Subconciousness

This monday, I had a depression going on, because I wasn't motivated, scared of growing up, and it was probably a build-up of many recent events too. I'm alright today, though. And it amazes me how much of a problem-solver my subconciousness is. I usually "send" problems to my subconciousness instead of having to think them through and let them be a blockage to functioning in everyday life. Usually, to be able to "send" the problems, I wipe out my brain doing something that demands all my concentration. Playing games and reading a book are two of the methods I use to do this. Then, when I have done this for long enough, I would've forgotten about the problem (Well, it's actually being processed in the deeper parts of my brain. But I won't know), and can continue working or studying.



Another, famous method to solve problems, is to sleep. In that way, your brain also shuts itself down in certain parts, and your subconciousness starts to process all the recent events you've been through. This is also the reason you dream, and the reason a lot of good ideas make it to your mind right after you've woke up.

And the last method I wanted to mention to you, is meditating. Well, I call it being in trance, because it's almost impossible to contact me, and I feel like I'm floating. This method relies on taking an active part of the problem-solving, by merging your conciousness and subconciousness to focus only on that single problem. I use this when, and only when there's some kind of emergency going on. Like when I found out my mom had been unfaithful. I sat down for hours and stared into the wall, to find out how my feelings actually were, and how I reacted.

Now, those are my ways of solving emotional problems. How are your ways of solving them?
