Yes, I one hundred percent believe that changing your thoughts can impact how you act and feel. Negative or positive thought play a huge role in how we feel from day to day. If our thoughts are negative, then we are going to feel miserable. If our thoughts are positive though, you would be amazed at how much happier you feel.

changing thoughts changes behavior, but it doesn't change everything. it's a main factor, but not the only factor.

But behavior and personality are really broad spectrums, and so many other things come to play. Biological changes for example; for women, during their period they may notice certain behavioral changes that they sometimes have no control over. There is a also environmental factors and so on. I really believe that everything is interrelated. While everyone should strive to steer their thoughts in positive directions, sometimes it is beyond their control.

Our thoughts are the major cause of our actions, so changing the way we think might help us control the way we react to anxiety and stress.

I think every outward expression (behaviorally or emotionally) is a reflection of our thought. Changing out thought would imposed a great deal of difference in our behaviors.

Changing thought might not change a person's behavior but will only generate relief. If a person feels anxiety, stress or fear, changing of thought diverts one's attention away from the situation.

Because actions are derived from thoughts, cognition influences behavior.

Yeah I totally agree. Every action originates from the thought. If you are able to take charge of your thought you could manage your behaviour. It was my most interesting chapter .

Despite the fact that anxiety disorders and fear are related, neither emotion is a disorder of anxiety. The worry about how things will turn out in situations leads to anxiety disorders. Fear is a typical emotion, but it is not an anxiety disorder.

I personally think that this is key to any measure of growth in life. The author speaks about meditation, and one of the goals in to have better control over your behavior. The book talks about exercise, also as a way to feel better about your self, what influences bahavior. It seems everything touches it

If you can control your mind(cognition), you can definitely control your behavior and your emotions.Stress and anxiety are most of the time brought about by our reaction (perception)to stressors.CBT works wonders.

The author explores the concept of meditation and its primary objective of improving behavioral control. They also stress the importance of exercise in boosting self-perception, which in turn affects behavior. The book suggests that behavior can be influenced by multiple factors, highlighting the extensive impact even seemingly unrelated aspects can have. Ultimately, the text emphasizes the interconnected nature of meditation, exercise, self-perception, and behavior, illustrating how they all intertwine and shape one another.
