How Do You Control Negative Thoughts?
The old narrative meaning a few ten years ago was that if you're feeling depressed just smile, well if that worked, we would have a lot less depression than we see out. When you change your physiology, doesn't it also start to change the way you think about yourself a little bit? The reason I call it a brain body contract early on is that the brain and the body are constantly in dialogue. So subjective thought and deliberate thought is very powerful over states of mind and body. It's hard to control negative thoughts directly by trying to suppress them. Generally they tend to just want to continue to geyser up all the time. But we can introduce a positive thought more often.
