Dr. Candace Pert, author of Molecules of Emotion,
explains:
"For a long time, neuroscientists agreed that emotions are
controlled by certain parts of the brain -- the amygdala,
hippocampus, and hypothalamus. This is a big, "neurocentric"
assumption that I now think is either wrong or incomplete."
According to Dr. Pert, emotions are happening
throughout your entire body all of the time. On a
cellular level you are having an emotional experience
right now, whether you're aware of it or not!
According to evolutionary biologist Donald
Symmons:
“We have powerful feelings precisely because
the goals our emotions are propelling us toward
are difficult to achieve. The more difficult the
objective, the more powerful the feeling"
If all your actions are an attempt to either move
away from a painful emotion or move
toward a desirable one, then whether you’re
conscious of it or not, the drive to avoid a feeling
that you don’t like or to experience a
feeling that you like is what is motivating you
in virtually every situation in your life!

words, the more passionate you are about
something, the faster you will take positive
action to transform your behavior and your life.
