If you’ve got a decision to make – wash your hands first...
Before you buy that new car – or decide what restaurant to go to – wash your hands. It could actually change your decision. Humans tend to repeat past decisions instead of trying something new – but a new study found that washing our hands can override that process. Researchers say the reason it works is because washing our hands is pretty much a mindless activity that can have a subconscious “wiping the slate clean” effect. It can help reset the thought process to focus on current needs and separate them from past decisions and influences.
