Another world

Our world is full of cases, each of which carries a specific marker or a shortcut to our perception. Certain events we perceive as positive. On the other - trying to ignore and avoid. But also good and bad cases, there is one feature. They attract attention.

Any scandal, scientific yelled, personal accident: deposited in the minds of bright spots. We can not help pay attention to them by virtue of novelty, surprise and shock. In such cases, the brain starts to work at times more active. The neurons are excited, catching a lot of new information that is processed immediately. The activity is so broad that the residual traces are stored for a long time and are excited at the slightest stimulus. As an example of such a negative event - Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. As a positive - romantic memories, nostalgia.

The peculiarity of such a reaction of the brain puts us in a stalemate in interaction with stress. The full potential of intelligence directed to a single channel, cutting parts and other factors. On the side (if you render the scene) is like a man that buried in the closed door, which stands in the middle of the vast field.

The problem of stress is that it attracts our attention. We are immersed in an altered state of consciousness, entering into a "flow" of ideas. In such a situation it is very difficult to switch to other stimuli, except that they will be stronger than the factor of stress.

The name "another world" is due precisely to this dive. We leave the world all the factors and opportunities, focusing on the problem and solving it - stuck in place. To solve a problem (usually) terrible, painful, unpleasant. By embracing this business, we are all but comfort and pleasure. But the relief that comes with the decision, it is difficult to overestimate.

In psychology, there is a term "Gestalt", which explains an event or experience. Often - at the heart of our problems lie is incomplete gestalt. Do not "clean up" themselves, we can not develop further. The way forward with injuries to the person, is fraught with failures, degradation and the lack of success. This is how to build a skyscraper on a foundation of the hut. How to apply to the sport, with the problems in the body.

Man, get rid of the goods of the soul, at times it is easier to cultivate and develop. Can there be exceptions? Yes, they may be. But to expect that such an exception would be anyone of us - certainly not worth it.
