In my understanding, if your mind can make its own decisions, then no matter what kind of situation you face, you will be stable and won't be lost without proper limit.

Then how to realize spiritual consciousness depends on ourselves, provided that we establish a complete cognition in our brain, and secondly, we insist on being ourselves.

The cognitive construction of our brain needs constant interaction with the outside world, running in and distinguishing the truth from the false. This requires us to constantly study and think, and improve our thinking ability to look at things and get along with others.

What is thinking power?

Teacher Jin Wei mentioned in the class "Thinking Power" that thinking power = thinking+ability. that is

Breaking it down is to evaluate a person's behavior when thinking about what happened in practice.

Then why is it so important for us to learn to think?

First, thinking is very difficult, and the brain is inert.

In Jin Wei's class, one sentence was particularly shocking, that is:

Yes, we are not only lazy physically, but also lazy mentally. The brain only accounts for 2% of our body weight, but it consumes 20% of the total energy, so you will find that when you do some brain burning work, you are often more likely to get hungry than when you don't use your brain!

Because the brain only needs 0. 1 calorie per minute to maintain its own survival, and when you think hard about a difficult problem, the brain needs 1.5 calories per minute, which increases the consumption of 15 times.

Now we know why some people can stop thinking without thinking. It's really hard to think, but we want to be like a walking corpse without thinking!

I believe that what we don't want is just like exercise. Although I don't want to move, I still need to pay attention to exercise and take action for my health.

The very good news is that although the brain consumes a lot, it will become more and more flexible as long as you use more brains. Because the brain has memory, it will store knowledge. The more knowledge, the more it can tie its own knot and eventually form a recyclable thinking chain. The next time you think, you won't have to work so hard, and you will have more ways of thinking.

Second, learn to think independently, so that you can be yourself.

Everyone has been pursuing himself all his life. However, few people can really understand the true meaning. External voices are always endless, affecting our living habits and cognitive styles.

Just as the management of figure and the cultural effect of social groups have shaped the concept of thinness as beauty, many people will try their best to lose weight, just to get more social recognition and get more lucky opportunities. Some people even spend a lot of money on liposuction, and finally they can't get what they want.

As a public figure, Jiang Yingrong claimed that the beauty of a woman should be not only white, young and thin, but also healthy, which requires strength and beauty for her favorite dance. She has independent thoughts and opinions and speaks the voices of most ordinary people. With this mentality, she can accept herself frankly no matter whether she loses weight successfully or not.

In the face of one thing, if you only recognize one thing according to other people's standards, then you will always be bound and eventually become yourself who is not like yourself.

Third, the quality of thinking determines the quality of life.

In the book Speculation and Position, it begins like this:

"Thinking has shaped you, no matter what you are doing, no matter how you feel, no matter what you want-everything is determined by your thinking quality. If your idea doesn't match the reality, you will have a lot of disappointment. If your thinking tendency is too pessimistic, it will be difficult for you to find the joy of life, and even weigh whether you should be happy when you should be happy! "

Thinking controls our behavior, our feelings and our way of life. If you want to improve the quality of life, you need to constantly improve your thinking ability and cultivate higher thinking quality.

There is a passage on the internet, which is very heartfelt, but it makes sense.

The greatest fairness in this world is that when a person is constantly improving his cognition, he can get better treatment from society. When a person's wealth is greater than his cognition, society will have 100 ways to harvest you until your cognition and wealth match each other.

Since thinking is so important, how can we improve our thinking?

One is to think for yourself.

Nansen once said: The first important thing in life is to find yourself, so people need to be lonely and thoughtful from time to time.

The premise of learning to think is that you are willing to think, that is, you have the will to think independently. If a person can't be alone, he can't have a chance to calm down and think for himself.

The second is to communicate more.

Communicating with people with the same frequency will collide with many sparks of thinking. It is said that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand audiences, and everyone looks at them from different angles. If we exchange ideas with others, there will be two kinds of ideas, and even more incredible ideas can be derived.

Third, read more books.

If we just stay in the process of communicating with people around us, our thinking will still be limited, because our thinking height is similar, so we need to collide with people with higher frequency, and reading must be a way to communicate with big coffee, with the lowest cost and the greatest benefit.

Thinking ability is a continuous vitality, a part of our brain instinct, and also a part we need to explore. When we sharpen our thinking ability, the light in our hearts will shine!
