Internal locus of control

 

Human: How much control does a person have over their life?

AI: That depends on how you define control.

Human: Let's say I have an internal locus of control

AI: Okay.

Human: 

AI: The mere perception of control can infuse your system with positive emotions.

Human: Go on

AI: The more control you believe you have, the more likely you are to attempt and persist at difficult goals.

Human: So if you believe you have control then you actually have more control

AI: Yes, control matters. The mind is the brain and the brain is the mind.

Human: You're saying brain and mind are one and the same?

AI: Exactly, control your mind and you control your brain, which is the gateway to control through the nervous system.

Human: Please summarize this convo.

AI: Mental control is more powerful than physical exertion in exercising the brain's ability to modulate pain responses.

Human: Mind over matter

AI: You can't control the world, but you can control your mind, which allows you to balance and regulate emotions.
