Neurosurvival: the secret that will set you free

Being up-to-date with current affairs is a tremendously automatic act, which could respond to the need to be informed of what is happening in the world. Millions of people, regardless of the country in which they reside, consult, several times during the same day, the new information provided by the media.

In them, events and circumstances that are occurring around the globe are exposed in a crude, morbid and dramatic way. Regardless of where it's happening, if it's lurid enough, it'll echo in your ears. Have you ever wondered what it brings you to have all this information and, at the same time, the impact it has on your life?

• We recommend you read: "Protect yourself against overexposure to the news"

The call of the morbid news

When you watch the show in which they expose you to what is supposed to be the most relevant thing that has happened on the planet, and you see that 9 out of 10 are calamities and unpleasant events of all kinds, which only reflect the dark side of life and being human. When you submit to this negative influence, your mind receives subliminal messages like:

• Life is a horrible place to live. • People are terrible. • All that happens are misfortunes.

Starting because the name of events is totally out of place. It should be called, to warn you: "Today's dramas", or "The world's catastrophes", which would be much more real names. We are going to see the neurological explanation why countless individuals continue to fall into the trap of watching "The misfortunes of the day." The reason is the same as when a traffic accident occurs, when people pass close to it, we reduce the We speed and stare, sometimes forming traffic jams and huge lines of cars just to see what has happened. past.

In general, it is mistakenly thought that we do this for the sake of curiosity, to see if there is blood or things truly out of the ordinary. The truth is that science today knows that when there is an accident and you slow down with the car, as well as most of the people who go in front of you and behind you, you do it with a single unconscious intention, very useful. Observe all the details to see, associate and discern what happened with a single and vital purpose: that this does not happen to me or my family, and it makes sense.

Well, exactly the same thing happens with the news. When you look at it, you're really trying to see, without realizing it, all the lurid things that take place to somehow integrate a way to avoid it so that it doesn't happen to you. What happens with this is that in such a short time you see so many things that are unlikely to happen to you or a member of your tribe, that your brain is not capable of digesting everything. So this garbage stays inside you, it impregnates you, it conditions you and it stays with you. And with this you get nothing useful. We develop this in the complete series of 7 books “Open your eyes”.

That is why if they began to give pleasant and positive news about events that show the goodness of the human race, the ability to overcome, the great creativity that we have, etc., would quickly decrease the audience because for the reptilian brain (in charge of survival) it would not really be a help to survive and, therefore, it would not attract it so much.

The truth is that the probability that an average person, like you and me, will fall on a bomb, or we die hit by a train, or our plane is hijacked is possibly 1 in 1000 million, if not further. So it's up to you to keep getting that stream of darkness and skewed focus, if you were still seeing it. Remember that being informed of what is happening in the world is basic, but you can be selective and go on an information diet, according to your sole and own criteria. In just a few days you will notice the change.

If you want to know about the macroeconomic world, select web portals that really speak to you in a neutral way, observing both the constructive part (which talks about growth and possibilities) and the part that sets economic trends of market. If you want to be informed and know about health issues, or any other field, you already know what to do: look for information. Today we have plenty! Take responsibility for selecting your own books, authors who really give you confidence, YouTube videos, face-to-face conferences, courses... And this will go on configuring your new free and real "you". Stop allowing others to put into your head what interests them.
