Why does he do that? Why do I?

Updated: Feb 8

There is an easy, and correct, answer to this.


When you ask YOURSELF: 


"Why does he do that?"

"Why do I do that?"

"Why do they do that?"

"Why does this keep happening?"

— or —

"How can I stop that?"



The ANSWER is, in fact, quite simple​​

​The brain predicts. Life follows.

But I should probably explain that a bit more.



Neuroscience of why we do what we do


Science has revealed that our brains are actually prediction machines.

We don't actually see reality, nor do we 'hear' reality.

Our brain predicts what the signals from our senses (eyes, ears, taste and more) mean, based on our memories and create the experience of life you are having.​


Would you like an example of this?

You can test it yourself here with 2 simple situations:




Situation 1 - Testing your predictions

What do you see below. A bird or a bunny?


Here is the weird part.

If you tell yourself "That is a bird" you will most likely see a bird.​​​


But if you tell yourself "That is a bunny" You can see something different.


We don't see reality. We predict and that creates 'OUR' reality.




Situation 2 - Testing your predictions

Make sure your sound is on, then click on the video


















Notice the change of meaning to "What is that sound?"




Yes, Predictions influence your experience .. but it goes BEYOND that

Predictive evolution

Predictions can be described as deep 'meaning makers' and 'guides' for all your decisions, emotions and wellbeing.

 

Your​​​ predictions influence all aspect of your life, your relationships and more. Your brains predictions make your life better .. or worse. 

So NOW It probably makes sense to you that THAT is important but most others do not know about the predicting brain and that is where the confusion comes in.

The ANSWER to WHY does he do that? It's our predictions, they work based on former experiences and the current meaning they have to us.


Predictions give you ONE way of experiencing things, and you act in accordance with that. It's the same for other people. That is the WHY.


. and what is the SOLUTION?

It is to train your Mind so the predictions change and ​create a better life. for you.

​That is Mind Skills Training (M.S.T.) and it works fast. Just let me know which situation you have and I can help you solve it.
