A Little Magic.
Sometimes all we need is a little magic. Our lucky socks. That right song coming on at the right time. A chance encounter with wildlife.
We are always one factor away from something magical in life. It’s what keeps us coming back.
The Placebo Effect
I will harp on this again and again. In different language for different circumstances. But, what you believe is what matters most. It’s not about always doing the right thing. It’s not about this, that, and the other. It’s about what you believe. What you believe about situations, and circumstances.
There have been tons of scientific studies looking into the strength of the placebo effect.
”Research indicates the brain responds to an imagined scene in much the same way as it responds to an actual visualized scene.”
People try to sell this, and market it, and mask it in so many different ways. Manifesting. The Golem Effect. The Pygmalion Effect. The list goes on and on depicting the ways in which people perceive the placebo effect.
And it all comes down to belief really. I’ve found that when someone truly believes they are empowered. So… what do you want to believe?
That’s all folks! I hope you enjoyed this week’s edition. Not a ton of photos, been kinda wild with this atmospheric river huh? Haha, it has been raining all day long.
I hope you’ve been well.
As always,
Stay warm.
