According to Wikipedia.org, a feeling is used to describe the physical sensation of touch either through experience or perception. AND behaviour refers to the actions or reactions of an object or organism, usually in relation to the environment. Behaviour can be conscious or unconscious, voluntary or involuntary.
James D. Laird wrote in his book, Feelings, "If feelings follow behaviour, they cannot be the causes of behaviour, since causes must precede their effects."
Often behaviour can change one's feelings. Weird, but true. For example, if you force yourself to be happy, you will eventually become happy. And if you force yourself to think before you react to certain emotions, you will change your behaviour before doing things.
Behaviour usually follows feelings, but, in some instances, one's behaviour can alter one's feelings. For example, you go shopping because you are sad and need some cheering up. After you find the perfect pair of shoes and purchase them your feelings go from being sad to a feeling of happiness.
Feelings work together with behaviour. People are more concerned about their feelings than their actions. We all just need to take a step back and let our behaviour lead the way for a change.
The brain is a weird and powerful thing, it is said that humans use about 7% of their brains. Imagine what we could do if we could use the other 93%!
ReplyDeleteIf we force ourselves to be happy - we will be happy. So true - It is what we make of it.
