Cognitive inertia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cognitive inertia refers to the tendency for beliefs or sets of beliefs to endure once formed. In particular, cognitive inertia describes the human inclination to rely on familiar assumptions and exhibit a reluctance and/or inability to revise those assumptions, even when the evidence supporting them no longer exists or when other evidence would question their accuracy. The term is employed in the managerial and organizational sciences to describe the commonly observed phenomenon whereby managers fail to update and revise their understanding of a situation when that situation changes, a phenomenon that acts as a psychological barrier to organizational change.

May the Lord guide us in revising our beliefs about each other. May we allow for the transformative power of the Holy Spirit.

Pilot's action

Washing one's hands has been shown to eliminate post-decisional dissonance, presumably because the dissonance is commonly caused by moral disgust (with oneself), which is related to disgust from unsanitary conditions.

Nature Disfigured

Disfiguring of a silver tip maple

a beautiful nest balanced between two branches

why?

so that when the wind blows the tree won't touch the wires

the beautiful, man-made wires

Learn

"I learned which bridges should be crossed 

and which should be burned."

Coehlo

He works on us in all sorts of ways: not only through what we think our “religious life.”
He works through Nature, through our own bodies, through books, sometimes through experiences which seem (at the time) antiChristian.
But above all, He works on us through each other.

- C.S.Lewis - Mere Christianity

The Path

And time will cease to exist, 

because in the land of pleasure born of true love, 

everything is infinite.

Coelho

Good Night

Let Us

Let us plunge together, then, down the dangerous path of surrender. It may be dangerous, but it is the only path worth following.

Therefore

what the future holds for you 

depends entirely 

on your capacity for love.

Come to the light

Be Vulnerable

Be vulnerable.
Let yourself be deeply seen,
love with your whole heart,
practice gratitude and joy…be able to say ‘I am thankful to feel this

vulnerable because it means I am alive’, 

and believe ‘I am enough.’
You are worthy of love & belonging.

- Brene Brown, The Power of Vulnerability

Shall I write your name in?
