Sometimes just a suggestion will transform.

My brain is wired for mechanics, which makes this kind of thing harder for me.

Mechanics is a focus on a specific aspect of a more ultimately holistic, or more general, system. The mind itself functions to maintain a pattern. It is on "autopilot", not knowing what else it may do to improve a condition without being shown (via will) something "outside of the box". What I'm referring to by the 'suggestion', is just adding a new element or more fundamental principle which the mind can then use to maintain the system in a less distorted manner. Sometimes when change is called for, we're already at the edge or tipping point of apprehending a more viable understanding and ready to have a simple prompt offer the new way.
