We are not thought driven human beings

It is far too simplistic to think that everything is thought based. Instincts and emotions in the brain are quicker to register than thoughts.

The thinking part of the brain is the newest. It takes 250ms to register a thought in the brain and 80ms to register an emotion. Therefore, our thoughts are always trying to catch up with our emotions. Simplistic approaches about rethinking the way you feel are wrong. Things can be done to regulate our emotions but we are emotionally driven beings and emotions can invade our thoughts and take over. Our thoughts cannot invade our emotions. Thoughts are not as powerful as emotions.
