Story Follows State: Why Your Thoughts Aren't Random
About this episode
The episode discusses how one's emotional state influences their thoughts and narratives.
Ever notice your thoughts get meaner when you feel bad, and softer when you feel good? That's not a coincidence, and it's not a flaw in you. "Story follows state" means the story in your head comes out of the state your body is in, not the other way around. Once you catch it happening in real time, a dark story starts to lose its grip. 👉 New here?
