We all like to believe we see the world objectively, but our brains are constantly shaping personal stories that help us make sense of each moment. This post explores how context and popular culture influence perception and how awareness of this supports psychological wellbeing.
Even small shifts in our emotional state can quietly shape our decisions, what we notice, how we weigh risks, and what feels right. This post explores evidence from psychology and neuroscience showing how subtle mood variations influence everyday judgement and choice.
Thoughts are invented within our minds. They help us make meaning through comparisons, ideas, fantasies, and possibilities, but they are not to be taken as unquestioned facts or truths. By observing them with caution and care, we create space to act in ways that align with our values rather than being swept along by fear, desire, habit, or old patterns.
It is common to think we make decisions logically, yet even subtle emotions can shift our choices. Research shows that emotions influence what we notice, the risks we take, and the confidence we feel. Learn practical, evidence-based strategies to balance emotions and reason so your decisions reflect both clarity and what truly matters to you.
