Your Unwanted Emotions Are Created By Thoughts, Not By Facts
If your romantic partner isn't cheating, but you think that they are, how do you feel? Hurt. If your romantic partner is cheating, but you think that they love you, how do you feel? Great. If your child isn't injured, but you think that they got hurt, how do you feel? Sad. If your child is injured, but you think they are safe at a friend's house, how do you feel? Fine. If you aren't going to get fired next week, but you think that you'll be fired, how do you feel? Fearful. If you are going to get fired next week, but you think that your job is safe, how do you feel? Great.
When the facts are "good", but you think they are "bad", you suffer. When the facts are "bad", but you think they are "good", you are happy. This demonstrates that the facts don't create your happiness or suffering. It is only your thoughts that create your emotions.


A Powerful 5-Step Process That Can Immediately Bring You More Peace

Do you want to stop living with stress, unworthiness, social anxiety, insecurity, anger, or sadness? It certainly seems as though these emotions are inevitable, and directly created by our circumstances, our situations, and the people in our lives. However, it is possible to discover that all your unwanted emotions are actually created by the thoughts in your mind. More importantly, each of these emotions can vanish in an instant if you just stop believing the thoughts that create them.

When You Don't Believe Words, Those Words Don't Create Emotions
If a random person tells you, "The world is going to end tomorrow", and you believe them, how would you feel? You would likely experience fear. But if you didn't believe them at all, then how would their comment make you feel? You almost certainly wouldn't be emotionally affected. This demonstrates that when you believe someone's words to be true, those words create emotions. But if you don't believe someone's words, those same words don't have the power to create emotions.
The same is true of the words (thoughts) in your mind. If you believe a negative thought about yourself or your life, that thought will create an unwanted emotion. However, if you don't believe that thought, it quite simply won't create the unwanted emotion.

This Book Will Show You How To Disbelieve The Thoughts That Create Your Unwanted Emotions
As soon as you stop believing a thought that is creating one of your unwanted emotions, that emotion will instantly dissolve. As you disbelieve more and more of the thoughts that create your suffering, you will be happier in more and more situations, the more you will be living in the moment, and the more peace, freedom, love, laughter, wholeness, enthusiasm, and gratitude you will experience in your life.

This Book Will Help You To:
  • Experience peace in situations that used to be filled with anxiety and stress 
  • Lose the sense of lack in your life, and live with a sense of a wholeness and completeness
  • Put an end to your feelings of unworthiness and insecurity

What are the facts and what is my interpretation of the facts? Am I absolutely sure that my guess about their thoughts, feelings, or intentions is true? Well, the facts are that he rarely says “thank you” or “I appreciate that”, never brings me flowers anymore, and doesn’t help with cleaning the house. I guess my interpretation is that “these actions mean he doesn’t appreciate me”. It definitely seems like my interpretation is true and that he must not appreciate me. Have I interpreted the

experience the emotions these thoughts created. Let’s look at a few examples of how this could look in a typical day: - In the morning, we may experience anxiety about trying to get our children to school on time with everything they need. If we can recognize that we don’t really know whether “it would be bad if my children were late” or “I need to get my children to school on time”, then we can be at peace as we prepare our children in the morning. We can start our days with enthusiasm and

or respectful, annoying or pleasant, funny or boring, pretty or ugly?” Then we answer this question by making the judgment (decision) that what we witnessed is “disrespectful”, “annoying”, “boring”, or “ugly”. We have no uncertainty about whether our thought is true. We don’t view our thought as a perspective, we unknowingly view it as a fact, as true. Once we make this judgment, we react with the corresponding emotion. What’s important to understand here is that the facts themselves are

wealth, success, fame, respect, or love happy? b) If you never experienced getting the particular outcome that you want, then can you know for sure that you will like it? For example, is it possible that you won’t like the responsibilities of the job you want? Is it possible that your daughter won’t enjoy the college you think would be “best” for her? c) Since you don’t know all of the effects of any outcome, can you know for sure that a specific outcome would be “best” for you or for others?

unless we sacrifice something for them in return. If we do nothing in return for our partner, their feeling of unfairness will grow. Our partner will think, “I have sacrificed for him, I have missed out on things I wanted to do, I gave my time for him, but he hasn’t sacrificed anything for me. This isn’t fair”. This belief that our relationship is unfair creates a lot of resentment in relationships. Manipulation is not an honest or a loving way to deal with the people we love, and it causes them
