The Independent Thinker!
The
independent thinker
is a mature thinker. Independent thinking enables more happiness and mental health. We feel more liberated when we do not have to conform to someone else’s way of thinking. How would you like to be told what to do twenty four seven? It can be suffocating! .
We are born into a society where social and political infrastructures are already established for us. Whether or not we want to admit it, it’s a form of control. The design of our homes, the clothing we wear, the music we listen to, even the entertainment we subscribe to, and not to mention the media we are saturated with, has a tendency to do our thinking for us. We go along with what has been established for us without question.
When you are an independent thinker you:
Make decisions based on your own observations and judgments instead of accepting the opinion of someone else. Carefully evaluate a situation and if it seems reasonable, take a stand. Show that you can accept responsibility for your own decisions.
Becoming an independent thinker allows you to:
Trust yourself and your ability to make sound decisions. Stand up for what you believe. Have more sense of freedom and broadens your view of life. Add more dimension and opportunity for self-development.
. | Now thinking independently doesn't mean you are to start a radical group or become disruptive. It means becoming informed and educated in your subject matter and making a clear, rational decision on your own.
Here is a life coaching challenge:How often do you make a decision without conforming to culture or norms?How often do you wear clothing that wasn’t the trend? How often do you take the initiative to try something new without the suggestion of someone else? When have to traveled to a new place just by doing your own research and not based on what someone else was doing? Remember the only way to be different is by not blending in with the crowd. Part of staying mentally healthy is to establish your independent identity when it comes to your thinking. I life coach my clients to think for themselves because I have seen the healthy state of mind that results. When we are expected to think and act like everyone else we are placed in a position to feel pressured and a stressful mindset ensues. |
