Every day we are bombarded with the tons of information. This information is not all stored. Our brain cannot decide which information is important and which is not. Regularly watched, read, listened information is stored in long long-term memory; this information helps us in the process of thinking and taking decisions. I have created a list of 5 which is in my opinion is helpful to think clearly.
1. Sleep!
Deprive your brain of sleep long enough and you’ll simply go crazy. Your brain needs sleep to organize. While sleeping brain cells gets aligned, They create more connections our learning gets cataloged. Don’t get enough sleep, and you’ll simply not think clearly.
2. Meditate.
Meditation is a focused concentration on right now. It is very different from sleeping. It gets your brain functioning in different wave patterns by clearing your thoughts and keeping your mind in the present—not worried about the future, not haunted by the past, but simply focused on right now. Your brain finds peace in mindful meditation, and that produces rejuvenation.
3. Experience beauty.
For experiencing things you don’t need creativity, but not all of us are creative types. Soak in what you find to be beautiful. Some find beauty in the purr of an engine, others find it in a baby’s laugh. This is what generations have referred to when they advise us to “stop and smell the roses.” Whether you find beauty in flowers, in a fast pitch at a baseball game, or in the grandeur of nature, “beauty appreciation” is the brain’s opportunity to stop and function in a different mode.
4. Experience the spiritual.
This isn’t your mother nagging you to go to church or temple. It’s an invitation to open your mind to awareness, of something beyond the physical and visible. Quantum theory and religious worship might give different experiences. Spirituality for different person can be different. For one spirituality in science other might find it in religion
5) Veg!
In addition to sleeping and meditating, your brain needs time to let go and roam where it may. You might “veg” by perusing Facebook or a magazine. Some people might just exist for a period of time in front of TV news or a rerun of a mindless sitcom. In men, “vegging” actually releases a hormone that produces a sense of calmness and can be useful to let go of the day’s stress.
You cannot confine your thinking in only five ways. By above five maintenance activities your thinking can be clear and smooth.
