One problem with this is that it's very hard to control your feelings. You're either grateful or not, I don't think it's a choice, and this oscillates back and forth. |
Hi John,
Your feelings are very difficult to control. However, you can direct your thoughts, and over time, this affects your feelings. There is a link between habitual thoughts and emotions. This is talked about a lot in the works of cognitive therapy.
