Something "bad."..Probably not purely from our habits.🍃

Despite knowing that it's not good...But why do we still do?

🍰 know to lose weight, but still order dessert.

🛒 know to collect money, but still press online orders.

💔 know that this person doesn't love us, but still can't decide.

.

If we learn about brain activity, we will find

The system of thought that influences our decisions the most may not be reason, but "feeling."

.

🧠 our brain has two thinking systems.

⚡ System 1: Think fast.

- Automatic.

- Instinct.

- Based on original / personal experience

- Use emotions and feelings.

- Make a quick decision.

The advantage is that it uses little energy.

But the downside is that there is a high bias.

🐢 System 2: Think slowly.

- Use reason.

- Use consciousness.

- Analysis and comparison

- Fits important decisions.

But it takes more brain energy.

.

The interesting thing is...Our brains choose to use

"System 1" is the default, also known as "Default Mode."

We try to observe ourselves.

When people don't understand, we often get angry first and then find a reason to support it later, or

When we buy things, we often feel like we want to first and then tell ourselves, "Buy because we have to," when sometimes it is not that necessary.

.

The reason why the brain does this is because our bodies are designed to save energy, not because we are bad or undisciplined.

Thinking with reason all the time is like opening a heavy program all day.

So the brain chooses shortcuts through habituation, experience and emotion instead.

.

💡 what has been learned from this is

Don't rush to judge yourself or anyone else.

Because sometimes...What's working may not be a habit.

But it's "brain automation."

That was designed to work that way in the first place.

.

❤️ understanding the brain doesn't make us change ourselves immediately.

But it helps us understand ourselves more.

And maybe be more kind to yourself, too.
