If you want a career or to reach success, you need to be very mentally active and feel like you do control your own mind - as opposed to being controlled by it! You also need to have a good baseline state - the state that your brain habitually reverts back to. In this article I will present to you a simple method of keeping you from falling into what I call zombie-mode - where you are mentally absent. I hope you have a good read!
So, I am sure you know what I mean by mental absence..? We all are mentally absent, at times - and if you are not any more, then I congratulate you! However, I am sure that you have been at times in your life and that you therefore can relate to what I am talking about here, and that you can benefit from the method I am about to present to you! So read on.
When you become mentally absent, you lack mental stimulation. What you need to wake up is a contrast - think of this contrast as the sound of an alarm clock as you are asleep. It wakes you up because it is so different..! If you could-, and did, fall asleep to the sound of an alarm clock you would not be awakened by the sound of one, now would you.
So anyway... What I would suggest that you do, as soon as you fall into this mental absence, is something ACTIVE with your body. Anything! The bigger the contrast, the better it is! And it is important that you do not think about anything while doing it - as you want to really focus on your body so that you feel the contrast, experience it, fully. Do you understand what I mean by this? You do not have to do anything special at all, or anything specific - just make it active. Just make what you do something that stands in contrast, in some way, to what you are currently doing. If what you try does not work at the first try, try it in some different way - obviously doing it the same way will give you the same result, so constantly change the approach a little until you hit the sweet spot.
I hope that what I wrote here helps you stay out of mental absence, gives you control over your mind and that consequentially you reach success and have a great career!
