The natural state is joy, love, and peace, and thinking takes us away from this. Negative emotions correlate with how much we're thinking. Positive emotions inversely relate to thinking. To understand this, recall stressful memories and anxious thoughts, and then recall joyful memories. Imagine the mind as a speedometer, with thoughts per minute. Excessive thinking puts it into the red zone, leading to stress, burnout, and frustration. Thinking itself, not its content, causes stress, directly correlating with the magnitude of negative emotions.
