The bifurcation point is a concept from the technical vocabulary and denotes bifurcation. Or rather, a short moment before the choice, when the system in an unpredictable way can begin to unfold either in one direction or the other, after which there is no return to the past.

The situation has become either one or the other.

In a psychological context, this is the point at which we stop, being faced with a choice and hesitating between options.

It is sometimes difficult for us to make a choice, because choosing one option, we automatically lose the opportunity to get the second. The state of awareness that when I choose one good (one option), and never know, and what would have happened if I had chosen the second, is sometimes simply unbearable for a person. And a person may choose not to make a choice.

At this point of bifurcation, without making a choice, he thinks that he is protecting himself from the torment after the choice, but at the same time he does not realize that he is wasting a lot of energy without making a decision. The payback for "not choosing" can be illness, neurotic disorders, and sometimes life.

Our life is a series of decisions, a constant choice. Making a choice - we kind of give the direction of energy, where it should flow. We give our unconscious a certain reference point where the ship will sail. Without making a choice, the energy stagnates, the ship runs aground.

Therefore, whether we like it or not, we need to make a choice, and sometimes a lot depends on this choice. So how do you make the right choice? How not to make a mistake and not regret then all your life?

Here, everyone has different things:

• Someone trusts their inner voice, intuition;
• Someone relies on their previous experience, the experience of ancestors, elders, authorities;
• Someone honors a code, public opinion, or a set of rules in their religion;
• There are those who rely on tarologists, fortune-tellers, psychics;
• Few people go to a psychologist to consciously decide with his help what might be the best choice for him.
• Well, for the extreme option there is a coin - heads or tails sometimes decide the fate.

Neurophysiologists have scientifically proven that we make decisions and choices about 250 milliseconds before realizing a situation. That is, someone makes the choice for us. Who is this someone?

We constantly receive information from the external environment and from the internal environment of the body. All this information merges into one stream and enters the pyramidal neurons of the cerebral cortex (the largest cells of the brain, where all streams of information merge).

From the memory of the individual, that is, the personal experience of an individual and species memory (all species heritage transmitted to a given person), the information flow of the external and internal environment is analyzed and the priority of goals is formed, dividing into more important and less important ones.

Based on these goals, an optimal program of action is formed, that is, how we will act based on the information received and the best experience of the individual recorded in the memory. Neural network oscillations are created, which constantly transmit information to our organs, forming our motor activity, having already information what needs to be done. This system works automatically, unconsciously.

That is, our internal computer has already calculated how to act in the best possible way, based on the available resources and information, and made a decision. And only after 250 milliseconds, when the feedback went to the brain, we realize what we have done.

Therefore, the decision was made for us, without us.

Based on research data, you do not need to pull your hair out because you once made the wrong choice. There and then he was optimal.

It would seem, but what to do? Relax and have fun? Almost.

It is necessary and possible to work with species and individual memory, that is, the attitudes of the genus and personal childhood attitudes that were not adopted by you or you in childhood, and continue to influence your decisions today.

This is the job of psychologists, hypnotherapists and psychotherapists. By working with your past consciously, they help you change the decisions about yourself and the world that you made in an unconscious period. And thereby changing your individual memory and attitudes, you can qualitatively influence the entire chain of the unconscious decision-making process.

Today I want to share one of the life hacks that I sometimes use myself.

Since I am a hypnotherapist and I work a lot with unconscious material, I know that one of the direct channels through which the unconscious controls us is our body. I think that many of the readers have had cases in their life when "the legs did not carry", and then you understood why, or when the body, as it were, unfolded or delayed you. The decision is made and the body obediently fulfills it.

This connection can be used before making a choice. Close your eyes, relax your body, arms, head. Raise your hands in front of you, spread them to the sides and imagine that your palms are the scales. Put in the palm of your hand what you choose between. These can be people, jobs, situations, objects. Anything. Whichever hand pulls down, that choice "weighs more" for you, that is, it matters more at a given moment in time, based on all the information received by your internal computer.

Of course, at this moment you have chosen long ago, but with the help of the body, your choice will be more conscious and can be analyzed.

Well, and to make or not make a choice is also a choice:)

Good choices for you!
