715 | Emotions Only Last for 90 Seconds

Own Your Choices Own Your Life

In this episode, I wanted to share a concept that you only feel your emotions for 90 seconds.

Harvard brain scientist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor explains “When a person reacts to something in their environment, there's a 90-second chemical process that happens in the body; after that, any remaining emotional response is just the person choosing to stay in that emotional loop.

In this episode, we discuss:

1) The 90-second rule states that the physiological response, the chemical rush behind our emotions, dissipates after about 90 seconds. If we still feel the rush after that, or heightened emotions it is because our subconscious mind had attached old stories to the emotions. Once our subconscious mind attaches a story to the emotion, now it piles on shame, guilt, and judgment and it becomes part of our identity. 2) Your subconscious mind will always resort back to what is familiar and what it knows so that you can feel safe and protected.
