Feelings are a natural response to our thoughts and intentions. You do not really choose our feelings directly. Our feelings are a feedback mechanism. They indicate whether you are moving into alignment with our true desires (positive feelings) or out of alignment (negative feelings).
You should feel good when you are moving towards what you want, and feel bad when you are moving away from what you want. And that movement is more about thought and intention than it is about action.
Using Feelings as feedback
The way to deal with negative your feelings is to trace them all the way back to their source. That source will always be found in your thoughts and intentions. Ask yourself, “Which of my thoughts and intentions are giving rise to these feelings?” and you should be able to eventually find the answer. You can then find where you are out of alignment with what you really want. Negative feelings reveal that you are moving away from your true desires instead of towards them, so you do your best to acknowledge and accept your true desires and to align your thoughts with them.
There are a couple different processes you find effective here. The first is called journaling, where you write down and clarify your negative feelings and then figure out which of your thoughts are causing them. The second process is conversation. You may say to a friend or partner, “I am feeling disturbed, but I am not sure why? Will you help me figure this out?” Then you talk for a while and eventually get to the bottom of it.
Identifying the source of your feelings
If your antennae are sensitive and emotional, the feelings you experience may not be your own. For example, if a close relative feels great anxiety, one or both of you may feel intense negative emotion for no apparent reason. This can seemingly come out of nowhere and you struggle to think why you suddenly feel like that.
Most of the time, your feelings arise from your own thoughts. Through journaling or conversation, you can track them to the source. Invariably this reveals you have been inadvertently moving away from something you want. The negative emotions are a way for your true desires to get your attention.
Walkthrough your feelings
Suppose you sit down to work one day, and you just cannot seem to get anything going. You feel no passion for what you are doing, your work seems really tedious, and do not feel motivated to do anything. Maybe you succumb to this pattern for a few days. Then you feel even worse because you are not getting anything done.
In such situations you need to stop and track those feelings back to the source. Eventually you will find the unacknowledged desire that is the cause of the state.
If you acknowledge the desire you may come into better alignment with it. But there may still be a gnawing feeling of negativity that you are missing something. Another round of introspection may bring up more revelations.
Continuing to use feelings as feedback, keep listening and taking action, noticing what works (positive feelings) and what doesn’t work (negative or neutral feelings). The pattern of the true desire should begin to emerge.
As you keep making changes to bring yourself into alignment with your true desires, your baseline emotional state becomes increasingly positive.
Eventually those negative feelings will return, indicating that yet another desire has surfaced that you must attend to. Negative feelings are not negative; they are an indication that you are ready to manifest a whole new desire. As soon as you recognize that, it is easy to get moving in the right direction, and it feels good to do so. The universe will drop the appropriate opportunities right into your lap. The phone will ring, or a friend will tell you about something at just the right time. All you have to do is keep saying yes as long as it keeps moving you in the direction of more positive feelings. Taking these steps is actually very easy because you are simply following the trail to more positive emotional states. It is resisting the steps that is hard.
Negative feelings are a call to action
Negative feelings mean you are going the wrong way. Your current reality is no longer a match for you, and it is time for you to experience something new. This must be a good thing, so do not worry when you notice you are feeling bad. It just means you want something better or different. Do not dwell on negative feelings, instead go into detective mode, and figure out why you are feeling bad. It is because you want something new that you do not yet have yet, and at the same time you are stubbornly resisting what you want by failing to fully align your vibrations with it. Do not ignore your desires, or those negative feelings will only grow stronger and louder until you have to listen or the situation forces change.
Often what traps you in negative emotion is that deep down you know what you want, but you do not think you can get it. Sometimes you also do not feel you deserve it. So you tell yourself maybe you should not desire it. This is a mistake. it never works. You cannot NOT want what you want. If you want it, you want it. Trying to deny your desires is only going to frustrate you. You must do the exact opposite of that.
Summoning an energy of desire
When you want something, really want it. Let that marvellous feeling of desire permeate your entire being, until you are almost ready to explode from the energy! Desire should feel good. This is how to get yourself aligned with what you want. This is what activates the Law of Attraction and helps manifest what you want. This is also what activates your creativity and summons inspired action to help you get there even faster.
What you want to summon here is not exactly a thought, a feeling, or an action. Some people call it a vibration. That is pretty close to what it feels like. To some it is a sensation of being charged with positive energy.
Align yourself with your desires, and allow
The receiving and manifesting part is not up to us so much; your part is simply to admit what you really want, to firmly hold that desire, and to move into full alignment with it. You will begin to feel very good as soon as you start moving in the right direction, which starts with clarifying exactly what you want and then allowing yourself to want it.
If you have been feeling bad of late, recognize that it is because you want something that you do not currently have. Don you want to feel even worse, then try pretending you do not really want it, assume you will never get it, or imagine you do not deserve it. Want to turn it around and feel fantastic, then step fully and completely into that desire, and revel in the energy it summons.
Feeling bad can be a good thing
You are supposed to feel bad when new desires get activated, or at least initially. That emotional nudge is there to get your attention, so you will listen to what you really want and start heading in that direction.
This process does not have to be a struggle. When you move in the direction of your true desires, not the socially conditioned ones, you will feel good. It is also relatively easy. What makes it difficult is when you resist the notion of wanting what you want. Instead of resisting our desires, you need to do the exact opposite, embrace them fully and completely.
