The thing with consciousness (aka the brain) is that it isn’t a tool designed to deal with emotions. It’s an analytic tool to help the body figure out what is happening right now and actively look for issues. It can never be satisfied as it’s purpose is to actively look for threats.
Happiness is not a state we can consciously be in. It is a state that we can simply BE. We feel happiness, we don’t think it. However when the brain is active there is no way you can feel happy because the brain is actively looks like for threats. When we think we are happy it’s because we feel happy and the brain somehow activates, as it tends to do, and realises it feels happiness.
The trick is to shut down the brain and realise we are more than our thoughts. Take in everything that you feel and don’t think too much of it. Happiness is there somewhere.
So there’s truth to this but my brain is just thinking that this does *not* look a brain. More like she has butt cheeks following her around. Now that would make me stressed!
Depression: *Do nothing all the time*
Anxiety: *Do everything all the time*
Still trying to understand how it works exactly.
Are you me?
Where’s the lie?

Alright brain, you don’t like me, and I don’t like you.
