What was I thinking?

Have you ever said... proclaimed, “What was I thinking?” ....you know, or, “I know better than that!” after you did something stupid. Well I think most of us can relate to that, but what seems to mystify us, how and why we’re so shocked, is because “we know better.” At least, half of us “ knows better.” The half that “knows better” is your rational mind. A rational mind knows a lot of things, but somehow we don’t always do them. That’s because we’re influenced by our emotional mind, our other half. When we make decisions, we make them based upon what we think but also based upon what we feel, and sometimes our feelings are not normal. Like, take a person with a phobia of spiders. They might run out of the room because they see a spider, but there’re other people in the room, and they don’t tell anyone else to run out, because they know rationally that the spider can’t hurt them. So, they don’t need to save them from the spider. Yet, they still run out. They might even be embarrassed because they know better. They know the spider can’t really hurt them. So, our emotional mind can trump our rational mind. And this happens a lot if you have a whole lot of emotional experiences throughout your life that cause you to feel particularly insecure, inadequate, ugly, stupid. All kinds of things that are emotionally charged can happen to us and leave us feeling a certain way, even though rationally, we don’t think that way. So, what are we supposed to do? We try to apply rational thought and say, “Spiders can’t hurt me.” But the fear is still there, the heart still palpitates and we still do something rash. So, this is what we need to do is focus on the emotional mind and what are the bits of information, the experiences. What is going on in our emotional mind that’s compelling us to make these irrational decisions and act irrationally behaviorally? Well, that’s where Enlight comes in. It’s an application that addresses and identifies what emotional software program you have, your particular set of experiences in life, and interpretations, and finds the ones that are causing you to have a disproportionate response to something and neutralizes them. So it rewrites that particular pattern of information so that you won’t feel that disproportionate fear, and now you can follow what’s reasonable without being overwhelmed by your disproportionate feelings or fears or insecurities. So, give it a try.
