If you can stop thinking then you can give your brain a rest.
That will provide some significant benefit, particularly when you are under stress.
Here are a couple of suggestions about the Value of not thinking:
- If we are not thinking then we have managed to turn off the mental noise that consumes and wastes much of our brainpower. Freeing up some brainpower…that’s a good thing.
- If we are not thinking then we are more capable of being selective about our next thought choices. Our next thought choices can be better concentrated on a single topic. That is a thing of genius. And, our next thought choices can be more positive: it is easier to set negative thoughts aside by not thinking for a time rather than trying to replace a negative thought with a positive thought. That is a practical step toward the area known as positive mental attitude.
For most people, it is not easy to stop thinking.
It takes practice.
