You probably noticed that our brain is constantly thinking back to the problems that surround us. But in fact it is rather a waste of effort and increased stress. Whatever the cause: negligent colleague or complex customer - those little things that can capture all of our thoughts.
Carl Stayb noticed that 99% of the unrest and trouble - just trying to self-justification. For example, came from a sleepless night, anxiety idea of solving the problem is unlikely to be such a brilliant morning. Our brain is simply trying to calm swarming thoughts and gives almost no first-encountered solution.
When we set out to consider any problem from all sides, it is difficult not to be tempted to think that aspect alone and over and over again. Thoughts swirling like squirrel in a cage, but the output is rarely seen something new. Always stop the themselves, do not let yourself chasing thoughts around. It is better to start doing.
Karl found solution is to write all my thoughts just before bedtime. And he does it almost in bed, and if a thought does not relax - it is better to spend five minutes on the record.
But if some crazy idea there already in the process of falling asleep or even destroy your slumber - should not succumb to the temptation write it, because most likely it's not worth it, rest in this case is more important, focus on relaxing your muscles and proper breathing.
Carl notes that the balanced approach to the thoughts enabled him to better assess the thought. Instead, rat race in the bed appeared the pleasure of relaxation. But the paper beside the bed at the same time will not allow you to lose evening ideas.
Throwing out ideas on paper, not letting them swarm, you will not only improve your sleep, but also get more time for family, because nothing will distract you from the conversation with his wife and son. Page paper and pen proved to be a good decision for Carl, maybe they can work for you, because most of the time control systems begin with it - write down all and free your mind.
