Feelings are Real
But they aren’t facts.
1. Feelings affect thinking. 2. The best thinking occurs when feelings are under control. 3. Grieving is a time to forestall important decisions. Why? See #1 above. 4. It takes more time than we expect to achieve mental clarity following deep trauma and we don’t control the time. 5. Daily quiet times set the brain’s activities for the day. They allow feelings like fear and worry to be respectfully cared for through reading something helpful, praying (talking to God and giving him your junk) and counting blessings. 6. The best decisions come from a rested grateful brain free of addictions and resentments of one’s self and others. 7. Progress not perfection.
