So, each thought has an impact on how we behave.
Norman says, “Each time you have a thought, it triggers an electrochemical reaction in your body, whether you’re aware of it or not.
“That’s right, each thought sets off a biological process—about 400 billion at once. Because of that thought, chemicals surge through the body, producing electromagnetic waves. Those set off emotions, which affect how we behave.
“We listen to our emotions and act upon them. For instance, when we’re fearful or worried, we may act by withdrawing, or attacking, or blowing a situation out of proportion.[1] Whenever you have a thought, and that electrical transmission goes across your brain in a fraction of a second, you become aware of what you’re thinking.”
He goes on, “Ever wonder when you’re feeling good, why you’re feeling so good? Why you’re feeling positive or happy? There’s a simple reason for this. It’s due to those chemical reactions set off in your brain as a result of your thoughts. Bad feelings and attitudes arise from this process too.
“That’s because some of the chemicals that are triggered by our thoughts are ‘feel-good’ chemicals; others are ‘downers.’”
God knew what He was doing when He created each one of us, didn’t He?
