The Pyramid Mind Quotes

“When you do some action for the very first time, you use your conscious mind. You pay attention, exert self-control, and spend much mental resource overall. But if you perform this action repeatedly and over a prolonged period of time, it can then turn into a habit. It becomes so ingrained in your mind that you don’t need to think of how to do it any more. You just do it. You don’t have to consciously recall how to carry out any of these tasks. If you want to walk, you just walk and don’t think of how to move your legs. When you get into your car, you don’t remind yourself how to start the car, how to use the indicators or how to pull over.”

“We are far more likely to notice things that arouse emotions – be they positive or negative. Emotions attach significance to events. As a result, we are wired to remember things that bring good or painful emotions.”
