Subconscious thoughts affecting our bodies

Brain imageI’m sit­ting in my liv­ing room prepar­ing for a talk with some ladies tomor­row. The talk is on mas­sage around can­cer and I will be with the ladies of the RUH Breast of Friends Sup­port Group. I’m really look­ing for­ward to it!

As I sit and pre­pare, I noticed in increase of move­ment flow­ing through in my body. I’m famil­iar with this feel­ing. It’s the ner­vous feel­ing feel it before I do pub­lic speak­ing. So, it’s prob­a­bly a release of adren­a­line or cortisol. Perhaps it was also nerves of excitement.

BUT WHY NOW?

I was just writ­ing my notes for the talk.

I wasn’t think­ing about talk­ing. Nor was I think­ing that I was excited. I was sim­ply writ­ing. So why the release of hor­mones in my body?

It’s widely accepted that each thought pro­duces a chem­i­cal reac­tion in the body so I can under­stand think­ing about the talk would bring on ner­vous feel­ings and the release of chem­i­cals. But I wasn’t think­ing about it.

So, was my sub­con­scious think­ing about it? Per­haps the act of work­ing on my notes, which relates to speak­ing in font of peo­ple, stim­u­lated past mem­o­ries of nerves. Did these past expe­ri­ences  and feel­ings sub­con­sciously arise and result in this ner­vous feel­ing in my body.

If our thoughts have a reac­tion on your body, it seems our sub­con­scious thoughts can too.

What do you think, or feel :-) about that?
