Did You Know This About Emotions? 🤯
There’s a brain scientist named Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor who discovered that when an emotion gets triggered in our body — the actual chemical reaction only lasts 90 seconds. Yep. Just 1 minute and 30 seconds.
After that, if we’re still upset, angry, anxious, or spiralling……it’s no longer the emotion itself.
It’s our mind replaying the story and keeping it alive.
When I learned this I was like: “Wait… so I’m not actually stuck in my feelings — I’m stuck in my thoughts about my feelings?”
And honestly? Those 90 seconds usually pass way faster when I’m not adding extra drama on top.
Imagine how much lighter we’d feel if we stopped feeding every emotion with a whole mental Netflix series 😅
Anyway, I thought this might help you today. Feel it, breathe through it… then let it go. 💛
