Brain Struck


I wanted to blog... just coz i have one...
I hit new post to write something... something interesting... and every time i reach here am so incomplete in my thoughts that it doesn't move on from the first few lines.
Doing an analysis on why. i created a terminology "brain struck". Am not going to explain how and why i gave this terminology, rather am going to speak more about brain struck.
I was watching a conversation between two people in a meeting. One person was explaining something beautiful, his flow was great. He was interrupted by a phone call and then he missed his flow. At that point he was Brain Struck. I felt bad for him. There was a similar situation when i was explaining to someone. Someone gave me a name which i loved to hear and i was lost and brain struck. What happens here within us is very interesting. The storage information coincides with present happenings and the brain finds it hard to get aligned. If this is one such case. There is an other thing too.
There are few things which we wanted to do for a longtime but we never do that. Like writing a blog atleast in my case. Even if we sit on a particular task, we will not be able to perform it. You think Ah! i know this.. it happens many times. Well! that true, what happens here is interesting. Any task which has to be performed needs to have acceptance from your brain/mind. When this doesn't happen. You sit on a plain word file typing and deleting words for hours and your Brain Struck.
How to handle Brain Struck? In my little experience with these familiar situations i used various ways and zeroed on few things which worked for me.
In the first case of Brain Struck where you find a while to get back on track, i tried restricting my brain to operate and find the historical information temporarily and had that instance saved in my present so that i can recall it once my given task is completed. Its not complicated or hard to do that. In simple words you ignore that instant completely and after your meeting/conversation/task is completed you recall what you ignored. This has worked effective for me.
In the second case where we don't do anything, but just keep thinking that it has to be completed. I closed my eyes had 10 deep breaths and compelled myself to start something in that lines for 20 minutes and then the brain actually gave the acceptance and i was able to accomplish the task.
I thought the brain struck is something by which we feel dis-satisfied with ourselves. So, thought of sharing it. Next time when you open any empty file and keep it for hours... realise you are brain struck and remember to try out the option.

sometimes we are brain struck but u can also say SPEECHLESS you are suddenly short of words ur just amazed or taken away by watching or seeing something or actually feeling something for the first time maybe anything for that matter....even ur first love confirmation can be the correct example.

yeah your words are true in common human life. But u can avoid brain struck if you keep focussed on your work even whatever interruption u can met.
Any way thanks for sharing BRAIN experience.

Brain Struck - reminds me of heat stroke...err...something like coma! (hope my understanding is right with brain)

Actually this is a case when people want to be a part of so many things...their thoughts, their speech, their surroundings, their involvement...everything!

One is bogged with the fact of what is happening in the other's mind...and that extremely impacts the flow of thought, speech distracting one to the bit of blankness!

@ Sankar: Thats a beautiful moment and whatever happens in those moments are reactions. Thats not brain struck, that is being speechless as u have said. thanks for the comment.

Vishwak Avanan said...

@ Sundar: Yep absolutely! thanks for the comment.

@ Geetzz: That is a very interesting point. Nice way to look at it. Thanks for the perception and the comment.

well said Vishwak but i would personally feel that such things do not need lot of research .... the thing is that these happen and people tend to adjust themselves lot of times .... that is the time they are tested .... so brain struck or no .. it is another way of excuse.

yes this is true, we often ask some one like "What are we discussing..." when we deviate from what we are talking... even now i sat wit the system to learn something related to my profession but ended up reading this blog... and yes its 100% true what you said "Any task which has to be performed needs to have acceptance from your brain/mind".... overall its a good stuff and am happy that i learned something in my life....
