This for me was an important turning point. Feelings come from thoughts and you can think different things about yourself. In fact, that's exactly what subs are trying to do, get you to think different things about yourself. Not in your mind, but your heart. When bad feelings come up, stop for a second if you have time and see what the thought behind it is. Be willing to stop thinking it, even if it feels real. It only feels real because you are creating that internal reality, not because it is inherently real.
