Think Less Table
Glossary Of Terms
Meditation: Use mindfulness (focus gently on your breath and ignore mental chatter, bringing you attention back to your breath if it wanders).
PCD: Use "Positive Constructive Daydreaming": switch to a wishful, playful mindset, then turn your attention inward by first closing your eyes, an explore the vast space of blackness with this wishful, playful attitude.
Psychological Halloweenism: Choose a character who thinks very differently than you and pretend to think like them.
Exercise: Choose a safe physical exercise that your physician has sanctioned.
Napping: Nap for 10 minutes for clarity or 90 minutes for creativity.
Walking: Walk outdoors or indoors, occasionally not on the straight and narrow path (be safe!).
Knitting; Take out your knitting needles and start knitting.
Gardening: Bring in a pot plant to your office, or do your gardening at home.
Possibility thinking: Choose a wished for goal. Then, do your best to invest in the hypothesis that this can occur. Don’t worry about how. Simply believe that your brain will figure this out. When using this, think about ideas and images associated with your goal.
Imagery: Use the book as a guide for biological imagery: first and third person, believable, congruent, coming from behind, specific etc. Imagine vividly and using as many senses as possible.
Feedback reassessment: What feedback did you get today? Was this dramatic? Important? Helpful? Worth ignoring? If it was negative and you want to forget it, write it out and throw it in the trash can.
Reframing time: Choose one negative event of the day/week. What is the opportunity in this? How could you correct something to become even better at what you were doing? What have you landed from this? Write it out.
Doodling:Scribble anything that is on your mind - a pattern, symbol, shape, form or line, without thinking about it.
