Its all in your head

I find it very interesting that we do alot of things our brain tells us too, even though we know it won't work or isn't right. I was eating lunch with my sister today and she had some chips on her plate; she picked up a large chip that had a few smaller chips on it and shook them off. I asked her why she did that if she was going to eat those small ones as well and she laughed and couldn't give me an answer. I bet so many times our minds tell us not to do something and so we automatically don't do it and a few seconds after realize that we should or vice versa. The other day I had a frapp in my hand and I was driving home. I had to take a turn and the drink was still in my hand and also holding the wheel at the time. In my head I knew I needed to slightly turn and let the wheel spin back so the drink wouldn't spill; but what did I do? Turn the wheel the whole way totally spilling my whole drink in my car. And all I could do was laugh because I had just thought that I needed not to do that. I suppose that is why we are supposed to think about our choices, but not just think, we need to stop and think that way it gives us time to do what is right.
