Cognition is not entirely responsible but it has a huge contribution as we know how to discriminate among good and bad for us. We have choice in lot of matters. If we develop conscience and self-control, bad acts can be avoided.Fatima Saif wrote: ↑08 Aug 2020, 01:17 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy says that cognition and behavior are inter-related and have an influence on each other. If we want to modify behavior, we have to change our thoughts in the first place. Tensions, anxieties, depression arouses from our thoughts and perception of events. If our thought perceives an event traumatic, brain triggers such hormones that we become sad and tearful. It is true to some extent.
But do you accept this negotiation of external and internal factors in the direction of our behavior? Our behavior is not only directed by cognition. Our personality traits, our bonding and attachment (emotional factor) with our relations, environmental factors, genetic factors, and traumatic events all make us behave differently than we normally do.
Do you think that only changing thoughts changes behavior and everything? Share your prestigious views from your observations, personal experiences and everyday life?

I agree to your thoughts that exercise helps in reducing stress and changing vision about one self and boosts positive self-image.mpsmaster wrote: ↑08 Aug 2020, 06:57 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.

I'd often heard that if you think only positive thoughts, your actions and how you perceive everything will start to change for the better. And for me, that's a little bit toxic. It feels like you would be suppressing the negative that would build up and explode as time passes. There has to be a balance somewhere.Fatima Saif wrote: ↑08 Aug 2020, 01:17 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy says that cognition and behavior are inter-related and have an influence on each other.

I'm a huge believer in the MBTI personality framework. MBTI says our personalities and associated thought patterns are fixed by the time we are about 6 years old usually due to genetics and our environment.Fatima Saif wrote: ↑08 Aug 2020, 01:17 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy says that cognition and behavior are inter-related and have an influence on each other.

Positive thinking can work to an extent but I'm not sure if it can really alter personality.

Still, it's exposure that's the most important component of CBT to treat anxiety. And I think to experience the thing you're afraid of without a negative consequence also changes your cognition about the things you feel anxious about.

Yes, I agree, that while biological changes could be beyond our control, we should be aware of the fact that we can manage the way we react most times, by taking control of our thoughts. For a man, becomes what he thinks about.Christieee wrote: ↑08 Aug 2020, 07:57 Changing the direction of your thoughts can definitely cause a big change I personality and behavior. 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.
