HI,
Can you feel your thoughts? Or are feelings and thoughts entirely distinct mental states? People tend to separate thoughts and feelings into different compartments of mental experience. After all, don't we think with our heads and feel with our hearts? Thinking is cool and rational, emotions hot and blind to reason. But emotions and thinking are more clearly connected than many people recognize.
Feeling your thoughts doesn’t mean that thoughts can be felt in the same way you feel a pin prick on experience a surge of anger or fear. Have a minute to do a thought experiment to see just how closely your thoughts and feelings are related to each other? In the next 30 to 60 seconds, try to make yourself feel really angry while keeping your mind completely blank. After reading this sentence, move away from the screen and just let yourself get angry without thinking any thoughts or picturing any image in your mind. Try it, really.
Were you able to do it? To feel real anger? If so, were you able to hold the anger for more than a passing moment?
Please help.
Thanks!
I didn't find the right solution from the Internet.
