If we know that intuitive trains of thought seek open channels (free of static) upon which to convey strings of insight, which enhance our thought processors' ability to balance emotion with logic, then how can we silence our run away imaginations from fabricating situations that exacerbate inner conflict at those times when brainstorming toward resolving life's most difficult dilemmas proves necessary to peace of mind?
First, we must remind ourselves that our brains are not wired to consciously juggle opposing trains of thought, simultaneously. With that thought in mind, common sense suggests that we consciously sit our decision makers in time out until our intelligence calms a run away imagination from conjuring up fear-based scenarios, which stimulate an over-production of adrenalin that runs interference with clarity of intuitive thought by heightening anxiety, unnecessarily.
If you ask me to specify the string of insights that brightened my think tank to absorb the wisdom of calling upon my self disciplined Line of (emotional) Control to quiet my decision-maker until my sense of equilibrium is re-established, I'd reply:
It's a well known fact that survival instincts, aroused by spiking anxiety, limit our thought processors to fight-freeze-flee. Knowing that anxiety shuts the door on my thought processor's natural brainstorming abilities alerts my solution-seeker to delay brainstorming toward workable solutions until the fear-based arousal of my basic instincts has relaxed, thus freeing Mother Nature's gift of intuitive thought to do its best work while the rest of me sleeps through the still of the night.
(How many times have you heard your intuitive voice say: I need to sleep on it.)
Each time I consciously call forth my Line of Control to act like a safety valve I find that Mother Nature's original gift of Animal Instincts is less likely to short circuit her more recent gift of Intuitive Prowess, which she saw fit to confer upon the human species as the evolutionary process of survival of the fittest saw our brain stems expand until the development of the neo Cortex transformed Homo sapiens into the thought-processing beings, whom we prove to be, today ...
Each time my neo Cortex feels free of stress-based static, intuitive streams of consciousness are likely to empower my solution seeker with the mental clarity, necessary, to hone in on insights, passed down through the ages, thus expanding my mental acuity to consider confounding predicaments from every angle before my decision maker chooses the choice that's most likely to balance my sense of emotion and logic more wholly than any other.
Having come to understand that mental clarity depends upon stabilizing my brain's ability to balance (rather than denying) the full spectrum of my emotional reactions in a logical manner, I choose to delay brainstorming toward the best possible solution until I've re-established a balanced state of mind.
Experience has taught me that any sudden spike in anxiety, which feels close to impossible to calm, is a natural reaction whenever an inner conflict divides my highest priorities into separate camps:
Be true to myself
Be true to everyone I love
I mean, 'what if' my run away imagination directs my thought processor to believe that being true to many loved ones requires my heart to forsake a choice that would free my mind of an inner conflict, which having been subconsciously repressed in an unprocessed state ever since childhood, has weighed heavy on my spirit, haunting my peace of mind, over most of my life?
How deep into my subconscious past can my heart, mind and spirit hope to dive in order to reveal and heal a wound to self esteem that runs so darkly fearful as to disrupt my old soul's peace of mind whenever being true to my deepest self seems to clash discordantly with being true to everyone I love?
