can you choose a feeling ? by projection of feeling on the end result

working with an interesting concept,, can I choose a feeling. Everything comes with a feeling attached, can you choose the feeling by CHOOSING a good feeling before the task/situation starts by projection of feeling on the end result ? It is the opposite of worrying or using the worry tool in another constructive way.

On a simple example, take doing the dishes,, I hate doing the dishes,, but if I project a feeling of after I have done the dishings,, Phew finished that is good Smile feeling, doing the dishes is an easier task.

  • Sounds a bit like CBT...... Thoughts, feelings, actions. If you change one you effect the other. I personaly find it really hard to 'choose' or 'change' my feeling. The feeling is normaly associated with situation. If I change the situation then I change my feeling and therfore my thoughts change. I use my thoughts to think how to change a situation and therfore my feelings. Some sitiations though are in some ways beyond my control and that is really hard.
