The Power of Triad

BIG QUESTION: How do your thoughts, feelings and behaviours affect the way you act, the way you live
and the way you see the world?

OBJECTIVES: At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:

a. differentiate thoughts, feelings and behaviour


b. give the importance of managing our thoughts, feelings and behaviour.
c. show the connection between ones thoughts, feelings and behaviour

“Thoughts lead to feelings, feelings lead to actions, and actions lead to results”- T. Harv Eker

Thoughts are the ideas that run through your mind. It can be things you tell yourself about what is going
on around you. There are many different thoughts you could have about a single situation. It is important
to note also that your thought does not always mean to be true. Thoughts can be the result of assumptions
on why something has happened, or about something that might happen.

Feelings are emotional experiences or


perceptions of events in the body, closely
related to emotion. They come and go as
different things happen to you. You
might feel happy, angry, and sad, all in
one day. Some feelings are
uncomfortable, but they are not bad.
Everyone has these feelings from time-
to-time.

Action/Behavior is the way you act in


response to a particular situation or
stimulus. Your thoughts and feelings
have a big impact on how you act. If you
feel happy, you are likely to do nice
things. But if you feel angry, you might
want to act mean.

The situation above shows us how a thought changes how we feel, and what we do. Thoughts,
feelings, and behaviors are interrelated and necessary to self-evaluate because your emotions can
overwhelm your rationality and affect the way you behave around people. Hence, to win in life, you must
manage and control these three in everyday situations. Do not become either too rational or too
emotional. Balance things out.

It is important to note also that your thought does not always mean to be true. Thoughts can be the
result of assumptions on why something has happened, or about something that might happen. Coming up
with new thoughts will help you see a situation differently
Knowing that our thoughts affects the way we behave and act then understanding the concept of
fight-or-flight response will be helpful. Fight-or-flight response (also called hyperarousal or the acute
stress response) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event, attack, or
threat to survival.

It is used to describe your reaction to a situation, either stay and deal with it (fight); or run away
(flee/flight). Thus, you become a fighter or flighter.

• You are walking down an alley when suddenly a man tries to steal your cellphone and ran away.
You run after him. YOU ARE A FIGHTER.

• You accidentally broke the chair in your classroom. You pretended nothing happened and walked
away. YOU ARE A FLIGHTER.
Practice Task 1: The Snake and the Saw
Directions: Read and analyze the story below. Fill out the chart using the thoughts, feelings and action/
behavior of the character in the story.

One night a snake, looking for food,


entered a carpenter’s workshop. The
carpenter, who was a rather untidy man,
had left several of his tools lying on the
floor. One of them was a saw.

As the snake went round and round the


shop, it climbed over the saw, which gave it
a little cut. At once, thinking that the saw
was attacking it, the snake turned around
and bit it so hard that its mouth started to
bleed. This made the snake very angry. So
the snake decided to roll around the saw as
if wanting to suffocate it with his whole
body.

As the snake squeezed the saw the snake got hurt even more. Because of that, the snake thought it had to
attack harder so it squeezed even more. This went on until one of them lost the battle.

Practice Task 2: The Story of the Two Wolves


Directions: Read the story below and answer the “ Do This” activity that follows.

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a


battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the
battle is between two wolves inside us all."

"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is


evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he
is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness,
benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and
faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every
other person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then


asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed".
