To continue a bit with the comments on Monday on how to close doors after taking a certain decision, let's delve a bit into how our brain decides it might well, it is easier to make the whole process: making the decision, be satisfied with her and then shut down the alternatives. I spoke a bit about it in the post "You decide to head or heart?. But for starters, instead of an explanation we will use a real example of a person who intuitively understands how those brain mechanisms and takes on their behalf. To this extract fragments of the interview with him last week Mark Berger, supervisor sound mixing and editor, with four of Hollywood's Oscar Cons:
Everything was about being in the right place at the right time, with the right knowledge and have great luck. [...]
All the key moments of my life have been the result of following my intuition and my heart. When I joined the Peace Corps around me told me: "Why do you want your career to throw overboard!?".
They were thinking of a normal life with well-established stages, but I wanted to do something else and I have been fortunate to discover my talent and the rest will appreciate, and by the way I learned a lot of things.
If you're all very planned miss opportunities for change in fortune will visit: directions and new people. Always be alert and catch the flight opportunities, trust your instincts but do not know where it will take.
... And knowing, you know yourself, by confronting uncertainty discover your talents, and that's more important to follow a path. "Do what you feel like," I tell my students.
You know the people that follow my blog I always advocated for balance and Berger is perhaps an extreme case of someone who has let his life be guided by intuition, even at times by chance. And even some might say, hey Mertxe, that you when we talk about Coaching tell us that we have objectives and we plan ....
And both things are true and that is the grace and also the difficulty. Nobody said it was an easy choice. Although the debate continues among neuroscientists, there is increasing evidence, including those made by Antonio Damasio (Descartes' Error) that the rational-emotional separation is almost impossible. Sorry seems to be that first things (emotional-limbic brain), then this information gets to the reason (cortex) and finally the right to send information back to the emotional circuitry, thus forming a kind of feedback loop. A elements involved in these circuits is intuition. Intuition has often been regarded as a kind of information that we came not really know where (a sixth sense, and things he termed some women, others) and gave us some information that had little of sound. Researchers such as Damasio contradict this belief because they believe that intuition is the condensation, a non-conscious level, multiple arguments and information that bring emotion and reason. It is therefore a rich source of information, very complete and very powerful tool in making decisions if they know how to use properly. It is also a well creativity and innovation.
Therefore, we must find the right balance between planning (the rational) and intuition (emotional side). Planning a route to us, guide us, help us to have the perseverance to achieve our goals, but intuition tells us when it's time to turn, change directions, follow the path of our heart. Finding that balance is one of the tasks of a happy life.
And do not forget that most of the time, the decision has been made and no rational explanation is that the way we have to justify ourselves why we do what we do. And that they know very well emotional marketing professionals, although this will be the subject of another post.
