Many things, a lot of things go through the mind. The diversified ideas, but still failing to make it happen in your way. But it is the struggle to achieve mental clarity that we must win. If the situation had been the same as we desired, then the ancient quotes would have been true.  Like Thomas à Kempis once said, “Man proposes, but Heaven disposes”. How would the ability have developed to differentiate between a fossil and a diamond? How would the approach have developed to carve a way towards achieving a milestone? That also becomes an inspiration for others to follow. So, moving up around different roadmaps becomes challenging, but many times it happens that you find clarity.

What to do when the mind feels stuck?

When your mind is stuck and you can not stop, the challenge resolves with AI bots, because they can understand sentiments and provide you with meaningful structure when your mind stops producing words. Do not let people ruin your happiness, do not let them breach your privacy.

I often push forward without worrying about how others might react or whether they expect it from me. I want everything to move at once, yet I’ve learned that with a clear direction, it becomes easier to control the pace and know where to place my focus. When I work, I follow one simple rule: I must first understand something fully before I can express it to others. Still, many ideas surface restlessly in my mind, fleeting like a goldfish’s memory. In those moments, my writing becomes a vessel for anger, frustration, and raw observations, pouring out without rules or restraint. So, I come to know what is within me.

Understanding mental clarity through self-discipline

It makes me feel exasperated when something I have planned does not happen or when I do not understand. My focus, my speed, my way of working must not be distracted. I need to achieve what I see and plan, everything I need, with synchronization. I need the progress to happen, even if it is tiny. I am nonchalant and I need to be regarding all other activities that are not relevant to my taste or objective.

I love to dominate and be praised, respected by everyone who is in my surroundings, especially at my workplace. It is more important what you pay attention to and how you make choices. At the same time, it is more important to understand, you can not make things happen forcefully; sometimes your mind needs a break to do something productive. Most importantly, you have life to decide what to do and how. You are not in a competition but following a mission.

AI, support, and the question of dependence

Depending too much on AI tools to understand a passage, is it good for my skills or not? Or should I make some effort to understand with a relaxed mind? How would that be? Similarly, if asking something in haste or immediately, if I do not understand some, then for which of my abilities is it harmful?

As I want to go into detail about some words in the following sentence from Sudhir Venkatesh’s book:
“Also, a leasing-holding man might let her younger boyfriend stash drugs and cash in her apartment and maybe even use it as a freelance support.”

Looking back to move forward

Holding for some time, the more the situation or words seem difficult to understand, and you become unable to grasp the concept, instead of writing in haste or moving ahead without proper clarity or purpose or with assumptions in mind. Try resolving the spinning of details in your mind with less pace.

Sometimes looking back is also important to review where you have invested time and effort. It will also help you to reaffirm the lessons you have learnt. Because while learning new things, we often have a memory of a goldfish. Revision and proper compilation of data help us to shift into long-term memory or master a topic or subject.
