Every internal or external event in your life that happens is interpreted through your brain. If in fact we have a positive feeling about a life event, that’s a Non-Problem Status. And so we really only need to worry about life dramas when they create a negative emotion. Why? This article, the first of seven, will help you understand why.

Right now – today, I’m going to share with you the importance of using your emotional brain to realize how your body reacts to events.

Randy Pausch, a 47 year old college professor, who died recently of pancreatic cancer, said, “Experience is what you get when you don’t get what you want”. What is your experience of events in your life?

Dr Mike Gosling says, “Life is a series of events. Every event is an opportunity for change. It’s from the most painful events that you change the most.” Do you agree with Dr Mike?

Every event in your life that happens, is interpreted through your brain. External events are received into your brain through our five senses and we are also constantly busily examining our internal environment- what’s going on inside of our brain and body – to assess and to work out what’s going on in our life.

And, we really need only worry about life dramas when they create a negative emotional charge and when we have a negative experience. Why?

And so we really only need to worry about life dramas when they create a negative emotion and when we have a negative experience. Why?

Because every single negative experience that we have will result in us accumulating stress, because every emotion, every negative emotion that you have, is actually an Adrenalin response.

To go further, if I were to draw for you a cartoon sketch of a cross-section of our brain, the two major parts of the brain that are useful to know about is that section that resides just above the brain stem. It’s called the Limbic System and the Cortex, the thinking part of the brain.

The Limbic System accomplishes all the feeling in the brain. This is a primitive part of the brain – and animals have a Limbic system – and it is responsible for our preservation instinct.

The Limbic System does all the feeling in the brain. This is a primitive part of the brain – animals have a Limbic system also – and it is responsible for our preservation instinct.

The Limbic System primarily assesses, using all the senses that come into the body, through sight, sound, touch, taste, smell.

If you’re tasting something, the experience is primarily assessed by the Limbic System for danger to determine whether or not there is anything about what you are sensing that is going to be a threat to this organism that it’s looking after.

That’s all for today. In my next article I’ll share with you the story of the zebra; how it uses its brain to deal with danger or threat. Are we like the zebra? Its all part of what I call The Science of Emotional Wealth. So be sure to keep an eye out for my articles.
