Why can't we stop thinking by ourselves?

The brain doesn't want to fool you...But it's just trying to hold you back from hurting too much. 🧠💔

Many times we reason for him, not because we don't know the truth, but because the brain mechanism is protecting our heart, to understand the function of the brain, and to allow ourselves to walk out and find sincere love. ✨

... Read moreในประสบการณ์ส่วนตัว ผมเคยพบว่าตัวเองมัก "คิดไปเอง" กับสถานการณ์ต่าง ๆ โดยไม่รู้ว่ากลไกสมองกำลังพยายามจะปกป้องหัวใจจากความเจ็บปวดที่เกิดขึ้นจริง บ่อยครั้งเราแต่งนิยายขึ้นมาในใจเพื่อให้เหตุผลว่าทำไมคน ๆ นั้นถึงทำแบบนั้น ทำให้เราเข้าใจผิดและเจ็บปวดโดยไม่จำเป็น หลังจากศึกษาจิตวิทยาและเข้าใจกลไกสมองที่ทำหน้าที่ปกป้องความรู้สึก เราจะเห็นได้ว่าสมองไม่ได้หลอกเรา แต่กำลังใช้วิธีการที่ไว้ใจได้ที่สุดสำหรับมันในการช่วยรับมือกับความเจ็บปวด เช่น การคิดไปเองหรือสร้างเรื่องราวขึ้นมาเพื่อปกป้องหัวใจจากความจริงที่อาจเจ็บปวดเกินรับไหว สิ่งที่ทำได้เพื่อช่วยตัวเราเองคือ การให้อภัยหัวใจและสมอง จากนั้นค่อย ๆ ฝึกฝนการแยกแยะระหว่างความจริงและจินตนาการ ใช้การตั้งคำถามที่ช่วยให้เราเห็นภาพที่ชัดเจนขึ้น เช่น "สิ่งที่ฉันคิดนี้มีหลักฐานจริงไหม?" หรือ "ฉันกำลังกลัวอะไรและสมองพยายามจะปกป้องอะไรอยู่?" การเปิดใจคุยกับคนที่เราสนิทและไว้ใจ หรือขอคำแนะนำจากผู้เชี่ยวชาญด้านจิตวิทยา ก็เป็นอีกทางหนึ่งที่ช่วยให้เราคลายความคิดฟุ้งซ่านและเดินไปสู่ความสัมพันธ์ที่จริงใจได้มากขึ้น การเข้าใจเรื่องนี้ไม่เพียงแค่ช่วยให้เราควบคุมความคิดของตนเองได้ดีขึ้นเท่านั้น แต่ยังช่วยเพิ่มความเมตตาต่อตนเองและคนรอบข้าง เพราะเราได้ตระหนักว่าความสับสนทางความคิดเหล่านี้เป็นเพียงกลไกปกป้องหัวใจ ไม่ใช่ความผิดหรือความบกพร่องของตัวเราเอง ดังนั้นอย่ากังวลถ้าคุณยังเลิกคิดไปเองไม่ได้ แค่ให้โอกาสตัวเองได้เรียนรู้และเติบโต ภายใต้การเข้าใจกลไกสมองและการรักษาหัวใจที่แท้จริง

End the Cycle of Overthinking & Live in the Moment

Stop! You’re Being Too Stubborn – Here’s Why!
Hey you, Today, I want to get real about something that's been on my mind lately: ADHD and stubbornness. As someone who's navigated the world with ADHD for quite some time, I've come to realize that stubbornness isn't just a personality trait – it's often a coping mechanism.

A woman in an elaborate white wedding dress stands in a dimly lit, ancient stone room. Overlay text asks, "How To Stop Idolizing Being In A Relationship So Badly?" relating to the article's theme of not making relationships an idol.
A Bible verse from Philippians 4:19, highlighted in pink, states, "And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus." This supports the article's message about God's provision.
A screenshot displays Matthew 6:33 from the New Living Translation, which reads, "Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need." This aligns with the article's advice to prioritize God.
What Helped To Stop Idolizing A Relationship 🫣
The desire for a relationship and marriage is not a bad thing. Some times (often, really) well meaning Christians will discourage others into thinking that their strong desire for a relationship equals idolatry, simply because that is not their burden. No. That being said, it is possible to set up
