I’m very mixed. Either my brain is rampaging a dramatized ‘220wpm’ monologue at me, of which I’m at the whims of, or I’m engaged in a nice ‘flow state’ where my body becomes reactive based on emotional feeling rather than any conscious thought.

During wonderful moments of introspection, I’ll attempt to talk to and identify these feelings. It helps repurpose them towards my goals, as they’re typically influenced by what has worked and hasn’t in the past just as @streetfestival@lemmy.ca mentioned. We don’t always see eye to eye though.

CBT has been great at redirecting these functions towards my goals rather than what my body ‘feels’ works. Logic and Emotions, COMBINE!

Sometimes my emotions will conjure a ‘feeling’ of like, an overlayed reality probably similar to what @BCsven@lemmy.ca mentioned experiencing for their engineering. I still see everything normally that my eyes are reporting, but then there’s another reality that I feel is occurring simultaneously. This is great for melding with tools like a bread knife (the bread must be evenly cut…) or riding a motorcycle. The latter I can identify things like my center of gravity and project/manipulate it. After 3 crashes, I was able to drift my bike in the rain without eating shit. It is always ‘verbally silent’ per-say during these moments.

I’ve intentionally nurtured it ever since I got a hold of VR and became more conscious of it occurring, so tbh I’m not sure if it’s always been this way or if it’s even what you’re looking for.

RN my subconscious feels like it wants me to mention that it’s inefficient to vocalize thoughts in the mind. No ‘words’ appeared for that, it’s a feeling whether it’s right or wrong; I put my fingers down and this is the output. There’s also sometimes conflicting feelings so it’s difficult to ‘flow’ and a lot of post-editing occurs, although I’ve attempted to keep this paragraph more ‘rough’ per say.

idk if this is what you’re looking for, but I hope it helps!
