A Lesson From An Intuitive Coach - Think Clearly Rather Than Like A Pavlog Dog

Because I'm an intuitive coach, I study human psychology with excellent interest. 1 of my favorite case studies is Ivan Pavlov and Pavlov's dogs.

Ivan Pavlov investigated the reflex of a dog's salivary glands to the prospect of food under different conditions, and his results gave rise to the term Pavlov's dogs as exemplifying the idea of conditioned reflex. Just like Pavlov's dogs, humans also act unthinkingly to conditioning, and in several situations lack objective thought. Therefore, once you see people yelling at each other you're conditioned to think they hate each other, when in reality they love each other and love arguing with each other.

When you see two people hugging, it doesn't enter your mind that they could possibly be doing so reluctantly, and only since it really is the social factor to do. Like Pavlov's dogs you're conditioned to assume what you see is what's correct, and that a forest fire is destructive as opposed to regenerative.

Not thinking before reacting can bring disastrous results. Regrettably, it really is quite widespread and hurts lots of people. Don't be one of Pavlov's dogs, but think objectively for your self and don't assume. Feel for your self when judging people and not from what you think you see or other people tell you.

Being a clear thinking individual, i.e. not assuming things and not taking things out of context as a truth, will enhance your life, too as those in your life. Thinking about the fact that our lives take the shape of the decisions we make, if we learned the way to make far better and much more informed decisions, it is both logical and intuitive to reason that the result could be a far better life.

A significant component to intuitive coaching is helping an individual feel what's proper in terms of making decisions and then act on those feelings. Trusting in your self and your own capability invariably leads to far better decisions, far better judgment and far better lives for you too as those around you.
