The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

Whereas a pessimist might trip over a wire and be like, oh, I'm so clumsy.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

This always happens to me.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

Different little things like that, you take one situation and you apply it to everything.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

Whereas an optimist might just be like, okay, that happened, but that doesn't mean that it's going to happen again.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

Yeah, so to me, the law of attraction really is that you don't get what you want.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

You get what your brain is wired for.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

You get what you are, right?

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

You get what you are from a nervous system perspective and a programming perspective.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

I mean, just I remember learning about, you know, just the way that neurons work, right?

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

And

The School of Greatness

neurons fire and communicate with each other using electrical impulses.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

I remember I had to take calculus physics actually in college to understand this.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

It was so annoying.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

But when current flows through a wire, an electromagnetic force is created perpendicular to that wire.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

our nervous system is a bunch of wires.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

And so current is flowing through us all the time.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

And absolutely, there is a magnetic field created perpendicular to that flow of energy, right?

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

And so there's that.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

And that energy is felt.

The School of Greatness
The Neuroscience of Identity: Why You Keep Repeating the Same Patterns | Emily McDonald

I think we have that.
