Thoughts in action
Unravelling the Dynamics of Thoughts in Action
- Thoughts are the mental processes that allow us to perceive, interpret, and understand the world around us. They are the building blocks of our consciousness and play a crucial role in shaping our emotions, behaviours, and experiences.
- Research has shown that thoughts can be triggered by a variety of factors, including external stimuli, internal cues, and past experiences1. External stimuli, such as sights, sounds, and smells, can trigger thoughts by activating specific areas of the brain. Internal cues, such as hunger, thirst, and fatigue, can also trigger thoughts by signalling the need for action. Past experiences can trigger thoughts by creating associations between certain stimuli and specific memories.
