We make these very basic assumptions and we just fight for them to be true.

So your ability to deceive yourself because your mitochondria are low on power or because they're stressed and afraid

It's a problem.

But if you have more peace and more energy, you actually make much better decisions cognitively.

But when someone's always in their head, it's because they have PTSD.

Yeah, they make emotional decisions, right?

Yeah.

Well, it's different.

You'll make an emotional decision, but you'll think about it.

The thing is, the emotions happen first.

So the emotions set the tone of reality.

Then your brain gets to think about it for a while.

And it believes the emotions and it makes up stories to justify them.

So when it comes down to just being a high performance human, you want to not think about things all the time.

You want to be able to just have a peaceful awareness of things and then think about it consciously instead of unconsciously.

And unconscious thinking is when you ruminate.

And like how many times, especially, I mean, when you're under 30, what did that person say about me?

What do they think about me?

Just all that stuff.

Living in the past.
