Our feelings are a result of what we think. You cannot have a feeling without a thought. Not physiological feelings, like hunger or pain, but psychological feelings. Your feelings or emotions result from what you are thinking. Yes this process can be so fast that it seems to be automatic or even that feelings occur before the thought.
Think about it this way, can you be afraid if you do not know you are in danger? Can you be sad about something before you know it happened? Can you be angry before you are aware of what someone did? Point is you cannot have an emotion unless you have a thought about something...
Examples:
Someone pointing a gun at you but you do not know he is there...you cannot feel afraid until you know he is pointing a gun at you.
Someone is killed in a car accident..you can only feel sad after you are told about the accident. You are not sad when it happens.
Someone robs your home or breaks into your car, you find out and then you get upset not while they are violating you.
So with that said...if you have a thought and then a feeling....if we can manage what we think then we can manage our feelings.
So if you think in unhealthy or negative ways ...guess what???
I bet you figured this out...you will have negative and unhealthy feelings!
