FYI: We all have competing ideas and beliefs in our heads on a regular basis.
Enjoying yourself in the present vs. delaying gratification for the future. Working hard vs. playing hard. Your career life vs. your family life. And so on.
Cognitive dissonance is the behavioral explanation that says our brain seeks to reduce the discomfort caused by two beliefs that are inconsistent with one another. Basically, one wins out, and it’s typically the easier route.
