A study is mentioned in the book - The conclusion is that in exactly the same environment, those with a positive mindset tend to create positive situations, while those with a negative mindset tend to create negative situations

Stress hormones hijack our analytical ability. Instead we OVER analyze under stress. We analyze life within the emotion we’re currently experiencing keeping us locked in past emotions; stuck in a box. Impending emergency isn’t a time to entertain new possibilities or ideas or to trust. Analytical mind works best when calm to choose options and evaluate and discern.

“In reality, genes contribute to our characteristics but do not determine them. The tools of our consciousness- including our beliefs, prayers, thoughts, intentions, and faith - often correlate much more strongly with our health, longevity, and happiness than our genes do.”

Thoughts are the language of the brain.
Feelings are the language of the body.
How you think and feel create a state of being.
A state of being is when your kind and body are working together. So your present state of being is your genuine mind-body connection.

“If the placebo effect is a function of how a thought can change physiology - we could call it mind over matter - then perhaps we should examine our thoughts and how they interact with our brains and our bodies.”
