I'm learning about the difference between thoughts, feelings and emotions. It can be so confusing. Apparently, emotions are stupid (read this actual sentence last night). "they have no intellect. Emotions cannot tell the difference between fact and fantasy, or between past, present, or the future, Our feelings will predictably respond to whatever we put in our minds" Bob George.
This explains a lot of my past behavior to me. Knowing this is such an eye opener. Now, when I feel a rise in anxiety over something, I ask myself if it is a thought that is triggering a false emotional reaction. Complicated but great stuff!
