The emotion stimulates a circuit of physiological response.
And from the beginning to the end takes less than 90 seconds.
So if I'm staying angry for longer than 90 seconds or sad or jealous or whatever for longer than 90 seconds, then I need to ask myself, do I really want to stay in that loop or am I ready to let it go?
I truly believe that our number one job is to love one another.
And I think if we come from that and we have in our mind that whatever I'm going to use my energy on benefits all of us, then we all profit.
So this is a human brain with a spinal cord.
Such a masterpiece.
But what people don't know is that we have four different structured parts of our brain that automatically shape how we think, feel, and behave.
But what if it's not unconscious?
What if we could pick and choose how we want to be in any moment on purpose?
Like we can manifest our own mental health.
Absolutely.
You're going to so get it.
We have a problem.
We are skewed as a society to the two parts of the left brain, which focuses on me, the individual.
How do I fit myself into a society?
And trauma is living in there, as is cravings and addiction.
And we need this.
It protects us.
But we get in trouble when this is the only portion of our brain that we value.
