Anna is planning to get her PhD in health psychology, and so she is an expert who would like us all to know about the power of the mind-body connection:
She says, "So many of you guys are locked in prison cells of fear, and you don't have to be! We are not designed - we are not created - to be in control of our lives. We can't control outcomes. We can just control our beliefs and our behaviors. That is all we have control over, and often we find that when we focus on that, the outcomes change too."
Fucking hell, this kid.
She would like us to know that our thoughts create neural highways in our brain, by which signals travel to our bodies. She has been reading "tons and tons of studies, all typed out" about how people have actually created their own food allergies because they read some kind of food was bad and suddenly started getting sick whenever they ate it.
She says, "Your brain is powerful because it sits on top of your head and is connected to your body!" Anna could talk about this for hours, but she won't. Happy Saturday!
While the physical manifestations of anxiety may be mistaken for a dietary intolerance by someone who is afraid of food, anxiety is itself a symptom of allergic reactions, and actual allergies are not actually caused by thinking bad thoughts in your powerful brain.
And from another, related rant, one is left with the strong impression that Anna is grumpy because people say her food looks bad, but she is going to pretend they are impugning her food's virtue in a way that has actually caused her physical suffering, rather than simply pointing out that her meals appear to be very gross:
"Thanks for joining me lol"
