your body pick up on a wide range of internal stimuli, such as the amount
of salt in your blood or the need to drink when thirsty.
The most powerful of all human sensory abilities, however, is vision.
The human body has about eleven million sensory receptors.
Approximately ten million of those are dedicated to sight. Some experts
estimate that half of the brain’s resources are used on vision. Given that we
are more dependent on vision than on any other sense, it should come as no
surprise that visual cues are the greatest catalyst of our behavior. For this
reason, a small change in what you
see can lead to a big shift in what you
do. As a result, you can imagine how important it is to live and work in
environments that are filled with productive cues and devoid of
unproductive ones.
Thankfully, there is good news in this respect. You don’t have to be the
victim of your environment. You can also be the architect of it.
