“Whenever you feel highly stressed, you will notice that you have a significant amount of thinking going on.” – Joseph Nguyen
In the following video, you'll learn the difference between thoughts and thinking, and why you should often P.A.U.S.E. your thinking. Favorite Takeaway: A small task—like replying to an email or making a phone call—should take five minutes. But once overthinking creeps in, your brain starts spinning: "What if I say the wrong thing? What if they judge me? What if I mess it up and look unprepared?" A task equivalent to squishing an ant starts to feel like slaying a fire-breathing dragon. Once started on a task, overthinking clogs mental space and prevents creative solutions from emerging. Albert Einstein understood this—whenever he was stuck on a difficult problem, he didn't think harder—he played the violin. He quieted the noise in his head and let the answer emerge. Be like Einstein and enter a state of non-thinking to solve your toughest problems and produce something remarkable. Have a productive week! - Nathan P.S.
