Business Advice Pro: Do you remember the last time when you really needed to do something, but you just couldn’t because you were constantly thinking of something else? Remember? I do. There are ways to fix that. And no, I’m not going to talk about the waves in the air or about some other mambo-jambo. And I’m not even going to use the word autosuggestion (The term autosuggestion is used for positive or negative physical symptoms explained by the thoughts and beliefs of a person.), even though it is part of the game. I’ll try to do it in a bit more humane & practical manner.

Theory: In order to do something, you need to get rid of all the unnecessary thoughts. Why? That’s because otherwise you can’t really commit to that one other thing.

Example: Imagine you *need* to write ten blog posts today, but have hard time doing it because the only thing you are thinking of is the money transfer that you should be getting any day now. You think of the money, you think of what you are going to do with it, etc. Now try to stick to writing your blog posts, it’s not an easy task. I know some of you won’t understand what I’m talking about here, yet some of you will understand it too well.

Problem: If you were asked NOT to think about an elephant, what are you going to think about? About the elephant of course! That’s the problem here –trying not to think about something usually results in more thinking about the not-to-think-about thing.

Solution: Yes, you could consider autosuggestion or self-hypnosis here, to make something with your subconscious mind. Well, yes, you could. But why do people ALWAYS want to complicate things? Instead of think about the wrong thing, make a decision, a reasoned decision why you should not think about it anymore. And start thinking of reasons why you should be working or why you want to work with the thing you actually need to get done. It is easy.

• DO NOT think that you should not be thinking about the thing you are thinking about
• DO think about WHY you shouldn’t be thinking about it
• DO think about WHAT you actually need to concentrate on and WHY
• And soon you’ll see the right thing is the only thing your are thinking about
