Have you got yourself in complete knots at this stage?
No, no, I want you to do that for two for two reasons.
One, to illustrate the fact that a lot of our actions are completely unconscious.
And there are also a whole range of things we do, where we are so ingrained in our habits, that we can't actually do something that's quite different.
I think it's fairly even, but the point I wanted to make really was that the power of habit is all encompassing and we do things habitually, unthinkingly, and without any conscious awareness of what we're doing.
This doesn't mean for a moment that other people aren't aware of what we're doing.
what kinds of thoughts and preferences we have, possibly even what we're likely to do next, purely on the basis of our non-verbal behavior.
