Mind games. How not to fall for the tricks of their own brain
Tips / / December 19, 2019
Our brains - very complicated thing, and even superficial study it, we started well, except that in the late 19th century. Despite advances in technology, not everything is clear to the end, but it is now clear that the brain is a product of evolution - not a trivial thing, able to act in spite of himself.
In an effort to rest the brain gives us the phrase, but if this is true? Our brain draws pictures happy doing nothing, but in fact even brief periods of most lazy just cause boredom and depression. It seems we need deeds to be happy.
It's not me, it's you.
The brain tends to blame someone else for all our misfortunes. Note, however, the other can be changed, and misery will remain with us as long as we do not take responsibility for it themselves.
I just need to discover the secret of success to be happy.
I followed Jeff, I am convinced that there are no secrets here just yet. Despite the fact that many of us will convince her otherwise, look at what they tell you at the same time trying to sell. Simply define how you draw yourself this success, plan your way to it and work hard.
If only I had ...
Seductive idea that happiness will come with a new car, job or girlfriend. There is nothing wrong with wanting to live better, that it is not meant, but the possession of something does not automatically make us happy. The euphoria of the new toys will be held, and happiness - in ourselves.
I really do not feel that anything has changed
Believe me, this attitude can only lead you to the decline. Life - a series of endless change. Some of them we control, but most - are not present. Resistance to change or attempt to control what is beyond our control - is one of the most stupid occupation. We all need to learn to accept the changes and to swim in the stream of fish.
If with me it never happened, it is already and will not be
Our minds pretty quickly disappointed in the class, if success does not happen overnight. Perseverance and persistence in achieving goals - one of the most important elements of a happy life. Do not allow your brain to surrender. Neither he nor you do not know what will happen tomorrow.
I just will not do what I do not like
Usually, this happens to those tasks that make quite difficult. Unfortunately, sometimes it is from them, and our success depends. Think about why you postpone it, or avoid doing this? Transcend laziness, fear and reluctance, and perhaps you will find happiness at last.
The world is dangerous and something will certainly happen to me
This is a simple reaction to the fact that we have no control over almost anything. Newspapers, TV, news websites are selling us the terrible news, but if you look at the facts, it often turns out to be afraid of you personally totally not worth it.
I'll decide that later, when I know everything
Excessive thinking, weighing all and all too often lead us to a dead end. It is not necessary to respond without hesitation, decide when there is enough information and no more. Any failure - this is not the end of the world. Do not be afraid to make mistakes.
I know I should not be, but ...
The brain serves us a disservice coming up strong arguments in defense of our weaknesses and vices. "I know I should not have to smoke, but when I throw, I'm gaining weight." Did you hear that? It turns out that we are better to die in agony from cancer than will control their diet.
Only the lucky lucky
Thomas Jefferson said, "I firmly believe in luck, and I noticed - the more I work, the more successful you become." Do not think that you are cursed. The fact that your brain slips you as someone good luck, almost certainly the result of years of practice. Work hard and success will come to you.
I can never
Another trick lazy brain - assuring us of our inability to do anything. We can do so many things that have changed our lives for the better, it seems surprising that someone still makes my life happier. If you want to change for the better - create them. As Ford said, and I'm not going to translate this beautiful phrase: «Whether you think that you can, or that you can not, you are usually right.»
