Feelings Follow Behaviour


Thoughts - Action/behaviour
 It is said that who we surround ourselves with is what we become; the same could be said for the way we feel about things or what we think. I personally think thoughts create certain feelings which in turn create certain actions.

If we become suspicious of certain things we start creating our own realities in our minds and our feelings and actions towards that thing/person is seen in our behaviour. Have you ever been in a situation where you have mulled over the worst case scenario about something or someone and hey do something that really amazes you? Maybe it’s even someone you know that you are avoiding because of how you think they will react and suddenly they call you up or you see them and the reaction is completely different.
It is in our human nature to have an opinion about everything really – we don’t always agree with those around us but that’s what makes our lives so fun and interesting and that how we grow and develop ourselves.

How do feelings and behaviour work together? Firstly we need to understand what the connection between the two is – feelings, thoughts and behaviour are a process almost always followed in that order. Your feelings are directly associated with your thoughts.  If you want to control your feelings you must first control your thought life.

 Your feelings are directly associated with your behaviour. If you want to control your feelings you must also change your behaviour. When your behaviour is sinful your conscience will accuse you. These accusations enter your mind through your thoughts and then affect your feelings and emotions

In order to control your thoughts and feelings you must make some choices, those choices can only be made and implemented by you also choose to examine your behaviour and thoughts on a continuous basis in order to check in with yourself and measure your growth in a certain area that you have worked on.

At the end of the day, this is a very personal decision and process and a wonderful way to grow and get to know yourself.
