It seems like more and more people are learning about how our thoughts create our feelings.
Maybe even some have learned that our thoughts and feelings about ourselves and the world around us come from our beliefs.
Okay, cool - that’s all good stuff.
But learning about something doesn’t necessarily mean that we’ll apply it to our lives.
I had to read about this multiple times; I had to hear it said to me 100 different ways before I truly understood it AND could apply my understanding to make changes in my life.
You see, we all have developed our own personalities.
Our way of being. How we handle life and situations.
And how we feel in general on a day to day basis.
And what I’ve learned from a scientific standpoint is that we are addicted to “feeling” a certain way.
For example: You probably know a person that even when something GREAT happens in their life or in the world they have a way of making it NOT that great?
They’re forever pessimistic about everything, and you hear them say things like,
“Ahhh, well that’s too good to be true.”
or
“Let’s see how long that lasts…”
or
“Just wait… in no time we’ll be back to the s**t show.”
Or maybe you know someone that is a worry wart and they are finally in a place in their life where they really don’t have much to worry about - yet they still do?
Or you’ve experienced for yourself feeling bored a lot, frustrated often, or anxious a lot… Maybe even for years?
Here’s the thing, we feel these “feelings” because of the chemical cocktail that our bodies produce as a result of our pessimistic, bored, frustrated, anxious, and worried thoughts.
Our bodies get used to these feelings, these chemicals, especially if we’ve been living our lives this way for years, or even decades. It feels “NORMAL” for us, so we don’t recognize that’s how we’re actually feeling most of the time.
So when we DO feel optimistic, excited, happy, peaceful and calm - we feel “OFF”.
Then we automatically generate the thoughts that create the feelings we are used to feeling, that we’re “comfortable” feeling - and just like that, we’re back to feeling pessimistic, bored, frustrated, anxious and worried.
If you’re with me so far, you may be thinking - okay great Julie, now what?
Well, what’s happening is your body is running the show, trying to get its “fix” of chemicals it’s used to. But you are NOT your body.
So when you’re feeling all those “normal” not so great feelings, your body is anything but relaxed. Hence, you’re not able to think clearly - which is why you keep getting sucked down the rabbit hole.
What can you do?
Breathe.
Close your eyes and relax.
Get your “physiology” (your body) out of the driver seat, and let your inner self take the wheel.
Now, you may be ready to poo poo over this simple idea but I’m telling you IT WORKS.
And I’ve been proving it to myself and with my clients over and over again.
To truly live the life you desire you have to do things differently.
THIS is different.
THIS is a way for you to not only FEEL better, but LIVE better.
Sending you SO MUCH LOVE.💕
