Our whole life is a continuous series of choices. Every day we choose: what to wear, what to say, what to do, who to choose, where to go, what to eat, etc. We make most of our choices spontaneously, intuitively and paradoxically, but they often turn out to be the most correct. Intuition is directly connected to the pineal gland of our brain. Over the history of human evolution, people have intensively developed their intelligence. The development of intelligence is directly related to the development of the cerebral cortex. As the development of the skull shows, our brains are much larger than those of Stone Age man. The intensive development of the cerebral cortex has suppressed the activity of the pineal gland, and as a result we have practically lost the ability to intuition. Obviously, in the process of human evolution, the intellect appropriated the function of intuition, replacing it with logical foresight. The same choices that we begin to think about, carried away by logical foresight, become the most complex, taking up our time and energy. Why does this happen? Because one of the tasks of the mind is to analyze information, that is, divide it into parts, compare, classify what is divided into groups, give ratings to all groups, hang labels, create the illusion of choice, and with all these actions really complicate the selection process. A number of factors are added to the analysis of elections, which the complexity of choice makes it almost impossible to choose: The situation of choice sometimes entails a feeling of uncertainty and confusion, which is aggravated by fears, shame, anger, self-doubt, resentment towards loved ones and significant people. Worrying about what others will think of us and the need for closure get in the way. The unknown weighs heavily on most people and pushes them to choose decisions that will have the most likely outcome in the near future. For example, a girl choosing a partner to start a family. Realizing his need for completion, he is in a hurry to choose from what is now, perhaps not the most suitable for the family, but he really wants the result faster. An exaggerated desire to control the situation (sometimes it is important for us to show that nothing can influence us, that we are the masters provisions) The illusion of control has a reverse side - the illusion of lack of choice. In this state, a person, like a voter of choice, suddenly realizes that nothing, in fact, depends on his vote, everything has long been predetermined, all that remains is to passively accept the course of events determined by someone. Preference for zero risk. Most people prefer to avoid risks and therefore often miss opportunities for their own development. Which also ultimately leads to a feeling of dissatisfaction with one’s own choices. Self-sabotage is a typical reaction to an internal contradiction between a conscious attitude and a subconscious desire or belief. Self-sabotage is a very cunning game of the mind. The problem may be that our brain does not see much of a difference between physical and psychological discomfort and tries in every possible way to protect us from both the first and the second. Therefore, patterns of behavior arise to protect our sensitive ego from the wounds associated with disappointment and low self-esteem. By setting ambitious goals for themselves, many people program themselves for failure, because, as Bulgakov wrote, falling from low is not so dangerous, and great success has side effects - great responsibility, the envy of others and high demands on oneself, which are not met. then simply comply in the future. Secondary benefit often prevents you from making a choice towards changes in your own life. A common situation that can be observed on the site’s forum is a person complaining about unbearable living conditions, talking about the fact that he is constantly trying to change them... and does nothing , finding various justifications for this, and simply depreciates all recommendations aimed at choosing towards qualitative changes. All of the above points can be discussed with a specialist. How wisely to act if you find yourself!
