a lesson learned
men are disturbed not of things but by the view in which they take of them.
It is thought by some that
A=C
A(Activating events) = C(emotional and behavioral consequences)
Ok so lets imagine for a second that you went out with someone , exchanged numbers , you called and they have yet to return your phone call. because of this your feel hurt and rejected.
A(failure to return the phone call) = C(feelings of hurt and rejection)
A( )= C ( )
We can accept this that A=C but we are ignorring our ABC's > B comes between A and C, B refering to out belief system.
B is the natural cause to our behavioral response.
With this know i must change some of the ways in which i think. to not initially with out much cause to alwatys think the worst in ANy situation.
OUR THOUGHTS CREATE OUR EMOTIONS.
