Following this assessment, instinct creates feelings to shape our behaviour - our thoughts as well as our actions. Feelings determine what we think and do to survive.  Every emotion you have is necessary for survival, and that includes feelings that we don't want to have like anxiety, depression, unhappiness, anger, envy, jealousy.  There are ways to influence the feelings produced by instinct (drugs - medication, alcohol, nicotine, party drugs - to disrupt your brain) or to lessen the distress of instinct (activity to distract you).  Selling you on ways to change your feelings is a lucrative and a 'repeat business' because following every change, instinct will ensure the return of emotions that you need for survival.
