CBT says cognition affect behavior? Do you agree that cognition is responsible for all bad actions we did in our life?
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?

All the bad - maybe not. I don't think that every action is conscious. Everyone has heard of a 'knee jerk reaction.' I think some of our bad actions, meaning bad for us in the long run, are due to drifting into situations because they are familiar, or snap decisions influenced by our circumstances of the moment. But I do believe that CBT is effective for nudging your personality in the direction you want it to go.

Yes, absolutely. That's what I wanted to say. There are many factors other than cognition that alters our behavior.

When you think of it that way, things start to get cyclical. You're totally right in saying that faking it can affect the way you think, but if we abstract it a bit further, you can't start faking it until you think to do so. Not to diminish your point or anything, you just made me realize that thoughts and behavior can be cyclically linked.

Although there may be numerous external factors surrounding us, mindset, and personal interests play a bigger role in stress and anxiety.
