem aside and turn to other things.These creative ideas come after deep and conscious thinking about the problem as well.For example, it is like receiving some kind of inspiration or idea.You must first have a strong interest in current events and problems, and consciously think about them, collect all relevant practical information, and consider the feasibility of various courses of action.The most important thing is that there must be a strong desire to solve the problem, from the process of understanding it, think of the expected results.This process, extra worries and anxieties don't help, instead they get in the way of progress.

I believe that many people have had the experience of entrusting tasks to the subconscious mind, and the methods they came up with in this way have no results.When you feel cornered, why not play with the kids or go for a walk in the countryside and leave the entire task to the servos to do it.A successful person who is good at innovation and creation will often clearly grasp the goal and give it to the appropriate brain mechanism.In this way, he has no pressure at all to complete the task.

Some writers have had a similar experience, such as choosing a certain topic, he will understand it deeply, think about it, and then try his best to think hard for a period of time, and at the end of this period, he will make a decision.In other words, after clarifying the goal, you might as well put it aside first, and after a while your thinking will consciously return to your goal.At this time, you will find that your work has been completed and everything will fall into place.Conversely, if you're constantly worrying about your goal and anxious about its outcome, it won't help at all, and it might even prevent you from achieving it.

Not only inventors, writers, and designers use this method, but anyone.In other words, when you overcome the pressure you put on yourself, the servo mechanism automatically shifts into success mode.Help you achieve your goals.

be a creative person

Often people feel that this creative process is only for writers, inventors, designers, etc. who are good at creating.In fact, whether it is a company employee, student, teacher or even a chef, everyone can be a creative person, because everyone has a success mechanism.All people have the instinct to succeed, just as naturally as we see something and get the message "what is this" in our brain.It can be said that talent is actually more of a process, that is, a natural response of the human brain to work to solve problems. We mistakenly call it "talent", which is not the case.

Talent is more of a process than an inherited endowment.

In fact, each of us has a gift, and most of the time, it needs to be awakened, stimulated and used by ourselves.Because of this, genius is not what you think it is. Being a genius is not something in your self-image, but a process by which you activate your own success mechanisms.Only by understanding the true meaning of talent and how it can be mobilized and used can you build the message "I am a genius" in your self-image.

The secret to being a genius
The same way you generate innovative ideas applies to your own automatic success mechanisms that generate creative behavior and practice.

Whether it's doing anything, sports, playing the piano, dancing, or talking, the skill to do it is more than painstaking, conscious thinking of every movement, every detail, and every word.It's about relaxing and letting your automatic success mechanisms do the work for you.Creative expression is spontaneous, natural, and natural, and it is no less achieved through self-awareness and learning.Imagine, the most skilled dancer in the world, if you try to imagine every movement in her dance performance, not a single body language, then there is no doubt that she can't even complete a simple dance.In fact, she has already done a lot of thinking in the previous learning process, so she only needs to practice hard and repeat the perfect movements again and again until they become automatic and habitual.That is to say, when she reached a certain level, she was able to stop her conscious effort and give the dance to her own automatic success mechanism, which is what we often call the subconscious mind.The steps and levels of learning are divided into 4, which are:
1. Non-mastery under unconscious conditions;

2. Non-mastery under conscious conditions:

3. Mastery under conscious conditions;
4. Mastery under unconscious conditions.

When you are at the first level, you don't even know what you don't understand.Going to the second level, you will painfully discover that some things are very difficult for you.Until you enter the third level, you can already accomplish something, but you still encounter many setbacks in the process of completion. At this time, you still rely a lot on conscious thinking, and you still need to rely on perseverance to complete the task.When you finally reach the fourth stage, all the difficulties and setbacks you have encountered in the past have been completed and overcome.These four stages are inevitable for learning anything.Whether that kind of thing is opening bottle caps, or running a business.

The important thing is, through the above-mentioned psychological control skills, using self-prompt to supplement or replace reality, and realize the process of innovative practice, you will find that the above 4 learning steps are carried out very quickly, and the whole process is stress-free.This is undoubtedly exciting.

