How would candlelight affect the way you solve problems?

How do you “get better” at something?

I think, “I must fix that… NOW!” I turn the klieg lights of my attention on the challenge in order to exterminate it.  There is another option: candlelight.

As a metaphor, Klieg lighting is extreme, harsh, it makes me squint or wear sunglasses; I contract.

On the other hand, imagine a lit candle. Notice the physical and mental effects of imagining this candle.

Everyone and everything looks more beautiful by candlelight. Because the lighting is softer and warmer, I use different sensory apparatus and respond differently to the stimulus.

How does it affect your thoughts about getting better at something?
