Any person attending two types of thinking: productive and unproductive.

• productive thinking help set goals and achieve planned, to make decisions, develop, strengthen relationships and improve the quality of life. Of those born efficiencies.
• unproductive thoughts cause worry to dive into dreams, doubt, err.

The more productive thoughts in my head, the more opportunities you have to manage your life. Therefore, let's see, what occupied your "hard drive", but the first present consciousness in the form of a rectangle.

Unproductive thoughts that fill your head

Thoughts about the past

• "And what if I had done in this situation differently?"
• "Here I am nalazhal ..."
• "How good it was last spring ..."

The past can analyze and draw conclusions. And you can think about something good that you support. But the experience of the situation over and over again or bump into nostalgia is unproductive. In the past, nothing has changed.

Thoughts of the future

• "That would be cool when ..."
• "Damn, and suddenly will not work ..."

As in the past, in the future, you can not act. It has not come yet.

Productive thinking about the future - it is planning. But we often allow our minds to seize the future in the form of dreams or fears. They provoke emotions, but do not help to make efficiencies.

victim thought

• "I was in the way, distracted, fed ..."
• "I can not change it ..."

thoughts casualties It arises every time we pass responsibility to other people and circumstances and recognize in its impotence.

More productive to focus on what is in our power. Otherwise, we are in position of the observer in relation to their own lives.

distractions

• "So, what sort of new memes ..."

Distracting you distracted yourself. This can not be avoided, can only be minimized: follow the schedule to develop management skills and attention to set the rules of communication.

doubts

• "What if I still have enough information ...»

Doubts arise because of the uncertainty and the feeling that "there is still time."

Decisions provide information and missed - no. If you start to do something, you know, it turned out at you or you made a mistake (in the latter case, you will know what to avoid). Do not start - will not budge.

It is possible to develop rules decision making for those situations when you're in doubt.

productive thinking

errors

Faulty thinking can not be avoided. And although they do not lead to efficiencies (except by accident), yet they are productive.

A deliberate mistakes provide material for making the right decisions in the future.

These productive thoughts

Can have two directions:

• Mysledeystvie: Analysis, prompting internal order, clarifying values, vision of the future and so on.
• Act: Decision-making, the formation of specific intentions and their implementation.

Thanks to productive thoughts, we change our lives for the better. They should cherish.

What to do

Unproductive thoughts can capture the consciousness of the whole. Often, this is what happens: you can lament all day about any failure and to point fingers or to engage in empty prozhektorstvom.

The good news is that by freeing the mind from unproductive thoughts, you will gain resources for the conscious control of their lives. As you can imagine, this is not a one-time job.

We need to develop the habit of analyzing the contents of his mind and remove the excess.
