We learn in EA that we are powerless over our feelings. If we are feeling depressed or anxious, we cannot command ourselves to feel better. We have been given a set of steps for sane living. When following these instructions, we begin to feel better. We many not be able to control our feelings, but we do have the power to act. We can follow the program by working the steps. Sometimes we may be "doing good" but "feeling bad." We are doing what we think God would have us do and still feel depressed or anxious. Our experience in EA shows us that if we persevere, sooner or later our feelings catch up with our actions. Our step work pays off and we feel good again.
Help me remember that positive thoughts and actions can improve feelings.
Nothing changes unless something changes.
