Recently (maybe today) I read somewhere, that consciousness is just something, which sees the options and creates decisions based on options it sees - guiding itself to survival/Evolution..
As an example fish predator was compared to on-land predator. Fish can't see much, so it is very reliant on it's ability to sense it's surroundings and react on that. Yey on-land preditor can see way way further, and plan accordingly to that. So much much more pro activity is there, compared to fish..
So I was just sitting at a Chinese place and thinking to myself about this topic.. What does it mean for a consciousness to be doing that - surviving/evolving?
Well it has to master few tools, which when mastered helps consciousness evolve faster, which in turn will help it better navigate in this ever changing Situation/Surroundings/Environment!
What does it mean to evolve faster?
Means - you can faster asses the Situation/Surroundings/Environment, and come up with the best solution for you!
So WHAT does the Consciousness have to do to grow/evolve to best adapt to it's NEW Situation/Surroundings/Environment?
1. Regularly Participate in something NEW!
2. Notice the things that get you Excited!
3. Learn&Analyze things that Excite you!
4. Decide if this is important to your SSE!
5. Find how you can use this new knowledge to best navigate in your SSE!
6. ACT
Now let's get to HOW part!
And to do this effectively you must develop some tools, some habits:
1. Regularly Participate in something NEW!
What?
Develop a Habit to Regularly Try something New!
How?
- If this is an activity you are used to - find some new aspect of it, some new way of thinking about it or new way of engaging in it!
- or find absolutely new activity, which you never tried before!
- Do something different with ppl you know, but have never done that with them!
- Go and meet absolutely different people, get to know them!
- Be playful, be life - experimenter!
- Be courageous
From this you will learn new thinking/acting patterns, new ways of engagement, new strategies, new qualities about yourself, etc..
This will help you reassess your previous strategies, maybe help you formulate new ones! This way you will learn about new things!
This will help you boost your courage and your self!
2. Noticing the things that gets you Excited!
What:
Develop a habit to Notice most exciting elements of your new activity!
How?
- Think about your day! See what interesting / New happened! Analyze that a bit!
- See if this excites you! Try to feel it!
- If it does - you will naturally want to reflect more and more about this topic... making stronger and stronger neural connections on this topic.. But first you have to notice it!
Why?
This is important, because you are different than other ppl and you must find your own way/path. You will be drawn towards different things than others! This is your soul speaking to you, listen! If it gets you excited - then this is for you!
3. Learn&Analyze things that Excite you!
What?
Develop a habit to Dig deeper
How?
- once you have identified the things that get you excited - Reflect on them
- Get to know WHAT Excites You and WHY.
- Get to know WHAT Excites You and WHY.
-- Dig DEEPER about these things, find connections, find what gets you excited, plan, think how you can improve them, think what other ppl might be interested in this, think what organizations are doing this.
Why?
After you identify that somethng excites you - you must learn about this topic more "sleep with it" as the saying goes, so that it will help you form much deeper connections in your brain! Digging deeper will let you see more options about this topic, more variety, more depth, give you better understanding!
4. Decide if this is important to your SSE!
What?
Develop a habit to Measure if this affects you in any way!
How?
See how these new experiences/insights/information cab change your life! Immediate and not immediate!
Plan for the future, taking into account this new info/experience!
See if you can improve your life with this new knowledge!
Why?
If you decide that this is important - you can pursue this further!
if you see that this has no importance, you can leave it there, and go find something else!
5. Find how you can Use this new knowledge to best navigate in your SSE!
Why?
6. ACT
What?
Develop a habit to ComeUP with Constructive Conclusions, about - what I can do about this!
How?
After deeper analysis - try to structure this info!
Place it into shelves!
Visualize - how you can use it in your life!
Visualize - how you can use it in your life!
Try to tell someone about this - this will make you structure this info and you will better understand it, before you tell it to someone else!
Why?
You will remember it easier, understand it deeper
6. ACT
What?
Develop a habit to Go and make it happen - you have done the research already!
... And then start over with 1'st step!
How?
Get in contact, get to know these ppls, get involved into these orgs, Get into these activities, call someone, write a letter, etc..
Why?
Because if you don't act now - you probably will not act at all!
Acting will lead you to new insights/new ppl/new activities/new experiences... and you will better learn about your Environment about yourself about ppl surrounding you!
HABITS
So it all boils down to few habits you have to develop, if you want to improve your navigational skills in your Environment:
Develop a Habit to:
1. Regularly Try something New!
2. Regularly take Notice of most exciting elements of your New activity!
3. Dig deeper into them, get to know what excites you, why!
4. See if this affects you in any way!
5. ComeUP with Constructive Conclusions -> What you can do with this!
6. Go and USE IT - NOW!
Have fun ;)
