Why Building House Videos Are So Popular

Our minds can be fooled so easily. It cannot differentiate between the real and illusion if the effect is the same. We have often experienced this in our dreams. Even though it was a dream we still get scared of a nightmare. The reason is that it has the same effect. The human brain is unable to distinguish between reality and illusion. We have also discussed it in our article about laughter therapy. Laughter therapy is not about making people laugh by creating humor. Instead, it is a forced and absolutely fake laugh that eventually creates the same effect on our brain.

Whether we want to avoid boredom or it is our nature to have something to do in life, we always keep looking for some task to do. Even lying in our beds with smartphones in our hands may seem like doing nothing. But the truth is that the one who is lying on the bed with the smartphone in their hand is actually doing something. Their mind is processing it as that they are on a task. The task of searching for pleasure, which is like candy to our brain. Procrastinating is not just pleasurable. It also creates an illusion of being busy and doing something, which never makes us realize that we are actually not doing what we are supposed to do. Because, we are getting what we want; serotonin and dopamine.

This is the case when we are doing something which creates a believable illusion for our mind. There is also a case where our mind also gets into believing this illusion.
