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.
