Feelings – Part 7

I obviously think that our feelings are important.  This is the 7th blogpost that I am devoting to discussing feelings.  Our feelings are our inner compass, telling us about our inner experience of events and people in our lives.

But feelings are not a guide to action.  It is always up to us to be aware of what we are feeling and then to decide what we want to do.  How you behave might depend on many things, including:  your goals in a particular situation, how you feel about the people involved and how important your relationship is, how healthy, tired or hungry you are or your perspective.

Ask yourself who/what is in charge of your behavior – you or your feelings, you or how other people behave, you or your values and goals.
