Counterpoint
Our present domination global culture is biased to place a higher value on brain vs. body function— see eg someone “declared ‘brain-dead’”… … or in a coma.

gross over generalization … a bit like the op meme :-)
It makes us an ECOSYSTEM!
We’re not really “human” we”re more like… … a planet.

(imho)
lol i know
thank you for the kind reply
aaannnd art is in the eye of the beholder so idk not necessarily for the OP needing to read it

(start drinking water the moment u wake up keep it in the bathroom next to toilet or en route
(where it wont spill if you’re half-asleep and bump it )
What a terribly reductionist POV.
A few antidotes:
study and learn Somatic Experiencing. (Where in your body do you feel a given emotion ? Where is tension felt? where is relaxation felt? where is sadness felt? )
study some real yoga (not stretching
but actual yoga ie meditation breath-work soma practices )

Nothing processed!

Not that you actually asked for advice.
Maybe you — or maybe others — would welcome these resources ( maybe)
“Five Stages of Grief”
“The Power of Vulnerability”
NVC lexicon list of universal feelings and needs
and. Q: How might one define ‘emotions’ ? A: One definition I like is: “Emotions are: a physical, felt sensation in the body. ”
So we need to FEEL them (not analyze, like I did), to heal.
(and there’s supporting research done in this area too)
