Episode 277 - Solving problems without thinking.

This week I sit down to talk cognition and problem solving. It seems more often than not when I talk to people about problems the main blocker is they are thinking about it. Over thinking it. Needing to map an idea out and really detail through something. Which is one way of doing it. The other is to go the other approach. Stop thinking. Do something else. Watch something. Entertain yourself. Put your body through some stress. My theory is as a human we've have fight or flight and during moments when we are problem fixated you can use that fight or flight to cut through to what you truly want. So this week I cosy in and sit and think about the notion of just not thinking.
