grab: to take or hold somebody/something with your hand suddenly or roughly
zesty: that tastes or smells sharp and fresh
compel: to force somebody to do something; to make something necessary
perpetuate: to make something such as a bad situation, a belief, etc. continue for a long time
gasp: to take a quick deep breath with your mouth open, especially because you are surprised or in pain
Our words shape the way we think, and the way we think shapes how we feel; how we feel determines what we do, and what we do determines our belief.
這句話說明一個循環因果:我們的語言(說的話)會影響思維方式,而思維方式又會影響情緒;情緒決定行為,行為反過來形塑信念。換言之,語言 → 思考 → 感受 → 行為 → 信念,任何一環的改變都會影響整個自我認知與世界觀。

Mind wandering is the natural drifting of your attention away from an external task and toward your internal thoughts and daydreams.
The Default Mode Network (DMN) is a large-scale brain system most active when you’re not focused on external tasks—such as during daydreaming, self-reflection, or imagining the future. It plays a central role in constructing your sense of self, but disruptions in its activity are linked to conditions like Alzheimer’s, depression, and autism.
Metacognition is the ability to think about your own thinking—monitoring, evaluating, and regulating how you learn, remember, and solve problems. It is central to effective learning, decision-making, and self-awareness.
Self-referential thinking is a cognitive process where you relate neutral external events, information, or stimuli directly to yourself.
underscore: to emphasize or show that something is important or true
sift: to examine something very carefully in order to decide what is important or useful or to find something important
