How Are You Really Feeling?
This month of December has been a very moving time.
I have felt so blessed.
At the same time, I have had moments of disconnection and doubt.
To pull myself up to better feelings I have been asking the honest question:
How are you really feeling?
Being a very upbeat and positive person, it can be tough to admit in the face of others how I am really feeling.
I know the tools that help me to feel better.
I know the words that help me feel better.
I know that I would like to feel as good as possible, yet … sometimes I feel bad.
How are you really feeling about this subject?
Powerful? Powerless? Hopeful? Hopeless?
In my pocket, I have a peace of paper. It holds that question, as well as an emotion scale developed by Esther & Jerry Hicks with ABRAHAM.
Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation
Passion
Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
Positive Expectation/Belief
Optimism
Hopefulness
Contentment
Boredom
Pessimism
Frustration/Impatience/Irritation
“Overwhelment”
Disappointment
Doubt
Worry
Blame
Discouragement
Anger
Revenge
Hatred/Rage
Jealousy
Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness
Only when I FEEL where I am on the scale, and then THINK a thought that FEELS better (a movement up the scale), am I able to transform my inner FEELING experience which attracts a my outer FEELING experiences.
Sometimes admitting that I feel powerless is very tough.
However, I have found that being able to admit when I feel powerless (or anywhere else on the scale), allows me to move up the scale and effectively connect with the power that stands waiting within each and everyone of us.
How are you really feeling?
Today, ask yourself this question about the most important issues in your life, and discover a way to move up the scale to your Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation.
Blessings,
Barry
