We usually have two states: walking with our head down and looking up at the road.

1. Walk with your head down. In this state, you will be very focused and focused, entering a state of distraction, and you will often ignore everything around you.

People often say: happy time is always short. It's this state. When you are immersed in it, time will pass very fast.

For example, when taking the subway, you check your mobile phone to pass the station, forget whether you locked the car after leaving the parking lot, play games and forget to eat...

2. Look up at the road, here In this state, you will not delve into a specific detail, but look at the overall situation.

We are usually in these two states. If we keep walking with our heads down, we will bump into trees while walking, and if we just look up at the road, we will easily fall into a pit.

Most people complain that they have taken a lot of classes and read a lot of books, but they are of no use at all. Just like the famous saying on the Internet: I have heard a lot of truths, but I still can’t live a good life.

This is because you have been looking up at the road instead of walking down; you have been inputting information but not outputting actions.

A good practice should be to switch between the two states frequently. There are many examples like this in life: For example, your leader arranges for you to complete a project, and you sit at your desk, meditate, and scratch your head for an afternoon, but you still have no idea how to start writing.

At this time, Xiao Huang from the next office called you to inquire about some other aspects of your business. You had to gather your thoughts and answer her one by one. After hanging up the phone, you originally wanted to go to the bathroom and then come back to continue thinking about the plan. , but while you were walking, your head suddenly clicked, and you thought of a great idea, and your thoughts suddenly opened up, so you didn’t even go to the bathroom and just finished the plan in one go.

Everyone must have had similar experiences. Why did you suddenly become enlightened after changing the state?

When you are immersed in thinking about a plan, you are walking with your head down. When you make a phone call or go to the toilet, you actually switch to a state where you are looking up at the road. Switching from stressful work to relaxing rest, good ideas are often generated in a relaxed state.

Having said so much, I just want to draw out the experience of Teacher Xiaoqiang: In daily life and work, when you switch from tactical thinking such as "how to do it" to "what is my purpose in doing this thing?" "What is it?" When you think about this overall strategic consideration, the change in your thinking level will always make you make new discoveries.
