you can feel sudden anger or agitation and have no idea it’s because your nervous system just registered an uncomfortable sensation in your body as a threat. your nervous system doesn’t wait for you to notice the discomfort it detects the sensation labels it as threat and fires the response before your conscious mind connects the discomfort in your foot, for example, to the anger that just showed up so the anger feels real but the reason you give it is often invented after: the mind is late to the scene so it does what it always does it explains it picks something someone a sentence a look “this is why I feel like this” but that’s often not the cause that’s the cover story 👇🏼 when I started to understand it a lot changed “this is a body signal pain labeled as threat before I even noticed it” that moment doesn’t remove the wave but it can stop me from turning it into a war 👇🏼 this is one of the strange trades of illness the body can break down signals get distorted but the mind if you train it if you stay close to what is actually happening can rise in precision not in positivity in accuracy and accuracy quietly saves you from a lot of unnecessary suffering
