Ever noticed...how difficult it is to sit down and try to think certain thoughts, to come up with new thoughts, etc.?
Or, is that just me?
For me, new thoughts seem to come to my consciousness more from the side or from a context in which I’m not really trying to think them. Such things tend to pop into my mind and from there I can take it and run with it, mull it over, test it, develop it. While consciously trying to organize prior thoughts is a little easier or natural, consciously trying to think of a new thought rarely works for me.
This may be a result of the habits and structure in my life. Perhaps, it actually works the opposite way for other people and the structure in their lives allows for engagement with ideas in a different way.
Now there's a thought....
