Practice the super-natural art of acting your way into a feeling rather than the natural instinct to feel your way into an action.
The thought behind the quote
Our feelings are REAL...but they are not FACTS!
It is so easy to be led by our feelings and yet, God never intended for you to be led by how you feel!
“Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and crucified them there. Since we are living by the Spirit, let us follow the Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives. Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.” Galatians 5:24-26 NLT

Even though we are body, soul, and spirit, God wants us to be LED by the Spirit of God and then be Spirit...Soul and Body...in our focus. God wants us to FOLLOW His Spirit, and then lead our lives with our spirit...leading our soul and our body to carry out our purpose and function in the Kingdom.
Seek to be led by the Spirit of God so you CAN lead your emotions/feelings! It is SUPERNATURAL to act your way into a feeling and stop having to FEEL before you take action! DON’T follow your feelings!! FORCE your feelings to follow your spirit, because YOU are being led by the Spirit of God and NOT your feelings.
