Your Thoughts Will Heal or Hurt You w/ Marisa Peer EP 1427
The School of Greatness
The Mind's Role in Survival
Our mind's primary job is not to make us happy but to ensure our survival by protecting us from things that have previously caused harm. It helps us avoid situations that have previously hurt us, even if just by reminding us of a bad experience with mushrooms or shellfish. Our mind's innate function is to prevent us from getting hurt, and it acts on red alert whenever we express fear or distress. By changing the narratives we tell ourselves and replacing negative thoughts with positive ones, we can alleviate stress and lead a healthier emotional life.
