When people are caught in internal friction, their minds seem to be firmly bound by an invisible net, unable to break away or escape.
Individuals in this state often feel exhausted and feel like they have experienced a long-distance run even though they are not doing any substantive work.
The reason behind this is that the brain is extremely inefficient at doing work in the internal time.
The time-consuming brain is like an overloaded machine, running but inefficient.
Cognitive-behavioral science attributes this phenomenon to a significant decrease in attention and action.
Specifically, it is difficult to concentrate on the task at hand, and is always interrupted by irrelevant thoughts; At the same time, even if there is a clear plan of action, it is difficult to put it into practice, and it is always delayed.
The reasons for this are varied.
On the one hand, it may be related to the psychological state of the individual. For example, long-term stress, anxiety or depression can cause the brain to not be able to work efficiently.
On the other hand, poor lifestyle habits, such as lack of sleep, irregular diet, lack of exercise, etc., can also affect the normal function of the brain.
The inefficient work of the brain not only affects the individual's mood and quality of life, but also causes substantial damage to work and study.
In the workplace, it can lead to low productivity and tasks not being completed on time; In the learning environment, it may prevent learners from absorbing knowledge effectively and affect academic performance.
So, how to improve the efficiency of the work of the brain that consumes time internally?
First of all, it is necessary to face up to your psychological state and seek professional psychological counseling or treatment to solve the underlying psychological problems.
Secondly, improving lifestyle habits, getting enough sleep, eating a balanced diet, and exercising moderately can all help improve the efficiency of the brain.
Finally, you can try some specific training methods, such as meditation, mindfulness exercises, etc., to help you better manage your attention and improve your mobility.
In short, the inefficiency of the brain is a problem worth paying attention to.
By gaining a deeper understanding of its causes and harms, and taking effective countermeasures, we can help ourselves get out of this predicament and restore the efficient working state of our brains, so that we can better cope with life's challenges.
