-- Do Thoughts Create Feelings? --

If you want to change your life, you’ve got to start with your thoughts… or so says every personal development meme ever.

When it comes to mind and emotion, the common assumption is that thoughts create feelings, which result in behavior.

But is that really true?

Do thoughts really create emotions that drive us to make decisions, either good or bad?

Well actually...no. Not exactly.

Because emotions and feelings are produced by your nervous system. And it turns out, you’ve got neurons all over your body.

What that means is that sensory data -- i.e. stuff you see, hear, touch, taste, and smell -- influences your emotions.

A lot of this sensory data bypasses the rational, thinking part of your brain entirely and goes directly to your emotional centers.

For every one neural pathway running from your rational brain to your emotional centers, there are two going the other way. What that means is that your conscious thinking brain is more narrating your experience than directing it -- finding reasons for why you feel and behave the way that you do.

This is such an important topic to discuss because there’s a lot of misinformation abounding about changing your thoughts to change your life.

Is it important to focus on positivity in your life? Of course.

However, if the sensory experience your body is having is one of threat and danger as a result of stored, unprocessed stress and trauma, then you’re essentially banging your head against the proverbial brick wall.

This is where people usually start to feel like something is wrong with THEM.

But there isn’t. I promise.

Your nervous system is working perfectly. We just need to intervene at a different level.
