Counter Thoughts
The Grasshopper woke me up with this one day: “A counter thought is still thinking.”
It seems to be a prescription for not arguing with yourself.
First off, as stated many times, you have never won an argument with yourself, so there’s that. But secondly, the act of thinking keeps you from creating.
We are conditioned to believe that if we weigh the pros and cons in our head that we will come up with a creative solution. When has that ever happened?
Counter thoughts are just more thoughts. And if your mind is filled with thoughts, there’s no room for creativity.
Ah-ha moments don’t come from internal debates. Don’t take my word for it, just let the words of a great “thinker” sink in. Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them.”
The next time you catch yourself gearing up for a debate, just notice the counter thoughts arising without engaging with them. Just the unemotional observation of these thoughts will dilute them, making space in your mind for something new to come through.
Let me leave you with this: The only “counter thought” that will serve you well is ordering a slice of your favorite pie.
All the best,
John
