(Upsetting emotions also may be telling you that you’ve picked up some toxic thinking along the way, and that this will not take you where your heart yearns to go. More on this in the next section.)
Soft-wired information.
This information tells your subconscious how you personally interpret your world at any given time – in relation to fulfilling your inner strivings to both survive and thrive. Soft-wired information is both verbal and nonverbal.
It consists of language-based thoughts, words, belief systems, etc., that are inseparable from the nonverbal emotions and feeling sensations they spark.
When you experience certain emotions and physical sensations at any given time, it means your subconscious mind (body) is letting you know how you currently interpret (think about), and thus, feelabout one or all of the following:
The data your five senses are picking up from life around you: visual (sight), auditory (hearing), tactile (touch), olfactory (smell) and gustatory (taste).
The thoughts you are thinking in the moment, your “self-talk” – which may be focused on past, present or current experience, or a combination of these.
The current beliefs or belief systems your subconscious mind holds up as perception filters to interpret any incoming data, as well as what is going on inside you, i.e., thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, wants, inborn strivings, etc.

this an excellent article for me. i have so many toxic beliefs. it is often a struggle tho i work and practice change. it can be very painful. sometimes i don't even know how to transition to an improved way of my belief system or understanding i am a worthwhile person. i've used therapy to learn how to help myself. i am not willing to stay in an unhealthy existance. i know change for me is good so i continue this journey tho i am forever unpeeling the onion and finding more that needs fixing. i too am eager to read more.
sorry for the long post. i underlined parts that jumped out at me. knowing intellectually how this all works is helpful. it's like behavior modification of the mind.
