You Are What You Feel

“Your cells are constantly are constantly processing experience and metabolizing it according to your personal views. You don’t just funnel raw data through your eyes and ears and stamp it with a judgment. You physically turn into the interpretation as you internalize it. Someone who is depressed over losing his job projects sadness everywhere in his body – the brain’s output of neurotransmitters become depleted, hormone levels drop, the sleep cycle is interrupted, neuropeptide receptors on the outer surface of skin cells become distorted, platelet cells in the blood become stickier and more prone to clump, and even his tears contain different chemical traces than tears of joy.”
