NOTE

Feelings Follow Actions: Do First, Feel Later

Many people hold back from expressing gratitude or appreciation because they fear looking foolish. Embracing the possibility of looking silly can lead to meaningful actions such as writing thank-you notes, which fosters genuine care. The act of writing, even if done initially from a place of obligation, can transform one's feelings, making them more caring over time. Furthermore, the psychological idea illustrated through the concept of focusing on red illustrates how our attention shapes our perceptions; when we concentrate on one aspect (like red objects), other details (like blue objects) become invisible. This highlights the importance of consciously directing our focus, as the brain filters out excess stimuli to hone in on what we prioritize.
