There is something in every human consisting of dysfunctions that appears when it comes to certain growth resistance. We tend to fog things out similar to what happens when we drink or drug into a sedation mode. Why we do this may not be clear (fog-pun), but it takes place, nevertheless. Our focus should be on how not to & at the very least, learn to overcome & rise above this mist of negative force
RESISTANCE EQUALS GROWTH
Anytime you find yourself resisting a change, a belief in place, fighting doing something, arguing & even defending an idea, suggestion or new way, beware as this is the opposite of what should take place. We should want & invite growth. Resistance indicates this "growth" is for you. It's your answer to prayer, want & portion plus your heart's desires. Don't resist, go toward it.
I can see but not process it all clearly
WORTHY NOTE: You must do what you do not want to do or even like = Growth
DEER IN THE HEADLIGHTS
The fog of life or fogging something out is similar in the deer in the headlight dynamic where the light blinds instead of helps. Many deer did not know what hit them. We should be enlightened, brightened & be prosperous when light is shined on anything making us see it more clearly, a very good thing. Go to light!
THE FOG
It can be triggered by a sophisticated, complex & intellectual dynamic or even something on a sixth-grade level the point being when the "the fog" takes place, it prevails albeit for a short time. Often, we recognize something is not right & wonder why can't I get it or grasp it? This step-by-step approach may help.
TIME-OUT TO THE RESCUE
You cannot force learning. It has been tried & often the person it is tried on is blamed for "not getting it" when it just doesn't make sense to them thus the "fog" appears. They have blotted it out! Rejection is unleashed. We/they are done in that moment. Come back another time & try again, often with good or better results
RECOGNIZE YOU ARE FOGGING
For an adult to admit they don't get what is visiting with them, being explained to them & is required of them, comes with potential for embarrassment, humiliation & resentment. Who wants to be judged for practicing being a perceived idiot? The best way to handle is to admit, for whatever reason, I am not able to process now
IT IS ONLY TEMPORARY
Fogging is a temporary condition that will not & cannot last unless you are taking advanced trigonometry LOL. Whatever is being fogged, this too shall pass. Spend no time analyzing, apologizing or beating yourself up for not "getting it". You will
WORTHY NOTE: College attendees, usually young men & women, fog continuously stressing out about grades, failing the class, jeopardizing their degree all the while their deodorant is expiring LOL. Usually trying too hard is the culprit. Relax & it happens. Not knowing your major produces fog too. The flow knows. Seek it
Q & A TO THE RESCUE
This helps a lot i.e. being able to ask questions when the fog visits providing you are in an environment that allows or supports this. Teachers help but do not guarantee you get it, work force employees get frustrated with you needing special attention, & others see it as a chance to judge & condemn you to death
WORTHY NOTE: I thank everyone who took the time to make sure I was okay
HUMOR HELPS YOU
I don't advise to start laughing out loud LOL when the fogging is working its nonsense. You can grin, bear it, smile & immediately take stock & go within or you will be classified as going mad. Laugh all you want later. For now, dignified, help please composure of some sort until we can approach this again or we do get it
TRUE FOG STORY
I am working at Disneyland California being trained on the Star Tours attraction. You got 7 short line cues, that hold 7-11 people in each queue, requiring you keeping track of any space you didn't fill & have left. Groups like to stay together & all seats must be filled to keep the waiting in line down to a minimum. I had trouble with remember how many I had left to fill in each queue. NOTE: All this done under time pressure as the rides must launch quickly & efficiently.
I WAS NOT FLOWING
I was asked if I had any room left for 1, 2, or 3 people of which I needed time to answer. Then came my lunch break of which I was, pulled aside, talked to & asked if I was getting this, needed help or (?). I played it out like I' got it (not). Went home dejected because of the FOG! I could not grasp what was presented. Others saw it
PENNIES FROM HEAVEN
I talked with my wife & came up with a great solution suited to the way I learn. I got 49 pennies, representing 7 queues of 7-11 people. I then had groups sound off via pennies after I asked how many in your group & took the pennies & filled the queue noticing how much I had left to fill by glancing not memorizing. Did this 3 times & I got it! Went to work at Star Tours the next day & my lines filled up the fastest. I even used to go to others saying: I got room for more (1, 2, 4, etc.)
The fog of life will visit. However, I am still here while the fog went bye-bye