Remember not to hinder your innovation mechanism.Conscious efforts will instead hinder the mechanism of automatic innovation.In fact, the reason why some people feel nervous and tiptoe in public is very simple, because they consciously care about what they are doing in the moment.I am too concerned about whether this matter is reasonable and correct, and I am more worried about doing it poorly or the result.Although this is very tiring, they have a very clear understanding of every action, detail, and thought of themselves.Every action is decided after thinking about it.Before expressing each sentence, repeated words and sentences were carefully considered.We can say that such people are cautious, or reserved.That's right.But it would be more accurate to say that he was not restrained, but imprisoned his own innovative mechanism.If this person can relax properly, be less anxious, less concerned about gains and losses and consequences, they must be able to accomplish something creatively and naturally.He can do this, that is to say, he has achieved the real "self".Instead of being tired of worrying.

Just like a sport, the belief that you don't want to lose and work hard is right, but we can't really win with it.This is true for anything and for any occasion.In fact, it is precisely because of this belief that we have more pressure for no reason, and instead make some unnecessary mistakes.

[-] Ways to Let Your Innovation Mechanism Run Free

[-]. Once you decide to do something, use all your efforts to realize it, and don't think about having a chance to remedy it.

A friend of mine told me that he really likes gambling with the wheel, and why he likes it: to use worry before placing a bet, rather than after the wheel starts to spin.

So I said that anxiety and worry should be useful in planning and determining the success of a certain goal, but once a decision is made, the implementation of the decision becomes a normal part of life, and you can completely let go of worry and the so-called sense of responsibility , only focus on the result, and don't have to think about the consequences of this result.Follow your automatic mechanisms without restraint.Think of this phrase when doing anything.Taking the roulette wheel as an example, we can observe that many people don't seem to worry about betting at all before placing a bet, that is to say, they don't care much about success.But once the roulette wheel started to spin, they started watching intently.Worried about the outcome, nervous and anxious.How stupid that is.If they are worried and concerned about the success rate, why not do it before?Make the best possible bet amount, or decide not to take the risk at all.But once you decide to start gambling and the roulette wheel starts to spin, you can't control it at all, so it's better to relax and enjoy it.The tension and anxiety at this point is useless and a complete waste of energy.

I also began to reflect on myself, whether I have done such stupid things in my daily life.I often make snap decisions without adequate preparation, without assessing the risks in advance, or preparing alternatives if they fail.But when things start to go, like the wheels of a gamble, I stop worrying about how it will turn out and how I will be judged if it doesn't work out.That is to completely abandon all concerns and sense of responsibility for the result.Believe it or not, it does work.Your mind becomes more stable, you sleep better, you work harder, and things run more smoothly.

This method is still applicable to all kinds of chores in life.For example, I used to be very resistant to weekly family gatherings. I was always worried that I would make a fool of myself in front of my elders. Later, I told myself that it was stupid to think so.In fact, when I decided to go to a family reunion, I knew it would be unpleasant for me.If this kind of unhappiness affects your mood and emotions after participating, then you can actually tell yourself that you just need to participate and nothing else.In fact, you should think about the consequences before things happen. After you start, these considerations will be worthless.Anxiety and tension arise because we are always trying to escape it, to give ourselves an escape route.Even though these things have been decided, they cannot be changed.If you decide to do something wholeheartedly and don't avoid it at all, you're halfway there.I used to hate participating in various social activities, group activities, and even if I did, it was to deal with my family, to please my husband, or just because of work.Even when I went, there was still resistance inside, and the whole process was sullen, moody and uncommunicative.Then I thought, since I have to participate in these activities, I might as well make myself happy, so I try to be less resistant to it mentally.Yes, I did, and not only did I go to a lot of social events that I thought were stupid, but surprisingly, I even had a lot of fun.

During the research process, I communicated with many people, including all levels of society.At a seminar for business leaders, a senior manager told me something that I thought was very telling and thought-provoking when he said he often worried after making a decision: No one, he said, could We are born with the ability to judge things correctly. In fact, on the contrary, we make decisions and try our best to make them correct. This is the greatest expression and significance of leadership.In fact, we must understand that you can correct an irrational decision at any time, but if you just think about it and don't act, you can never turn back the clock, and your thoughts will never be useful.

Learn as much as you can about something before deciding to get it done so you can make an informed decision.Complete a self-image that you will do your best for your decisions, start with no turning back, and worry about how it will end.Start small, like having dinner with your family at a restaurant. Don’t be the person who orders and then hesitates. Just order your favorite food and close the menu.
