Under the right circumstances, escaping from a situation can be a big win. There have probably been times in your life you can remember when you just couldn’t figure out what to do or how to handle a situation. Finally, feeling defeated, you gave up and decided not to bother with it any more. Shortly after, the solution came to you easily!
This phenomenon can happen on issues that are large or small. This is one of the reasons why employers want their employees to take a vacation. The employee can get away and come back renewed, refreshed and ready to be productive once again.
Sometimes when we feel trapped in a situation or are hunting for a solution and it seems no matter what we do we can’t find a different route, we keep training our brain that the way we are handling it is the only way it can be accomplished. However, when we stop thinking about the best way to take care of the situation and get away, our brain will loosen the thought cycle and be receptive to new information again. That is when the a-ha moment occurs.
Escaping from a situation can be fun also. Having a cup of tea with friends, playing a round of golf, or putting together a scrap book can get your thoughts away from the situation and onto something else. Then when you least expect it, you’ll look at something or talk to someone who just seems to have the answer to your issue.
Take some time to escape, let your brain renew and look at the world through some new eyes!
Some Great Ways To Escape So Your Brain Can Loosen The Thought Cycle!
Take a vacation and leave anything related to your issue or situation at home!
Say a prayer thanking God for all of the wonderful things that are in your life!
Say to yourself “I am going to clear my mind and I will have the answer to this in the morning.” Then go to sleep and wait for the answer. This doesn’t always work, but it is worth a try!
Engage in a creative activity such as scrapbooking, drawing, sewing, writing poetry, etc. Once your creativity becomes active you can tap into that to get the answer you’ve been searching for.
