cog thinking or instincts?
Ok back to the confusion about feelings.
what happens when your guts or instincts are telling you this is a bad
situation, dont even mess with it, or this is not a good person, get
away from him/her.
not even when its life threatening, but just there, I always think the
best thing is listen to my instincts and back off and leave it alone
before I have to deal with it, unless of course there isn’t a choice.
I ran into a situaton like that today, there wasnt a trigger involved
in it, but I had trouble taking the time to stop and think whether
this was cognitive reaction, well no I never thought it was, but once
I had walked away, I had to wonder if it would have been better to
take a cognitive approach to decide about what to do.
in the past it would have been a trigger but I decided instead it was
time to eat, and after go for a walk and get a little excercise. it
was after the whole thing that I did some abc’s.
anyway, I wanted to ask about it, since its something that happens as
a part of life. I figure the insincts are important, but is there a
point or a time, that its better to use cognitive thinking instead?
