We explore a life-changing equation that reveals how thoughts drive feelings, which drive behaviours, which determine results. Understanding this connection gives insight into why certain strategies for change aren't working and how our brains get trapped in cycles of negative thinking.

• Our brains produce roughly 85,000 thoughts daily, with 90% being repetitive and negative
• Thoughts trigger chemical reactions in the brain that create physical responses in the body (emotions)
• Our bodies cannot distinguish between real and imagined threats
• The brain conserves energy by running familiar thought patterns rather than creating new ones
• Modern stressors trigger the same primitive survival responses designed for physical dangers
• We often remain physiologically trapped in past emotional states while living in the present
• Breaking the cycle starts with awareness of how thoughts drive our results
