Episode 19: How Can We Change a Feeling?

When we don't understand how the mind really works, we tend to look outside of ourselves to try to change our feelings. Feel unsettled in the evening? Drink a glass of wine to calm down. Unhappy in your job? Get a new one. Don't like the way your kids are behaving? Make them change. Unhappy that you're not out working at the moment? Force yourself to get a job. But did you know it's impossible to change a feeling by changing your circumstances? Did you know it's way simpler than you think? Jill Whalen and I discuss this and much more in today's podcast episode.
