Feelings are just passing thoughts. You can’t prevent thoughts from coming into your head. When you see your feelings as friendly and useful, you can use them as a guiding system that opens your mind to new thinking. So you don’t have to do anything when you don’t feel good. Left to their own devices, feelings change naturally anyway.

- Even a child could be taught this concept: that when we’re sad, for example, it’s hard to remember that the world itself hasn’t become a sad place, even though that’s exactly what it feels like. We’re just being visited by some feelings that make it seem that way.
