Two Cognitive Biases - Confirmation Bias & Planning Fallacy Bias

Two Cognitive Biases - Confirmation Bias & Planning Fallacy Bias

Author: Self-Actualization Above The Line January 2, 2024 Duration: 18:33

There are a few ways to intervene and stop the unconscious from wreaking havoc or just making your progress slower than it needs to be.

* Meditating - especially guided where you rewrite your beliefs and associations

* Neuro-Linguistic Programming to interrupt and change limiting patterns

* Hypnosis to eradicate old beliefs

* Change the relationship between the conscious mind and the unconscious

* Education and allowing inaccurate references to dissolve

I can’t speak for everyone, but because of my bias toward science and desire to understand how things work, my preferred approach is to use a combination of education, and experimentation as part of the action plan and retrain the unconscious. Much the way it was trained to begin with.

This approach has the built-in obstacle of the unconscious standing guard at the entrance of your mind - virtually rejecting anything unfamiliar and therefore deemed dangerous. It’s like asking the unconscious if this new unfamiliar way of doing things is safer than the approach its used all these decades. Of course, it will reject it. New equals unfamiliar and unfamiliar equals dangerous.

Hosted by Self-Actualization Above The Line, Transformation After 50 is a conversation for those who suspect their best chapters are still ahead. This isn't about quick fixes or superficial change; it's a deep, practical exploration of what it means to truly live "above the line"-that self-imposed ceiling on our potential for health, wealth, love, and overall happiness. Each episode delves into one of the '7 Fitness Areas', a framework that moves beyond the physical to examine the mental, emotional, and strategic muscles we need to develop. You'll hear candid discussions and actionable insights focused on navigating second acts, reinventing careers, and cultivating a richer personal life. This podcast operates on the core belief that the upper limits we perceive are largely imaginary, and that profound growth is not only possible but can be strategically pursued. It’s for listeners ready to challenge their own set points and unlock a more expansive version of their lives, finding that transformation is a continuous, engaging process. Tune in for thoughtful guidance that blends education, business acumen, and personal management, all aimed at meaningful self-improvement.
