Developed Habits
They unload our minds from our constant decision making, and provide us with ways to relax.

Colors and Psychology
It investigates how the colors affect us. Colors can change our perception, alter our senses, make us emotional, improve our memory and attention, and even influence our decisions.

We often decide based on rapid comparisons without really thinking about our options. In order to avoid bad decisions, relying on logic and thoughtful examination of the options can sometimes be more important than relying on your immediate "gut reaction."

Coping with changes
Facing and eventually coping successfully with changes can make people go through all kind of emotions that finally lead to them changing their mind, in order to better adjust to the new situations.
Thing that is perfectly normal, as it is easier to live at peace with your current life than oppose it endlessly and know only frustration.
The "psychological immune system"
We rationalize the things we feel stuck with.
It seems like we free up mental space to get on with our lives by deciding things are not so bad, after all.
