"Cognitive Reappraisal" is the term for the technique in which you relabel the feelings your body is sending you towards _similar_ feelings that are more productive for your situation. The common example of this is re-labeling the elevated pulse and sweaty palms you have as signs of **excitement** rather than signs of **nervousness**. Note - the two feelings have to be similar enough. You can't trick your mind while you're exhausted by saying "Gee whizz I'm so full of energy". Doing this doesn't work. You _miiight_ be able to say "alright I am satisfied". **** # More ## Source - A TED talk from a long time ago - [[The Extended Mind]] ## Related - [[Interoception]]
