Which One Should Prevail: THOUGHTS Or FEELINGS?
Which One Should Prevail: THOUGHTS Or FEELINGS? Before we deep-dive into THOUGHTS and FEELINGS, let's align here. It is HOW we see something OR someone and WHAT we think about it OR them that really influences HOW we feel. It is our THOUGHTS and BELIEFS about an event that significantly influences our emotions and actions. WHAT is quite perplexing here is to understand the co-relationship between THOUGHTS and FEELINGS. WHAT really makes us feel and respond the way we do, is often NOT the situation OR the words and actions of another person BUT how we perceive that situation OR that person's actions. It is HOW we see something OR thoughts and beliefs about an event that significantly influences our EMOTIONS and ACTIONSπ΅π΄π·
It is often difficult to know exactly WHAT we are feeling and sometimes it can also be difficult to put it into words. Now, things will get trickier WHEN we consider those 'AUTOMATIC THOUGHTS'. Just as we are NOT always conscious of the way we walk OR how we drive a car, we are often NOT aware of our THINKING. Some of our THINKING becomes so habitual in the sense that it seems to become AUTOMATIC, and just like driving, WHEN things are AUTOMATIC, we might NOT be conscious of them✅✅✅
