TIPS FOR ORGANISING YOUR THOUGHTS IN A VISUAL WAY.

INTRODUCTION

According to studies the average number of thoughts running through a human mind is around 6000 per day. One needs to organize and structure them to avoid chaos and mess inside the mind that ultimately leads to burn out and even the most normal things will start scaring you after this.

For once compare your brain with your phone. If there is too much data stored in the phone, it starts to hang and requires cleaning and rebooting, similarly our little mind gets tired too. To perform well in different sectors of life, one must know how to transform everything visually and be creative with ideas.

Let's learn about mind mapping

Mind mapping is considered to be one of the most effective ways to structure and convert thoughts visually.

The best way to understand mind mapping is to write the main title in the center and write all the details of that topic in the form of branches coming out of that central topic. Now repeat the same process in your mind again and again. This process will help you practice, and your brain will get a good amount of training to think like that. 

You can compare it with a tree and its branches or the sun and its rays.

CREATING MENTAL IMAGES WHILE READING.

One other way that can help you visually organize your thoughts is to create images while reading. For example, if you are reading a love story, build your characters, and give them your faces and individuality, this way you will remember all the characters and the story very precisely.

This method of memorization is known as photographic memory because with every word you are creating images of that word in your mind.

HOW TO START AS A BEGINNER

To start with the practice of mind mapping go for simpler topics like " planning a trip" then you can write all the pros about the place with green arrows pointing at them and cons with red arrows pointing at them and all the places to explore with the blue arrows pointing at them. 

The more creative you will reflect, the more easily your mind will absorb all the details.
