How To Find What To Do With Your Life

Life. We all have some of it, but it is just so hard sometimes. Especially since we only have one, and every single decision matters. So, how can we find what to do with our lives? You can find what to do with your life by splitting your life into four spheres- financial, social, physical, and intellectual- then deciding how to optimize each. If you know what that means, then you should be good. If you do not, then you must be a mortal. Well, let’s get on with the tour, mortal. Why I Can’t Decide What I Really Want? You can’t decide what you really want because all options have a physical gain, and a social gain, making it seem like there are many options, and none at the same time. Physical gains refer to concrete physical gains that we can get in the world. These include things like money, food, house, a job, a lover, a family, and all these things that follow. Meanwhile, social gains refers to the immaterial things that we can attain. These are things like respect, admiration, people being attracted to you, people being intimidated by you, and other immaterial things we gain. Examples of Social and Physical gain When companies market products, they use these two things. For example, an SUV car will be advertised as being able to drive across treacherous terrain and turn you into a real man. Physical gain here is the car that can take you anywhere, and the social gain is people looking at you in admiration, and intimidation, seeing a “real man”. Every decision we make in life has a physical gain, and some disadvantages. But they also have a social gain and disadvantage. A car may provide you with protection, but it can kill you with debt that you will have to pay for years to come. Meanwhile, a social gain such as admiration, and people being intimidated to you can help, but it has the advantage of leaving you isolated, and lonely. Thus when times get tough, you can’t drop your shell, or you lose people’s intimidation/respect. This is why making decisions is hard. Deciding which college to go to, who to date, where to live, what to study, and all these things is complicated by these things. It would be nice if people took decisions that gave physical gain over social gain. Also, if they’d try to maximize their gain versus their losses. For example, if people went to a cheap college so they can save money, and use it for something. Or if they asked for help when they needed it. However, that is very hard, because people usually can’t tell apart physical and social value. How To Pick The Best Life? Growing up, I’d always wanted to do art for a living. Of course, I was also interested in being some kind of mind doctor (maybe a psychologist), but art was my passion. I mostly wanted to do the doctor thing because it was what would make me look cool. Being a doctor. However, I decide that on the side, I’d draw manga. I started writing stories that I could turn into manga when I grew up. They were simple scripts, written in play format. Eventually, when I’d finally filled a number of books with these stories, I had a silly idea. Why don’t I just write a book? It took a while, but eventually I’d written a book. It was one of the most fun experiences of my life. After the book won a competition, I decided that I will just be a writer. Today, I’m studying to be a clinical psychologist. However, I am also working on my official debut novel. There are a number of ways to decide what to do with your life. Today, I am going to be discussing one I recently learned on a book called Deep Work. Let’s dig in. How Do I Decide What To Do With My Life? 1. You Could Improve Your Life With The Your Unconscious Mind The first technique you could use to decide what to do with your life is using your unconscious mind to make the decision. This theory is a theory that applies to decision making, impression formation, attitude formation, and change, problem solving, and creativity, as described by Dijksterhuis A. This theory states that there are 2 types of thought; unconscious thought, and conscious thought. They then conclude that these two types of thoughts can be used in different situations, but the what we are mainly interested in is the line, “For instance, contrary to popular belief, decisions about simples issues can be better tackled by conscious thought, whereas decisions about complex matters can be better approached with unconscious thought.” The rest of the study can be read here. The experiment The primary difference between the conscious mind and the unconscious mind is that the conscious mind is bounded and restrained. Meanwhile, the unconscious mind reaches out and sees all the angles and information that it knows to make decisions. Dijksterhuis performed a research experiment to test this. You can read the rest here. He broke a group into 3. Each group received a picture. One group was asked to make a decision immediately on which they liked the most. The second was asked to study the pictures, and make a list of the ones they liked and didn’t. The last group was given puzzles to solve for five minutes, and then asked immediately to choose which picture they liked. A month later, they asked how much each of the members liked their picture, and how much they’d sell it for, they found only the third group was attached to the picture. They sold their picture for more money. If this is true, I can easily by pass things like social gain for physical gain. The 6 Principles of Unconscious Thought Theory The theory uses 6 core principles for it to work: So, how do
