You are what you feel

We are what we feel. If we feel nothing, we are nothing. If we feel happy, we are happy. If you feel wealthy, you are wealthy! Do you know how to change your emotions and to get yourself in the mood for feeling something positive?

Emotional Intelligence is a much under developed gift in all of us. We use less than five percent of our brain capacity…much of that may be unused emotional intelligence. Shame on us…now there’s an emotion many of us will be familiar with. If we feel shame, we are shame. Stop it. Kick it out. Use the feeling of shame to motivate you to feel something different. Choose empowerment rather than hang heading shame.

One of the difficulties with being what you feel is that we don’t really have a good range of feelings to call upon. In our English language there are almost 3000 feeling words, but, typically any of us will only ever use six words in our entire adult feeling vocabulary. My goodness! That’s enough of a revelation to ensure I spend some time increasing my feeling vocabulary!

It is possible to change your mood, your feeling. The Law of Attraction says that like attracts like. If we are feeling depressed then we attract more depression and other depressed people around us. If we are feeling calm then we attract more calm and calm people around us. The modern day translation of the Law of Attraction is that YOU ARE WHAT YOU FEEL.

If you are having a negative feeling (anger, depression, resentment, confusion, sad, etc.)  then it is up to you to change it…to do something that will purposely attract a new feeling to you (try reading, How to get rid of negative emotion). When I am angry I put on music that I love. Within moments I feel my mood lift and change. I start to attract joy and liveliness. I become more energetic and I want to sing (much to the horror of Master 13 who always says, “One person singing is enough!”). If you are serious about change then you will do it. Read How to change yourself in two easy steps for a couple of really simple ideas to kick along your change process today.

A great tip for changing your feeling is to remember a time when you felt happy (or surprised or excited or peaceful, etc). Think the thought and see the picture in your head. How did you feel inside, outside, on your head, under your toes? Become very familiar with that good feeling and call it back whenever you want to change a negative feeling to a more positive one.

Here’s a list of Feeling Faces to help you learn new feelings and words.

Here’s a list of Feeling Words. WOW! There’s 3000 of them. We play a game and try to learn a new feeling word a week.

Here’s one more ‘feel good’ tip for you too: Just as you are only as young as the man that you feel (well…I’m married to a younger man ) start hanging out with people who are okay about feeling good, happy, prosperous and focused. The more you hang with positive people, the more positive you become because LIKE ATTRACTS LIKE. After all, you are what you feel.
