Absolutely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Half the battle is sort of knowing it's there.

And also, but I think the thing that's quite important to mention as well is that, you know, in wellness circles, you often hear people say, oh, you should always pay attention to the wisdom of your body and your body knows best and all that sort of thing.

And yes, you know, there is a lot going on that we do ignore in our being up in our head society and world.

But we should always be curious about what the body is saying, because sometimes it leads us astray, just as your eyes can deceive you and your ears can deceive you, sometimes your internal feelings, so your gut feelings, for example, these are some of the sort of subtle changes.

And you might think, oh, this person gives me a bad feeling.

And you might be right, they might be

you know, trying to do you harm.

But it might be, maybe they just remind you of somebody who did you wrong in the past.

And so just having those feelings, noticing them, and then being curious, okay, what's actually this telling me, I think is a really important thing.

Otherwise, you can end up being blindly saying, okay, I feel bad about this, so therefore I'm not going to do it.

So it has to be a source of information that's in the mix.

We definitely need to, I think most of us need to pay more attention to it.

Yeah, I think you can definitely be too highly focused on some things that are going on your body.

And so scientists are trying to work out what it means to have the perfect level of interception.

And I think, so for example, when people have been diagnosed with a cardiac arrhythmia that they didn't know they had, some people get so intensely focused on their heartbeat that they can end up

sort of not being able to leave the house just in case something happens, because every little sensation must be bad and causes panic.

And some kind of things like IBS and some pain disorders, the body brain connection can get out of whack where they get sensitized.
