Has this ever happened to you?

You were thinking about a problem; no matter how hard you focus, you’re stuck. You’ve gone over the problem several times. You have tried to redefine it. You’ve looked at it from different angles. Nothing seems to happen no matter what you do and when you think about the problem.

Much of this concerns that your conscious mind can quickly get stuck in a holding pattern. If you’ve ever gotten on a plane trying to land at a busy airport, you probably have experienced a holding pattern before. Your plane would circle a city several times, delaying your arrival.

When the runway clears and your plane is given the green light to land, your pilot will break the holding pattern and start the descent. That’s how planes work.

It’s similar to your thoughts.

When your mind is burning precious energy trying to achieve some breakthrough because you find yourself at an impasse, it goes into a holding pattern. It’s as if you can’t think of anything new. You keep revisiting the same things over and over again.

This is similar to losing your keys. When was the last time you lost your keys? I’m willing to bet that when you were looking for your keys, you kept checking at the places you checked before. At the back of your head, you know that your keys aren’t there. After all, you just checked it a few minutes before, but you can’t help yourself to keep checking repeatedly.

Maybe you needed to look more appropriately.

Perhaps it’s stuck somewhere in the back. Possibly, you didn’t pay enough attention, so you keep repeating this pattern repeatedly. That’s how your mind works.

Unfortunately, this habit doesn’t get us any closer to the solution. How can it be? You keep revisiting the same process. As the old saying goes, insanity is defined as doing the same thing repeatedly while expecting different results each time. How can you achieve different results when you’re doing the same thing?

When you focus on the present moment, you can focus on your issues right here, right now.

In other words, you can train all your creative and imaginative resources to the right problem at the right time and place. This is better than worrying sick about stuff that may or may not happen or, worse yet, crying over spilled milk.

By learning to tap the present moment through mindfulness or meditation, you start looking at your situation differently.

The reason why this happens is because your subconscious mind enters the picture. Your subconscious mind is mighty. It enables you to achieve breakthroughs when you thought these were not possible.
