Feelings follow behaviour.

We don’t control what we think or how we feel, but we do know what brings happiness to us and what makes us sad therefore in the actions we take, our aim should be to ensure that we feel content with what we do. It doesn’t always work out that way though. We first act upon something, then we realise that we are not satisfied with what we have just done that is the feeling, so we first act on something which is our behaviour then we realise that we are either satisfied or not satisfied with what we have done, that is the way we feel about our behaviour.

Take for example when you have made an agreement with yourself that you would go on a diet and go to the gym regularly, you seem to keep up with the programme you have set up for yourself for a few weeks, then down the line something happens. You indulge in a slice of chocolate mouse cake, and you feel so guilty. You will feel so disappointed with yourself for doing that, but you can always act differently and prevent that from happening again.

We should try to take note of how we feel when we act on something or how we behave, and we should start to change those behaviours that make us feel regretful in the end because feelings do follow behaviour.
