Concentrating on the brain sensations associated with certain emotions, as I am suggesting here, will soon allow us to recognize the emotionally reactive patterns that are unique to us in given situations. Then, if we become good at this, we can “head off” an upcoming emotion if it is one that we do not wish to experience!
If we can teach ourselves to “feel our brain” and watch the rest of our body for the signs that our brain is feeling a certain way, we will be able to predict in advance that a certain emotion is coming on. If what is emerging is an unwanted emotion, you can literally tell your brain to stop doing that.
Watching Your Body’s Reactions
We are being rained upon, drenched in data, even,’ day. Information from thousands of sources competes to get noticed by your consciousness, like children raising their hands in a classroom to get the teacher’s attention.
The information that is chosen goes through a certain process before becoming reality. For many people, this process is automatic. Your brain “decides” what to look at. what to take in, and you have no conscious awareness of this process taking place.
It only you could consciously monitor this process, you would be able to gam greater control over your life. In fact,you can.
