“You are never going to feel like starting” - Me

Emotions are not a choice. Your behavior is. You cannot choose your emotions. Only your behavior.

Emotions are not your choice. You don’t get to choose when or how you are going to feel in certain situations and at different times.

You get to choose your behavior. So you might ask, “Scott, how do I choose consistent behavior for myself?” And the answer is, you 1) need awareness. You need to watch yourself and feel yourself behaving and doing life. 2) Once you see the emotion and how you are acting you then simply have a choice to make: accept it or change it. That’s it. Those are the only choices you have in any given moment about your behavior and actions.
