But I HAVE To!
Our primitive brain can lock onto one choice and insist that if we don’t pick that one then… we’ll suffer, we’ll hurt others irreparably, or we’ll die. Yes, the primitive brain is dramatic. It also cares about survival, not thriving.
For thriving… it’s useful to keep exploring until we are aware of at least 5 choices. Why? To come up with five or more choices means we’re open and curious enough to see possibilities where our primitive brain was feeling trapped in a “have-to” binary decision.
