Memories are created from highly emotional experiences where the brain focuses on the cause, forming long-term memories. Emotional reactions can lead to refractory periods, moods, temperaments, and personality traits if prolonged. Most people live in survival mode, anticipating worst-case scenarios based on past experiences. Continuously choosing the same emotional reactions hardwires the brain, leading to predictable behaviors and emotions. By visualizing and rehearsing positive thoughts and behaviors, the brain can be rewired to create a more positive future, shifting from a record of the past to a map of the future.
