Event Related or Not

When you understand that your feelings are connected to what you think about an event and not by the event itself, you can gain a measure of perspective and control. You can change your thoughts and a change in thoughts often can radically alter your feelings and your behaviors—because feelings always follow thoughts. It is immensely empowering to realize that you are not at the mercy of your emotions and / or feelings. You can obtain the information your emotions are trying to convey and make decisions about what it anything needs to be done at the moment, without “emoting.”
