I struggle with….

….being controlled by feelings. Our mind seems like it’s split into two parts…the part that thinks clearly and logically and the other part that reacts to emotions. These two parts then go through a funnel – down to your will….and that’s where I get into trouble. Acting on emotion instead of logic. So I’m learning to slow down my response….do I have all the facts? Where is this emotion or thought coming from? I’m trying to move fast when I need to ask for forgiveness or move away from temptation…and trying to move more slowly when I’m hurt or angry or when making a major decision. I have a long way to go but I think (and feel!) like I’m getting better at it. Have a great day!
