Which Comes First?
If you want to change the way you feel or change the way you think, remember these simple "equations"/ progressions:
Situation A
Feelings --> Thoughts --> Behavior
Situation B
Thoughts --> Feelings --> Behavior
Situation C
Behavioral Changes --> Thoughts / Feelings
You want Situation C.
If you finds yourself behaving in the same (undesired) ways in response to certain thoughts and/or feelings, you might be tempted to want to change thoughts and/or feelings.
The more we fight against our thoughts and feelings, the more they persist.
In order to think or feel differently, we must behave differently.
