Why Your Body Is Often More Grounded to Reality Than Your Mind
The human mind is a brilliant but unreliable narrator. It imagines, analyzes, plans, and replays. It builds stories, filters reality, and often clings to concepts that are no longer useful.

People often say, “The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.” On the surface, this idea seems logical. Patterns tend to repeat. Habits can become entrenched.
