about

Action seems to follow feeling, but really action and feeling go together; and by regulating the action, which is under the more direct control of the will, we can indirectly regulate the feeling, which is not.

Thus the sovereign voluntary path to cheerfulness, if our spontaneous cheerfulness be lost, is to sit up cheerfully, to look round cheerfully, and to act and speak as if cheerfulness were already there. If such conduct does not make you soon feel cheerful, nothing else on that occasion can. So to feel brave, act as if we were brave, use all our will to that end, and a courage-fit will very likely replace the fit of fear.

— William James, "The Gospel of Relaxation", On Vital Reserves (1922)

lyrics

When you were faking it
But you still weren't making it
Did the wheels go round and round?

You needed confidence
But you had no competence
To get your motor off the ground

And the wheels go round and round

Was this your destiny
Or just some mess you made
On another side of town?

And in your bed at night
Looking up at orange light
Did your soul feel underground?

The wheels go round and round
The wheels go round and round
The wheels go round and round
The wheels go round and round

Can you make believe
You're chosen to receive
Both the scepter and the crown?

Can you act as if
You can climb the highest cliff
And come floating gently down?

And the wheels go round and round
The wheels go round and round
The wheels go round and round
And the wheels go round and round
