In this episode, we discuss how your thinking habits impact your own neurology. We examine the curious fact that negative emotions can trigger the reward system of the brain, most notably the release of chemicals such as dopamine. This reward, coupled with the negative emotional state, can create feedback loops that keep you ensnared within the realm of negative thinking processes. We also discuss how it is entirely possible to break this chain of patterned, repetitive, thinking and engage in positive thinking through a focused effort that begins with how we view ourself and how we view the world around us.
