But there’s another sense in which feelings can be true or false. Some feelings, after all, are more than feelings; they don’t just imply judgments about whether doing certain things will be good for the organism; they come with actual, explicit beliefs about things in the environment and how they relate to the organism’s welfare. Obviously, such beliefs can be true or false in a pretty straightforward sense.

tips for sharing control Become really alert. Open your eyes. Breathe and remind yourself to relax. Notice what’s going on—attention, attention, attention. Watch what others are doing and saying. When you see something that needs to be done, do it. Keep adjusting to how it is rather than how you’d like it to be. Make your partner look good—support him or her. Make sense out of the moment. Notice mistakes as they occur, then refocus on what’s needed to continue. Keep on acting, even while wondering if it’s the right thing to do.
