i'm choosing to try and stop feeling that way if i'm still mad after i have my time out, then i was choosing to not be mad but it didn't work out, i'm not choosing to keep being mad
okay so check it feelings are sparks firing off in your brain about whatever's happening around you like haven't you ever felt some way and you know you shouldn't. that's the logic part of your brain going "this is what's happening and what it would make sense to feel" and some other part of your brain is like "cool story but i'm listening to all the chemicals and shit the rest of our body made over here" and that part is usually louder
and yeah you can gradually change your mind but that's probably a bunch of little stuff that you're doing over time, or learning new stuff that changes your feelings, because your feelings aren't about the same thing anymore
i think you're overthinking it why are you thinking so much about it anyway
