I practice thinking through my feelings in order to make them manageable without even being conscious of it most of the time.However, I don't think people can determine what is "hard wired" or more to the point, there are basic instinctive reactions, but I don't think one can determine what else may be hard wired for other individuals, or to what level they can make their emotions manageable. I can't cheer myself out of a depression, no matter how many people think I can "snap out of it"
And words affect us physiologically as well.
