You Cannot Plough a Field by Turning It Over in Your Mind

I wonder how many hours you have spent lying in bed at night tossing and turning restlessly with ideas, thoughts, and worries going through your mind envisaging varying outcomes relating to your restlessness.

And oh my goodness, the next morning, we wake up exhausted, tired, and wanting to go back to bed instead of facing the day’s challenges that inevitably lie ahead. This is not an uncommon phenomena.

It is a common factor that many writers and poets get inspiration whilst asleep and have note pads by the side of their beds so that they can immediately write down their midnight thoughts – and then go back to sleep again. Waking up in the morning with heads full of ideas.

Inventors and designers do the same - they take their unsolved problems to bed with them and when the brain is resting they get their best ideas in vivid dreams waking instantly, writing down the dreamt solution and then back to sleep.

This process works for these people because they have programmed their brains and thought processes to work in this manner. They are positive thinkers and believe that solutions to every problem and every challenge is just around the corner. Sleep helps unclutter the mind, and pen and paper by the side of the bed tells the brain that you are ready for the answers. And then when you wake up you wake up with solutions, and ideas, that can easily be worked on and followed through the next day.

But at the end of the day this process is only effective because these type of people are dedicated and focused on their work and their cause, meaning that they will not allow anyone or anything to interfere with their dreams, goals, or aspirations.

They say that you can't plough a field by turning it over in your mind. Meaning that you have to get your hands dirty. You have to be goal focused. You've got to just pull your finger out, stop procrastinating and just get down to it. Letting nothing stand in your way.

I know that without even meeting you that you have ideas, thoughts, problems, challenges, affecting your sleep patterns as well as your future financial independence.

So what are you going to do about it? Go to bed early with a pen and paper by your side. Tell your brain to find a solution. Write it down and then get into action.

Remember that you can’t plough a field by turning it over in your mind.
