“Your emotions are signals to your conscious brain that something is going on that requires your attention and action—that’s all they are. Your conscious brain, if you choose to use it, gets to decide how you will respond to them.” Once more for good measure: Your emotions are only signals. And you get to decide how you’ll respond to them. The emotion is the tap on the shoulder, the elbow nudge in your side. What you do about it is completely your call.
