A Feelings Driven Life

Every thought we think has an emotional charge to it. Some we do not feel, others we feel strongly. Some thoughts create happy emotions,  some feelings of sadness.

Emotions triggers feelings. Feelings are our internal language. Our body uses feelings to give us updates on our physical and mental condition. It’s like a 24/7 monitoring system.  When we physically and mentally feel good we are in an optimal  condition. No action needed, all systems OK! This is the state we all aim for. This is when we are pleasant and fun to be around, and productive in our personal and in our business life.

We all know that we seldom stay like this all day. We have our ups and downs, which is quite normal since we think about thousands of different things during a day. Some of these thoughts will have sad emotions attached to them and trigger sad feelings.  There is no way every thought is happy.

As long as we only stay with thoughts that trigger bad feelings for a short while we are OK, it’s normal. And we will consider ourselves as a generally  happy and balanced person. We would not label ourselves as unhappy or depressed.

It’s when we linger too long in this state that we’re getting onto problems. When we start talking to ourselves saying “I feel down today.” I feel depressed”. ” I can’t get anything done.” That’s when we need to stop, and take action.  If you find yourself doing this, you are not listening to your feelings. You can only say these things if you feel them!. So, you have done what sadly many do. Ignored the message from our body (the feeling) and accepted it as a condition. It’s not! It’s a feeling, a message to you, that something is not right. You are given a chance to take action, but it has to be the correct action.

The correct action is to identify why you feel down. Go back, find out what you are thinking about, because it has to be something that created these emotions that in turn triggered these feelings. When you have done that you can take correct action and stop the emotions and the messages (feelings).

So go back to the book and use the method described to free yourself from these emotions and return to a emotionally balanced and happy state of mind.

Welcome to my new blog for “A Feelings Driven Life” I hope you find information that will help you become a happy and emotionally balanced person.

I have planned to do a blog on this topic for years. Unfortunately I’m not a good writer and that has kept me from starting one. But my method is so easy to understand and so powerful that I feel I have no choice than to do this.
