AWhile this talk was very well presented, it all seemed quite obvious to me that our mood affects what we see. So does our lived experience. That lawyer who became a solider had countless experiences hearing about guerilla fighters, so it makes perfect sense thars what he saw in the dark woods. As a Narrative Therapy Practitioner, I work woth clients every week to explore how their lived experiences influence what they see in themselves, others and the world around them. It seems to me, much of this is common sense. Of course our lived experiences affect our mood. And if we pause, we can do as Lisa wisely suggests (and something I do Every time I'm cut off in traffic or hear something that activates a core belief, pause and go into curiosity. Actually. I go into compassion & seeking understanding. ♡

I think this is one of the most important pieces of content I've come across in the last few years. I've been coming against the challenges of managing negative affectivity and its delusions at every level of work for the environment, human rights and democracy, as well as the individual lives of everyone I love. I was across some of the psychological research on it, but this makes the point powerfully that what some call "emotional reasoning" is more than a cognitive distortion, it's a fact of the human condition that we can harness for good. It's a portal to a greater level of state mastery. Thank you for this!

I loved this video! Even though scientists are not certain why this is so, and I feel certain that it is, Lisa is sharing it with us and offering us an opportunity to be more mindful.
