Well, I want you to start celebrating right now because I am going to show you 6 simple things that you can start doing this very minute to ditch those unwanted feelings and begin enjoying your life with fullness of joy.
Today, make a special visit to that special room where your negative emotions and feeling live. Identify the uncomfortable impulses that make their home in you
and root them out of there.
- Recognize the truth that these negative emotions and feelings that dog your life are merely impulses of energy with a corresponding chemistry and if you change the chemistry, you change the energy and these feelings will loose their ability to cling to you.
- You can change the feelings by changing your thoughts. Begin right now to think about a happy situation or event and acting like you want to feel. If you want to feel happy. Begin to act happy. If you want to feel confident, begin to act with confidence even in the presence of fear.
- The words that you speak are powerful. They determine how you feel to a great extent. Therefore speak words of happiness and joy about your life. Let no negative communication come out of your mouth. Program happiness by saying I am happy and full of joy, even if you feel miserable. Say it with conviction. This is how you train the brain.
- Recognize that the kind of negative feelings you have are usually triggered by the kind of events and situations that accost you. If it’s an insult, here comes resentment or hostility and you welcome them unwittingly into your room and you feed them with milk and cookies and they hang around for more.
- Stop feeding negative emotions. As soon as they appear, recognize them for what they are. Find out what precipitated their presence ( a lazy spouse, a demanding boss etc) and dismiss these unpleasant feelings forthwith, by focusing on the positive opposite. When your lover disappoints you and anger raises its ugly head, get a piece of paper and make a list of all the things you are grateful to your partner for. Forsake the negative emotions and they will die for want of attention as you focus on making your gratitude list and speaking happiness into your life.
- Remember that emotions are like programs on television. If you don’t like the program you are watching, if it does not make you feel good, use the remote control. It right in your hand. Go ahead and change the channel. Try a channel of love or joy or hope. Just like you don’t keep watching a program you hate, don’t keep catering to emotions that depress you. Focus on the kinds of emotions that you want to experience.
Don’t play victim to emotions any longer. You are in charge.
