The Power Triad : Thoughts, Feelings and Actions

THE STORY OF THE TWO WOLVES

The following is an
old Cherokee Indian story that is
enlightening and helpful.
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".

Knowing which wolf to feed is the first step towards recognizing you
have control over your own self.

Have you ever had thoughts, feelings or acted in ways that were
unacceptable to yourself but felt powerless to control? The purpose of
this story is to help you find ways to manage your mind so that you
can live your life more in accordance with what your own judgment
says is best for you.

As we grow up, we gradually become aware of the many things in the

external world which are largely beyond our ability to control. These
include other people in general and most events in our lives. Initially
this is difficult to accept, but a more shocking realization is that there
are many things about ourselves that we seem powerless to control.

Some of these are our own thoughts, feelings, and actions which
unfortunately can be the source of much distress. It may be thoughts
such as “I cannot stop hating my teacher for not giving me high
grades.” It may involve an emotion e.g. “My girlfriend left me and I
cannot stop feeling sad, lonely and unloved.

It can also be in the form of a behavior such as the inability to control

one's craving for food such as cakes and chocolates.”

6
 But are we indeed really powerless to control our own maladaptive
thoughts, feelings and actions? The grandfather’s answer "The one
you feed" is deceivingly simple. The results of psychological research
indicate that there are at least four important concepts or ideas
implied by the answer:

1. The mind is not the unitary entity it seems to us but

consists of different parts. For example in the story there are the two
wolves and the “you” that chooses between them.
2. These parts of the mind/brain can interact and be in
conflict with each other
i.e. the two wolves fight for dominance over our mind and behavior.
3. The “you” has the ability to decide which wolf it will feed.
4. Having made a choice, “you” can decide specifically how to
“feed” or nurture the selected wolf.

The STORY OF THE TWO WOLVES gives rise to a number of

questions. Let us share our thoughts, feelings and opinions on the
following questions. By taking time to do this, you will learn to better
manage your mind, feelings, and actions and consciously feeding the
good wolf in you.
o How aware are you of the two different opposing “wolves” operating
within your mind, one of which leads to pain and a diminished sense
of life and the other to a joyous, meaningful, and fulfilling life?
o When was the time you feel disappointed by the choice of behavior
because you knew that there was a more positive option but you just
didn’t choose it?
o What ways or techniques or exercises do you use to strengthen
yourself so as to increase its potency to choose and hence control your
life?
o In what specific ways do you feed the negative wolf?
o What specific ways do you use to feed the positive wolf?
o
