Controlling the uncontrollable

-Thread-

What we tend to forget, is that we are, at the essence, nothing but animals.

Which means that we are fueled by our nature and instincts.

Now, humans are smarter than others animals.

Intelligence that resides in our capacity to analyze events and value ideas.

We are conscious.

When you act based upon your instincts, it is your subconscious taking control.

Or in other words, you living on autopilot.

Delegating the control of your life to your unthoughtful actions.

Your reflexes.

Your primitive side.

So,how can one ONLY make conscious decisions?

By acknowledging information and realizing the subconscious nature of it.

Face your fears and joys.

Understand what triggers your emotional reactions and work on having pre-made fabricated and fake emotional responses.

By taking control and acknowledging your subconscious, through visualization (my method is to write it all down)

You are able to consciously comprehend yourself and understand the how and why of your behavior.

There is no reason for you to function on automatisms
