There is a connection between what we feel, the messages we tell ourselves, and our action responses. The process is lightening quick however, and we often miss identifying our internal messages that drive our reactions. These messages are often negative and untrue. Self-help gurus offer ineffective solutions by focusing on how to change our internal self-talk, when real change requires us to look at the connection to our emotions. Today's episode unpacks this linear process of our feeling, thinking, then reacting.
* Correction: Neuro-researcher, James Gross (2014), discovered that it takes the brain 1/10 of a second to register emotion and 6/10 of a second to register cognition. This 1/2 second between what we feel and what we reason is the often missed link in the self-help process.
