The Science of Thought and the Power of Narratives

I was inspired to record this episode after reading a post recently that said, “your thoughts drive how you feel”. It’s a sentiment I have heard before. If you have negative thoughts, you’ll feel negative, and if you have positive thoughts, you’ll feel positive. The problem with that sentiment is, it has the causal relationship backwards and confuses thoughts with thinking.
Understanding the relationship between thoughts, thinking, and your mental health can make all the difference.
This episode will help you understand:
- where thoughts come from
- the difference between thoughts and thinking and why that matters
- the power of personal narratives
