Thoughts are different than feelings.
Thoughts are what we believe, our judgments of ourselves and others, and our perceptions of our lives and how we view the world.
We can control our thoughts. We have the power to choose our thinking habits. We can become aware of our thoughts and change them so that we like them better.
Feelings are how we respond to our thoughts, to the world, to others. Feelings can't be controlled. Feelings come from our responses to to everything.
Though we can't control feelings, we can be assured that they will pass and won't last forever if we allow ourselves to express them. We can become aware of our feelings and what makes us feel certain ways. But feelings aren't controlled or changeable.
