To learn more or to join, email me at [email protected] this episode, we talk about the three pillars that shape our daily lives: thoughts, emotions, and actions. Everything we do starts with a thought, which creates a feeling, and that feeling then leads to an action. When we understand this simple pattern, we begin to see that our actions and reactions are not random, but the result of what is happening in our minds.We look at how this works in everyday situations. A thought can create excitement, which leads to motivation and action, but a negative thought can just as easily create a heavy emotion that makes you avoid something you planned to do. For example, the thought “I’m too tired” can create the feeling of exhaustion, which leads to the action of not doing what needs to be done.This episode is a reminder that if we want to change our actions or understand our emotions, we have to go back to the first pillar, our thoughts. When you become aware of what you are thinking, you gain the ability to guide your emotions and choose your actions more intentionally. These three pillars are always working together, and learning to notice them can change the way you experience your whole day.
