Higher Brain Rules the Lower Brain with Effort!

There’s no problem with having a weak thought, it’s certainly the behavior that may soon follow that weak thought that matters most.

Primary emotions and impulses originate in our lower “automatic brain” called the cerebellum, and frequently, if not most of the time, without our personal volition.

The cerebrum (the higher brain) is where we decide to give merit and eventual action to these emotions and impulses or to redirect them in a more positive and constructive pattern of thought or simply ignore them.

We can’t always control the initial emotion (or impulse) but we certainly have the capacity to decide what to do with it.
