Your body is addicted to the chemicals your emotions produce. Stress. Urgency. Anticipation. The body craves the familiar feeling — so it generates the thought that produces it.

The enteric nervous system has 500 million neurons. 90% of signals run gut → brain, not the other way. Your gut is usually ahead of your thinking.
