1. Your every thought produces a biochemical reaction in the brain. The brain then releases chemical signals that are transmitted to the body, where they act as the messengers of the thought
2. The thoughts that produce the chemicals in the brain allow your body to feel exactly the way you were just thinking.
When the body responds to a thought by having a feeling, this initiates a response in the brain. The brain, which constantly monitors and evaluates the status of the body, notices that the body is feeling a certain way. In response to that bodily feeling, the brain generates thoughts that produce corresponding chemical messengers so, you begin to think the way you are feeling. Thinking creates feeling(s), and then, feeling(s) creates thinking, in a continuous destructive cycle.
This loop eventually creates a particular state in the body that determines the general nature of how we feel and behave. This is called “state of being”.

This may sound a little controversial and provocative, but so many of us (including me in the past) work longer and longer hours, and so we feel we must be “hard workers”. It was quite a wake-up for me a few years ago when I learnt that productive work is when we work Smarter, NOT Longer and Harder. Longer and longer hours of hard work
