Think, feel, act. It’s what we do as humans. Once you really understand this cycle, you can use this tool, think-feel-act, to not only understand why you do what you do, but to get in touch with the thoughts and feelings that lead you to take action for your own life. If you want: More…

As we close up this series on the think-feel-act cycle, I’m addressing the last aspect today; action. If you’ve been listening to the last couple of episodes, you’ll know that the greatest act of self-care available to you is to learn how to manage your mind.

It is vital, grounding, and empowering for us to feel our feelings in our bodies. A feeling is an emotional state, a reaction.
