When your rationality wants one thing
|
|
|
|
but your emotions do something else.

### Elephant Rider
|
|
|
|
- metaphor describing our internal interactions
|
|
- elephant = emotional side
|
|
- rider = rational side
|

|
|
|
|
The **rider** is tiny but intelligent,<br />holding the reigns and choosing the right path.
|
|
|
|
The **elephant** is huge but simple,<br />with a mind of its own.
|
|
|
|
-V-
|
|
|
|
Most of the time, the elephant let's the rider lead the way.
|
|
|
|
But at 6 tons it won't be bossed around! <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->

|

|
-V-
|
|
|
|
If the rider is indecisive or tired,<br />the elephant will do as it likes.
|
|
|
|
If the elephant gets scared,<br />it will not obey the rider.

### Ego depletion
|
|
|
|
- making decisions (big or small) is tiring
|
|
- everyone has some operational capacity <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- when the capacity is depleted, we let the emotional side take over <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
|
|
-V-
|
|
|
|
#### Replenishing the capacity
|
|
|
|
- allows us to avoid the depletion
|
|
- needs to be done in advance<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- take breaks<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- do simple manual activities<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- improve your mood<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
|
|
-V-
|
|
|
|
#### Growing the capacity
|
|
|
|
- it is possible to increase our capacity
|
|
- by building positive habits<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- by lowering an emotional aversion<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
|
|
-V-
|
|
|
|
#### Emotional aversion
|
|
|
|
- some activities appear daunting right away:
|
|
- demanding lots of effort<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- ambiguous; many unknowns<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- uncomfortable or even painful<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- this creates an emotional barrier<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
- lowering the barrier makes an activity approachable<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
|
|
|
|
-V-
|
|
|
|
The **rider** must plan around the **elephant's** needs
|
|
|
|
to make good progress on their journey
|
|
|
|
without being thrown into a ditch.
