These are two very beautiful words in psychology – problem brain and solution brain. how is your brain Problem Brain or Solution Brain?
Are you one who sits and whines about life's problems or are you one who tries to find solutions. Are you someone who complains about the world or are you someone who has no complaints? Or you know that the command of life is in your own hands.
Let's go today In a relationship Let's try to understand this. Also know what impact these two different ideas have on life?
What is Problem Brain? The human brain is a powerful tool. This can solve any problem. Some people are quick to give up in the face of problems or start making excuses. Such people have a problem brain. Their problem brain focuses on problems and not on solutions.
What is Solution Brain? A solution brain is one that focuses not on the problem but on the solution. One who is prepared in advance for every possible problem and also has a system to find a solution to that problem.
Understand the difference between problem brain and solution brain from the graphic below.
Let us understand this with the example of some situations. Learn how the Problem Brain and the Solution Brain react to certain situations.
Situation-1
Suppose, a teacher in school has given homework to a child. If there are many guests at the child's house in the evening, how will the problem brain and the solution brain react to this situation?
Problem Brain- Such children will make an excuse that guests came home in the evening. We got busy with them. Due to this homework could not be done.
Solution Brain- Such children will think that homework has to be done. For this, they will close their room for some time and finish their homework or they will get up early in the morning and finish it.
Situation-2 Suppose, someone in the office is given a project. For this he has to talk to three people. Those three people are not available for some reason. How will problem brain and solution brain react in this situation?
Problem Brain- Such people will go in front of their boss and say that those three did not respond. The work could not be done as these three did not pick up the phone.
Solution Brain- Such people will already follow up from all three persons. Will be constantly connected with them through emails, messages and phone calls, so that they don't miss it. If they cannot come for any reason, Solution Brain will also have an option to have someone else do the job.
Situation-3 Suppose a person is going somewhere and his car gets a puncture. How will problem brain and solution brain react in this situation?
Problem Brain- He will sit and think what to do now. He will look around the shops, which will waste his time.
Solution Brain- It will assume that the car can get punctured anytime and anywhere. For this he will carry a stepney and puncture repair tool kit in his car. He will also know how to fix a puncture.
The solution brain feature is that, it can predict every possible problem and is ready to solve that problem.
Situation-4 Suppose a person wants to go to London from India. For this he has taken a very expensive ticket. He has to reach the airport on time. How will problem brain and solution brain react in this situation?
Problem Brain- If it takes him an hour to reach the airport from home, he will leave a little earlier. But suppose there is a traffic jam on the road, the car gets punctured, the cab driver's health deteriorates or there is an accident, it is possible that he may not reach the airport on time. In such a situation he may even miss his flight.
Solution Brain – He will assume that there may be a jam on the road, the car may break down or some other obstacle may arise. That's why he always leaves for the airport two to two and a half hours before time. It may not take that much trouble for a Delhi to Bhopal flight, but it will definitely take a lot of trouble for a Delhi to London flight because the stakes are much higher here.
Situation-5 How the problem brain and the solution brain react while driving.
Problem Brain- Such people become conscious after the accident but while driving they don't think that the accident can happen not only because of their own fault but also due to the fault of the other person.
Solution Brain- Such people not only drive carefully themselves, but are also alert to the possible mistakes of others. Always ready for quick response on it. They assume that anything can happen at any time while driving.
Make these changes in yourself for Solution Brain By now you must have guessed what kind of brain you have. However, if you want to develop a solution brain, you have to make some changes within yourself.
By adopting these changes you can develop a solution brain mindset. You may also become more able to solve problems in your life. See this in the graphic below-
