I really enjoy reading about the “mind games” our brains play on us. I’m currently reading a great book by David Robert Grimes called GOOD THINKING.
It’s fantastic!
There are lots of examples of the trickery our minds pull on us. Our minds play tricks on us because they are attempting to conserve energy wherever possible.
Thinking burns calories. Thinking literally burns energy.
So it makes total sense that our brains/minds take lots and lots and lots of shortcuts in an attempt to conserve energy we may need in the future.
The problem is… we don’t realize we’re doing this. It’s unconscious.
Think you can’t be fooled? You can!
Also… thanks to my wonderful friend Thinking Is Power for the book suggestion! I highly recommend reading the book, following THINKING IS POWER on social media, and maybe even questioning some of your mind’s assumptions.
