We are presented with options, and we will choose and decide on them.
What are the elements that we consider before we make a decision?
- Which one gives us more PLEASURE over pain?
- What is EASIER than hard work?
- NO BRAINER, no thought involved, just repeat;
These are the key elements that go through our minds.
- When we drive to work, everyday, it is the NO BRAINER WORK mode, we take the same route to work, when we are in a traffic jam, it is a no brainer, we are not thinking, we will SIT in the traffic jam, when we get to work late, we have the excuse, “the traffic is bad today”, it is accepted, because it is just another day at work, no stress, it is just another ay.
- When we are asked to go somewhere, we will think, Is this EASIER mode than sitting here playing video games or watching a movie? This is EASIER, watching a movie, playing the game, NOPE, I am not going, it involves a lot of work, moving here and there, very stressful.
- When we are asked to go somewhere, we will think, MORE PLEASURE mode than this? YES? Good, let’s move.
We all have these MODES of processing in us; we just have to know, so that we can CHOOSE wisely. EASIER does not mean better, NO BRAINER does not mean better, PLEASURE does not mean better EITHER! Yes, when someone offers you a DRUG that makes you high, it is very pleasurable, takes all your worries away, it is NOT a good thing.
Just be aware of your THINKING, how you CHOOSE, and take charge of your life!
