Our brain engages in a predictive process to budget energy and thrive in life
We our energy machines, consuming and burning energy. Life is energy. Survival requires budgeting of precious energy, stubbornly expending the treasured commodity on behaviors that enhance rather than waste. Unnecessary movement and energy draining ruminations depletes, leaving less life energy to propel us forward, not only to survive but to thrive in our complex and competitive world. We predict, we budget, and we expend energy. In psychology, an abundance of new research is built on the theoretical foundation of the predicting mind and energy budgeting. Prediction Psychology is the psychological concept that our brain's main purpose is maintaining homeostatic balance through predicting energy need and budgeting energy to fulfill those needs.
