Let’s begin your program by learning a little bit about how your brain works and where your feelings come from.

You can listen to this lesson as a recording, or read it below.

How Do You Process Your Experiences?

Active beliefs are your beliefs about what is happening right now, or what might happen next. An active belief generates feelings. A feeling is a sensation in your body. When your brain puts a feeling in context, the feeling becomes an emotion. An emotion re-ranks your well-being goals, and the goal at the top drives your behavior. Becoming aware of each part of this process is the first skill you will build in this course.
