Your belief about an event decides your feeling, so change the belief 🍜
The Formula
The "ABC theory" says: event × belief = feeling.
Same Sound
Some people think ramen slurping sounds "yummy," and some people think it sounds "dirty!"
The sound is the same, so only the belief is different.
⚡ TRY IT
The feeling machine
The event stays the same. Change only the belief card, and see what feeling comes out.

Thinking… 🤔
Happy! Now I want ramen too.
Angry! Please stop that!
Calm. I will just eat my food.
Sad. What a waste of a day.
Happy! A cozy day at home.
Calm. I will take an umbrella.
Worried! My heart hurts.
Fine. I can wait.
Calm. I forget too, sometimes.

Two Dead Ends
You cannot change the event, and if you hold in the feeling, it explodes later.
Change The Belief
So the one to change is the belief.
