The Chemistry Cascade of Thoughts
Manage episode 518800749 series 2993661
We trace how thoughts create measurable chemical cascades that shape emotion, behavior, and the feeling of identity. Then we map a path to change using intentional pauses, mental rehearsal, and evidence of neural rebalancing toward calm, focus, and resilience.
• thought as physical signal chain across neurotransmitters and neuropeptides
• the self-reinforcing loop between thought, emotion and feedback
• habit formation as energy-saving automation in neural circuits
• mental rehearsal engaging similar brain networks as real action
• the pause as the break in the chain reaction
• prefrontal strengthening and amygdala quieting with practice
• building a new emotional baseline through repeated attention
• identity as a memorised chemical pattern open to revision
