Jedi Mind Tricks

This week I learned how to change the way that I think.  I learned that when we act out of emotion, we literally become a completely different person.  The reason for this is that the (emotional) part of our brain that senses danger is so prevalent that we are unable to think of anything else besides the perceived threat or possible danger.  So we are unable to think rationally.  One way that we can try to bring that element in in order to make better decisions is that we can become cognitive and aware of what we are feeling and thinking.  This allows some of our rational thinking abilities to start creeping back in and slowly, before  you know it, the crazy element is greatly reduced.
