Once sharp-minded, now unable to locate its trace, how to regain that kind of thinking? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Have you ever had the experience, like me, of being from various cities and having a sharp mind in the past, where you could quickly come up with good solutions to problems, whether it's solving math problems or dealing with some daily issues? When thinking about the routes to take, my mind would plan everything, helping me figure out the best way to proceed. When the teacher asked questions, I could react quickly and find a solution. However, now... I'm not sure if it's my thinking or my mind's fault, but now, my mind and thinking are not just about reacting; it takes a few minutes to come up with problem-solving ideas and the words to express them. Before, it was different, and I very much want that kind of thinking or mind back. But I can't find the trace of it. I feel a sense of longing and expectation. I hope you can help me. Thank you, unknown friend.

You've asked a great question! It's a fantastic opportunity to reflect on how we can grow and develop. As we mature, the challenges we face become more complex and diverse.

This is especially true in school and in life. The challenges we encounter may no longer be simple mathematical problems or simple daily decisions. They are now challenges full of complexity, uncertainty, and change—and we can rise to the occasion!

In school, the content of learning is constantly evolving, from simple arithmetic problems to complex mathematical reasoning, physics problems, and logic puzzles. And in life, from childhood family conflicts and minor friendship disputes to adulthood interpersonal relationships, career decisions, and life difficulties, the complexity and depth of the problems are constantly increasing, which means there's always something new to learn and grow from!

So, it's important to recognize that as we grow and gain experience, the problems we face change and become more exciting than ever! This transformation is very normal because as time goes by, we inevitably have to face more and more challenging problems—and we can do it!

In this situation, the advice I mentioned earlier still applies. Even if the problems we face now are more complex, there's no need to worry! By maintaining a positive attitude, exercising the brain, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and seeking help, we can still cope with these challenges and continuously improve our thinking agility and problem-solving skills.

Embrace the change! Adapt and grow, and you'll be perfectly positioned to thrive in today's complex and ever-changing environment. Every time you conquer a more complex problem, it's a confirmation and improvement of your abilities. Plus, it'll give you valuable experience and confidence when facing future challenges.

I really hope my answer helps you! I'm here to inspire you to understand and deal with the problems you're currently facing. No matter how complex the problem is, I believe you can find the right methods and strategies to solve it, keep moving forward, and keep growing!

Fabian Miller The value of time increases as we age.

I totally understand how you feel. It's like my brain used to be this welloiled machine that could solve problems on the fly, but now it feels like the gears have rusted. I miss that sharpness too and often wonder what has changed within me.

Demi Anderson Honesty is a moral compass that guides us through life.

It sounds like you're really missing those moments of quick thinking and problemsolving prowess. Sometimes I think our minds just need a different kind of fuel or perhaps a break to spark again. I hope you find what brings back that vibrant clarity for you.

Jonah Miller Time is a wonderful teacher, but it kills all its pupils.

Reflecting on your words, it seems like life might have slowed down the pace of your thoughts, but don't lose hope. Maybe this is an opportunity to explore new ways to reignite that mental agility. I'm rooting for you to rediscover that part of yourself.
