Yeah, this is what I meant. I used to let anger sit with me for hours and derail most of my day.

But now I'm better at deciding to let negative emotions go and feel happy or calm.

Making choices to change your situation will change your feelings so I do believe feelings are a choice to be made in most situations.

Choosing is a big one. Something I learned later in life about emotional maturity and controlling your emotions is that it's just choosing to feel an emotion.

Like, feeling angry for longer than I needed because I didn't know how to make the choice to feel happy or calm.

Of course there's more nuance to it but I agree with choosing
