I not only find Buddhism helpful when trying to enlighten my mind, but I find other Eastern religions and philosophies equally helpful.
Dharma, Nishkam Karma, Wu Wei, ZaZen and Tantra all point to the idea that thoughts and emotions originate in action rather than in intellectualization. . Thus the slogan:
"Action changes thinking better than thinking changes action".
