I totally found myself in this article and I'm pretty sure I need to read the rest of the series as well... Unfortunately stressful people can't really control these feelings so yes, they end up harming themselves... Lately, I figured out that meditation actually works so I'm trying that! :D
that is a big mistake that takes some time getting over, the wrong belief that we cannot control our thoughts, and i think it's something that gets easier with practice :)
Indeed! That's what I learned since I started meditating - the brain/mind just like the body needs to be trained so yes, the more we practice the more we can channel it to control our thoughts! Still working on it though ;)
