The
Power of Positive Feelings
You
feel powerful and strong. You feel an energy inside you that says
"I am here to do something great!" You feel yourself walk
into any situation, confident and at peace. You feel successful.
Ah,
how good it feels!
Have
you ever noticed that we ask each other, "How are you feeling
today?" I have never met anyone who asked me, "How are you
thinking today John?"
Why
is this?
Perhaps
it is because how we feel is how we live. If I feel miserable, my
life reflects that misery. If I feel confident, then I act confident
and I attract into my life that which I desire because I feel I
deserve it.
In
every moment, you and I feel something. And these feelings we have
shape our destiny. Notice I write "these feelings we have".
Feelings do not have us; we have feelings.
Most
personal development focuses on thinking. Change your thinking and
you change your life. I agree, but thinking arises from feeling. If I
am holding tension in my body, if I feel tense, then my thinking is
shaped by tension. And I react accordingly.
That
tension is the result of accumulated thoughts and feelings. And the
more thoughts that accumulate, the greater the tension (also known as
stress) until ultimately I make myself ill; both physically and mentally.
Positive
thinking is a great idea, but it has limitations, does it not? Can
you tell me what your next thought will be? Not without thinking
about it! And by the time you have come up with an answer your mind
has already moved on to something else.
Plus
all thoughts are found in the past. One cannot think in this moment.
One can only experience this moment and it is this moment and the
succession of this moment that make your life. Right now, plus right
now, plus right now, equal your life and the results you create.
To
make a change in how you experience and what you do with "right
now" you must act on the feeling level to make true changes. And
by changing how you feel right now, you change your destiny.
We
all know of this power. It is a power we are born with that becomes
discarded when we are told to stop feeling and start thinking. All
limitations exist only in our thinking, yet that is exactly what
everyone is telling us to do! Get an education and learn your limits!
If
you have ever watched a young child develop, you will notice how
they do not accept "no" for an answer. Failure does not
stop us until we learn that failure means something bad. We then
spend the rest of our life trying to reprogram our mind with
clichés about how failure is the foundation of success, but do
we really believe it? As children we fall, we hurt, we let the
feeling go and we take off running again. As adults we fall, we hurt,
and we tell stories about it for the rest of our life to anyone who
will listen!
If
you want to achieve a breakthrough in any area of your life, stop
trying to reprogram your mind and notice how you feel. When you set a
goal, notice the feelings that arise for you. Fear? Anxiety? Doubt?
They are nothing more than feelings; electro-chemical impulses.
The
good news? You can learn to let these feelings go and when you do,
your potential has new life and it expands beyond the limits of
thought. You feel a new energy when you realize all that prevents you
from having all that you desire are these feelings which you have
chosen to hold on to because you think, yes you think, they serve you
in some way.
No
analyzing is necessary, nor programming or re-programming, nor
words; just feelings. Powerful feelings.
