The human brain doesn’t understand negative concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Are you ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t think about elephants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can’t tell the brain what not to do. It ends up emphasizing it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s very important to switch to a positive mindset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead of telling kids “Don’t eat on the sofa,” you should say “Eat at the table.” That’s the reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You should tell people what you want, not what not to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pilots know this well, thinking “Don’t hit that obstacle” often leads to hitting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you focus on the obstacle, you’ll be exposed to it enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you seen how skiers avoid trees? How do they do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you keep thinking “Avoid the tree,” eventually all you see is the tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Instead, think “Follow the path” or “Follow the snow trail.” Then you’ll only see the path.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s the same for you. If you focus on the obstacle, you’ll only see the obstacle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What path to choose is up to you. It’s a matter of perspective.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t take off your clothes \u2192 Keep your clothes on<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don’t eat on the sofa \u2192 Eat at the table<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
