It's All About the Story

So I'm feeling the need to post something profound, but a long day of phone-calling, going to the DMV, trying to go to the Social Security office, and other miscellaneous tasks have left me feeling a bit... blank. Not bummed, or tired, but not very inspired either. A bit zombie-ish. That's what a lot of the past week has been like, an I can't even

a well-timed word

This seems to be a well-timed word for me. Sometimes moods can be a self-fulfilling prohesy. But yes, tomorrow is another day and another story to write. Maybe tomorrow will be magical.

I agree that our thoughts can impact our behavior just as our behavior impacts our thoughts. I read this action wheel that said our thoughts influence our behavior, our behaviour impacts our surroundings and how they respond to us, and how our surroundings respond to us impacts our emotional responses. And our emotional responses impact our thoughts...and so on and so forth. It's all a cycle.

And we do have a bit of control in it. I may not believe that we control our emotional responses very much, but I do believe we control our actions after the fact that we experience the emotions. Like, you might not be able to control feeling blank, but you can control whether or not you just let yourself be blank or you type it out - as you did.

yay Joneen!

Exactly! Very well-put. :)
