It’s important to play while studying. We develop new brain connections more quickly when we are willing to attempt new things and are open to new ideas than when we play it safe. I make an effort to become more naive and stop taking myself so seriously. I aim to be ridiculous. It’s simple to overthink, become mentally occupied, and overall fail to live in the present.

You can control your unhelpful ideas with the assistance of experts like counsellors, coaches, therapists, and psychiatrists.
