### Elephant Rider
---
- metaphor describing our internal interactions
- elephant = emotional side
- rider = rational side
### Cognitive resource
-V-
- capacity, depleting, replenishing, growing
The **rider** is tiny but intelligent,<br />holding the reigns and choosing the right path.
---
The **elephant** is huge but simple,<br />with a mind of its own.
### Emotional aversion
-V-
- lowering the barrier
Most of the time, the elephant let's the rider lead the way.
But at 6 tons it won't be bossed around! <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
-V-
If the rider is indecisive or tired,<br />the elephant will do as it likes.
If the elephant gets scared,<br />it will not obey the rider.

### Ego depletion
- making decisions (big or small) is tiring
- everyone has some operational capacity <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- when the capacity is depleted, we let the emotional side take over <!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
-V-
#### Replenishing the capacity
- allows us to avoid the depletion
- needs to be done in advance<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- take breaks<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- do simple manual activities<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- improve your mood<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
-V-
#### Growing the capacity
- it is possible to increase our capacity
- by building positive habits<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- by lowering an emotional aversion<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
-V-
#### Emotional aversion
- some activities appear daunting right away:
- demanding lots of effort<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- ambiguous; many unknowns<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- uncomfortable or even painful<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- this creates an emotional barrier<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
- lowering the barrier makes an activity approachable<!-- .element: class="fragment" -->
-V-
The **rider** must plan around the **elephant's** needs
to make good progress on their journey
without being thrown into a ditch.
