the human brain: one powerful machine

I have come to the realization (or rather formed my own opinion) that my mood is affected in large by, but not limited to, 3 factors.

1: Environmental Stimuli: external circumstance often triggers an intrinsic response with me. which isn't hard to do, since I am overemotional like a girl (no offense ladies, I do love you) haha

2: Internal Stimuli: self affirmation or deconstruction
I have noticed that the human has the ability to alter the mixture of chemicals in my own body simply by the manner in which I either build myself up or tear myself down internally.

3. Internal Stimuli: Composition of Body's Chemicals: largely affected by number 2, my nutirition, and exercise schedule

in short, I put myself in a good mood last night by eating a certain way, running, and simply willing it into being. pretty cool huh?
