Think more

It’s not so much that I need to think more, it’s that I need to make the most of the time I have by myself and really think through my issues. I do a lot of thinking that goes nowhere and solves nothing. I want to be more productive with my thinking and actually come up with some solutions.

Also, I almost never think before I say something. I have been saying forever that I’ll start thinking before I talk, but when the time comes for me to open my mouth I suddenly realize that I have no idea what I’m about to say.

If I’m unsure of what needs to be said, I’m going to pause before I say ANYTHING and weigh my options. I’ll let you all know how this goes.

Sometimes, i forget to think.
I just do nothing.
People always complain how they couldn’t stop thinking, but i got the opposite problem!
I’m not dumb, or even better, i’m not as unintelligent as i should be in order not to be able to produce some fucking constant thoughts.
So, i’m working this out.
I really lose a lot of precious time that might actually be very creative if i THINK IT THROUGH!!
Yeah, and peeing and smoking helps too.

I mean , I need to think about meaningful things and digest whatever I learn during the day. Have a mental workout with new ideas, mental revisions, serious introspection etc.

i had a lot of time to think this summer. It was good, in the end. It’s good to learn how to be alone.

I’ve always been thinking. Thats what I say that I think more.. sometimes I think TOO MUCH and don’t do.. that’s why one of my goals is to think less and do more. Meaning to let go and just live.

man working at a coffee shop is amazing for thought. pulling espresso shots requires so little mental effort that all day long i can think about my art, my friends, life in general, anything i want. and if anyone tells me to think about anything else i can just tell them to fuck off and i can actually get paid for all this. not a bad way to spend a couple months of downtime…

Im so happy I started to think again! Take babysteps….start by reading Mental Floss (a magazine….consider it a mental task to figure out on your own how to get ahold of it) Call up friends from college, ask them what they’ve been reading. Remember how lucid and enlightening those 3 am discussions used to be? If you never had those 3 am discussions start now. The best thing that ever happened to me (besides my cats) is getting a job at a college. Im not taking any classes now but just walking around here makes me think. There are flyers and leaflets all over the place touting things these women think about all the time. I heard a news story on the radio about the posibility of leaglizing the shooting of feral cats in Wisconsin and let myself get really pissed about it even though I live nowhere near Wisconsin (its legan in Minnesota too in case you want to get pissed) but I googled the news story on the internet. I printed out a sheet with an address you could write to congress about to protest the idea (i.e. offer a solution via providing the address) and taped it to the wall outside my office. Within an hour a Spanish professor was knocking on my door wanting to talk about this cause. It snowballs. Make little connections here and there and next thing you know your brain is making all sorts of connections (new synapses). If you need more advise than this I can suggest a whole lot of really entertaining books on subjects you never knew anything about, like physics and American history. Let your mind go and the rest will followw

Unless you mean it some other way, I truelly believe that the ego (rational thinking) causes a lot more trouble then fixes…..of course you need some but if all your thinking about is how stupid you are then I really think that is the last thing you need.

Meditate.

It’s something I’ve always done…my brain never shuts off.

You feel like you have a tremendous amount of useful information and data in your head from various sources and over time, but have an inability currently to leverage it all in any intelligible way. A reminder to think more and organise the various aspects of our life would be useful…...
