It is your fault!

“You cannot blame me for that! My job is not inspire you or motivate you to do anything, that is your decision, I just give you the elements in a neutral way, you decide how to interpret them and what to do with them” Said angrily a voice in my head.

“But you made me feel sad with the images you were showing me!” My conscious mind answered defensively.

“No, you cannot blame for how you feel, or how those images made you feel, it was actually you who decide to interpret them as sad images, but they are not, they are just images, I told you my role is not making you feel happy, motivated or sad and depressed, I am just….here!” Was her last answer.

Nevertheless my subconscious mind was right, I had decided to classify those images as sad and then I had begun all the processes in my brain to make my whole body feel sad.  Not a simple task since it took a lot of resources and energy, being sad is not as easy as it sounds. It takes a lot of hard work and effort!
