Have you noticed your two different ways of thinking? We have one\u00a0system of thinking that is fast, intuitive, emotional and at a\u00a0 \u201cgut reaction\u201d level, and another system of thinking that is slower, logical and involves an attentive deliberation.<\/p>\n

These different thought processes can also be understood in terms of conscious and unconscious processes.<\/p>\n

The following incidents are examples of the different speeds of thought and the resulting mostly automatic behaviours.<\/p>\n

A friend told me about a time when a snake slithered over his foot and he felt his body freeze.\u00a0 He vividly remembers the experience of not being able to move during this snake encounter.<\/p>\n

A woman once told me about being in a situation where someone said something that she found so outrageous and offensive that she felt herself freeze and having no ability to speak and no idea of how to respond.<\/p>\n

I was with another friend swimming in a small shallow rock pool when she suddenly jumped up feeling panicked and started to flee from the water.\u00a0 She later told me she thought she had felt a blue whale brush her leg.<\/p>\n

I was with a group of friends when we heard a loud noise.\u00a0 I noticed how we all turned toward each other looking for reassurance and safety from people we each felt a positive connection with.\u00a0 With the realisation that it was a heavy object that had fallen and that everything was okay, we were all able to again relax and enjoy our friendships.<\/p>\n

On a trip to America I remember how deliberate I had to be when paying at restaurants.\u00a0 I had to calculate and add the appropriate tip to the bill.<\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

With the exception of the last scenario, you can see how the thinking and behaviours are fast, automatic and outside of conscious awareness and control.\u00a0\u00a0The last situation is an example of slow and conscious thinking.<\/p>\n

Our fast thinking –\u00a0our\u00a0habits – often serves us well. \u00a0I like\u00a0I can tie my shoe laces, drive the car and read without conscious\u00a0effort. \u00a0What about though when our fast thinking does not\u00a0serve us well?<\/p>\n
