Do you train your mind ?
These days I’m travelling for work.
Today at lunch, I was cribbing to a friend Vivek Jaiswal (also a startup founder) on how I’m having irregular sleep hours while travelling — may be the change in place, routine etc affecting the sleep pattern..
His response was epic and really got me thinking — “ By continuing to lie on the bed if not getting your sleep, you are training your mind to disassociate sleep with the bed. Sit on a couch and read and go to bed only when sleepy. Train your mind.”
How true and how important to translate to multiple facets of life..
By continuing to do things a certain way we can train our minds — positively and negatively both. e.g. when you’re looking to solve a problem you have two options:
A. Focus harder and experiment more until you figure things.
OR
B. Quit saying this doesn’t work, I’m done !!
Over time, if you consistently choose option A over B, then you’ve trained your mind to become inclined to problem-solving.
Choosing option B consistently leads you to train your mind to look for solutions on a platter.
Training your mind. So important to train it right !! Have you trained your mind on things?
