We often talk about the things that we want out of life. We talk about the house we will one day buy, the car of our dreams, the family. But in reality that conversation is just the practice of daydreaming and sometimes nothing more. Curiously though daydreaming is a mental tool that helps us face our realities a little bit better.
Just think about it for a minute here. Have you ever been in a stressful situation, dealing with a problem you have absolutely no solution to? At least not one that you can see easily? Have you also not imagined a perfect outcome to solve it, even if it doesn’t make sense? Like winning a bet, money all of the sudden appearing in your bank account. What are the triggers making us smile? If nothing has changed, why are we smiling?
There is a small trick to learn from these interesting events: Our ability to shape our reality. Not physically of course, but our perception of reality. Now I’m not making a case for living in a world of delusions, I’m simply pointing out how this curious mental feature we all have works.
It’s often because of this little trick that our mind can play that I think of problems in a different way, specially if they are the type to keep me from my sleep. You could say I’m practicing dishonesty, self brainwashing, but the intention behind the mental exercise is to pull myself from the precipice of pessimism.
In a recently spoke with a good friend that is going through some rough times. Many of the things that are happening are the type of problems that can’t be helped. The economy not being ideal, a relationship that ended are issues that sheer will can’t just fix. I was trying to explain to him the idea behind the mental trick: The ability to project ourselves in positive light.
Sometimes it takes very little imagination to see ourselves overcoming the challenges. Other times it requires a lot of mental work, but the challenge is almost always worth it. Ask yourself one thing. What could I possibly do if I was too stressed, too afraid to move? The answer is obvious, nothing. The cloud that we fall into, the confusing dust that now fills the room is too suffocating for us to attempt to think.
Maybe the goal of the mental trick is to find an emotional balance from which to build from. To achieve some clarity in order to make the right decisions. I suspect something very similar happens to one’s mind when we take vacations, and probably that’s why we seem to need them that often.
As they say, food for thought.
What are you hoping to achieve here paying for all there bot votes? Do you imagine them being profitable? How about you make some actual calculations? That way you'd see that you're wasting not only our time, but your pennies as well.
Someone telling the truth here . The steemit herd wont like that.
"I'm new to Steemit and just did my introduction post! So happy to meet and follow new people ! Looking forward to more awesome posts from you!
You're in for a huge disappointment, this place is shit.
Really, or are you trying to discourage
It seem that you're very unhappy about @chbartist wasting his resources just to ensure that his post has a great visibility? Does it really bother you @nameless-berk?
Yours
Piotr
It's not important enough to bother me. But I enjoy exposing the overhyped bullshit.
thank you for your kind reply @nameless-berk
have a great monday ahead :)
Piotr
nameless-berk totally agreed you have my upvote ! XD
Yes, totally agree here as well. Bullshit posts/content and fucking bots. Hope that someone can solve the problem otherwise Steemit will go down...
Being pessimistic in someway will give warning and be cautious to avoid and prevent the things you foresee to happen but most of the time this will gives negative effect to a person who is over-pessimistic. He will always be worried on something that is not yet or may not happen, it will just gives him worries that leads to a health problem, maybe mental problem.
Our ability to shape our reality.

Excelente post amigo, @chbartist. En Venezuela vivimos en un constante ejercicio mental para no caer en depresión, vivir todo como venga y soñando despierto que algún día acabe esta pesadilla.
mi corazon esta con la gente de venezuela. ya vendran mejores dias
Dios te escuche y gracias, amigo, @chbartist.
Arriba Venezuela!

Sometimes the best way to do a difficult thing is to just do it.

Yes! Every time we decide on something, we always imagine and think what's ahead and overthinking too much could also sometimes lead to fear to take on that decision. When you are afraid, it could not always mean that something bad is going to happen. It just means that you have the chance to be brave.
Also thinking positively does not mean that everything will turn out okay. It means that you will be okay no matter how things turn out.
I tend to find myself daydreaming, hoping for things in life such as more money, like you mentioned. As I touched on my recent post, it can at times, be difficult to be grateful for what we already have. The brain is a wonderful and complicated thing, and at times hard to control.
wont see post like this everyday. I need this right now. Thanks for this @chbartist
dont ever talk anything than you never fell anything.

The bear market is tough
ha, the last 7 months have been tough
In order to be happy, then everyone should have a goal of happiness to determine how much I am happy will be really happy. For the life of life, I spent money for happiness, but for the sake of happiness, I forgot the need for money. There is a need for more than just money to be happy and that is why everything has a limit. He who has been able to liberate himself from bondage of money has been blessed with happiness.
Excelente post!

whatever you pointed out is absolutely true currently i'm going through depression that's why spending hours and hours in steemit i don't know when i will get over it .
how you feel better man
Hello mate @chbartist... you have described very nicely, how to overcome problems... which are unnecessary created by us... thank you teaching how to over come....
Great advice! I have a problem with internalizing the insane environment I currently work in. I do have the power to choose how I view and interact with it. Where there is chaos, there is opportunity.
Everything is in the mind, sometimes it gets you out of the most difficult situation in life and some other times it gets you in those difficult situations. Whatever it may be, it helps us, delude us, tries to fool us but it ultimately makes us what we are.
Life is made up of UPS and DOWNS, its such an undulating scenario, when its up, gather more momentum, when its down, be courageous and be determine to bounce out of it, it might be painful and unpalatable; such is life. All these boils down to ones mental strength. Good post @chbartist
Thanks, friends, you have to learn a lot of life in order to share a beautiful new post. Inside I can learn a lot from your post and thank you thank you so many thanks to me.
Thanks my dear friend @chbartist ,the information you gave us was absolutely correct.Always dream big,work hard,stay focused,and surround yourself with good people.
Imagination is the power given by god to as to overcome stress and feel happy @chbartist great post sir keep posting great content
We are in tune. Sometimes I have applied your theory, in situations where you can use the mind for that ... there are others that of course you can not, however you can still fantasize. Our mind is so infinite that we could go around the world if we wanted to, we could go to the moon and who would stop us? ... our mind is wonderful. I like your theory or recommendation. Have a nice day.
Everyone see dreams and hopes to come true one day. The only way to make your dreams true,is hardwork. Hardwork is the necessary tool to get success in life. Without hardwork your dreams can't be true and you can't achieve your goals in your life. So be positive and do hardwork if you want success in your life.
@chbartist You have to learn a lot of life in order to share a beautiful new post. Inside I can learn a lot from your post and thank you thank you so many thanks to me.
@chbartist Strong Mind Strong Life. Keep Going

Pessimism isn't necessary all the time. But it can help you avoid market euphoria.
Concerns though, Calendar is a mental tool that helps us to make our truth a little bit better. Be careful and careful to avoid what is going on, but most of the time it will have a negative effect on the person who is more reprehensible than always Be worried that it does not happen or can not happen, it only hurts him Do not allow health problems or mental problems.(Thank yoou for the great post)
Good article indeed. Dreaming is alright but we must also be real and avoid any kind of pessimism. -Thank you so much for these reflections.
Yep uhh describe the whole thing who used to our life 👍
pessimism is doubt in action.
life is all about dreams.....
