Master the following 6 ways of thinking to make your heart extremely powerful: ##1. Insensitiveness, simplifying things. Many times, we will cause ourselves a lot of unnecessary troubles because of our oversensitivity. We think too much and take other people’s words and actions as hints or comments about ourselves, thus falling into emotions of self-doubt and self-blame. Insensitivity is a way of thinking that allows us to simplify things. It does not make us become numb or indifferent, but allows us not to over-interpret and associate, but to directly believe other people’s expressions. For example, when someone says, “You look a little tired today,” we should not think, “Does he think I’m not energetic?” I’m definitely a little tired." When we use blunt force to deal with things, we will reduce a lot of unnecessary internal friction and make ourselves more relaxed and confident. ##2. Quickly stop your negative emotions Negative emotions are a normal human reaction, which can help us be alert to dangers and improve problems. But if we allow negative emotions to continue to fester, it can have serious consequences for our physical and mental health. Quickly stopping our negative emotions is a way of thinking that allows us to adjust our mentality in time. It does not allow us to escape or suppress our emotions, but allows us to face and solve problems with a positive attitude. For example, when we encounter setbacks or failures, we should not blindly blame ourselves or others, nor should we be immersed in pessimism and helplessness. Instead, we should promptly interrupt the emotional depression of our minds and tell ourselves that “everything will happen for the best.” I", “allow everything to happen”. Then, we can do things that will release our emotions, such as exercising, listening to music, chatting, writing diaries, etc., and try to pull ourselves out. When we deal with things by quickly stopping our negative emotions, we will reduce a lot of unnecessary pain and make ourselves stronger and more optimistic. ##3. Understand life as a series of points. Many times, we ignore the present because we focus too much on the past or the future. We will be upset and regretful about past mistakes or regrets, and we will also be anxious and worried about future uncertainties or difficulties. This will cause us to lose the joy and meaning of life. Understanding life as a succession of points is a way of thinking that allows us to focus on the present. It does not make us forget the past or give up on the future, but makes us realize that there is only one eternal present in life. For example, when we are doing something, we should not think about its impact on the past or future, nor should we worry about whether it will be successful or perfect. Instead, we should devote ourselves to it wholeheartedly. When we understand life as a succession of points, we will find that every moment is a new beginning and a gift worth cherishing. In this way, we will gather our energy to form a strong force field and stabilize our emotions. In fact, action itself is the best way to solve anxiety, and action can only be carried out in the present. ##4. Just start when you decide to do something. Many times, we procrastinate or give up on what we want to do because of excessive pursuit of perfection. We will feel that we are not ready and need more knowledge or skills. We will also worry that the results we produce will not meet our own or other people’s expectations, thus losing the motivation and confidence to act. Deciding to do something and getting started is a way of thinking that can help us overcome procrastination and perfectionism. It does not lead us to disregard quality or consequences, but it leads us to realize that completion is more important than perfection. For example, when we want to do something, don’t worry about whether we are fully prepared or not, don’t think about the outcome, just start doing it. Even if you fall down when you step out, it is much better than doing nothing and being anxious. And you can only continue to do it if you start doing it. When we decide to do something and start directly, we will find that action itself is a kind of fun and accomplishment, as well as an opportunity to learn and improve. In this way, we will stimulate our potential, develop a strong sense of self-efficacy, and make ourselves emotionally positive. ##5. Don’t rely on external approval. Many times, we lose ourselves because we care too much about other people’s opinions. We will change our thoughts or behaviors to cater to others’ expectations or evaluations, and we will also feel frustrated or lost because we do not receive praise or support from others. This will cause us to lose confidence and self-esteem. Not relying on external approval is a way of thinking that allows us to maintain our self-worth. It does not make us arrogant or arrogant, but allows us to realize that our own value does not depend on the eyes of others. For example, when we do something, we should not expect or seek affirmation or feedback from others, nor should we doubt or deny ourselves because of other people’s criticism or denial. Instead, we should evaluate and reward ourselves according to our own standards and goals. When we do not rely on external recognition, we will find that we are an independent and complete individual with our own unique and excellent qualities and abilities. In this way, we will reflect our own value, form a strong sense of self-identity, and make ourselves emotionally peaceful. ##6. Expect the worst outcome. Many times, we bring ourselves a lot of stress and disappointment by over-expecting good outcomes. We will take something as too important or too difficult to achieve, and we will also exaggerate or be too negative about the impact of something after it happens. This will cause us to lose our calmness and rationality. For example, when many people encounter telecommunications fraud, they fall into panic and despair because they did not expect that they would be deceived. If we can be more vigilant, realize that we may be deceived, and take preventive measures in time, then even if we are really deceived, we can stop losses in time and protect our own interests.
