so the first thing to understand is there's a difference between not feeling emotion and not having emotion one it's not that you don't have it it's that you're blind to it right so we have this part of our brain called the amydala and that is part of this broader part of our brain called the limbic system this is our emotional Circuit of the brain and I hate to break it to y'all but these circuits are active 24 hours a day 7 days a week right it's not like there's some part of your body that just
has no blood flow or activity your kidneys are active 24 hours a day your stomach is active 24 hours a day maybe a little bit more active maybe a little bit less active there's still cellular respiration even while I'm sleeping and I'm not moving my hand there is cellular respiration in cellular activity going on in my hand the same is true of your emotional circuitry it's active 24 hours a day there are times where there's more blood flow and less blood flow but it's always active
