Human beings have a deep-seated desire for certainty and control. Several studies show this need serves at least two important purposes.
Your sense of control is how much control you feel you have over your life. You may feel you have a lot of control, or you may feel you have very little. Having the right amount of control is what helps keep you balanced. Feeling that you have no control can lead to anxiety or depression.
Design your surroundings to make good choices. We often think that achieving a task is just about getting out there and doing it.
