All the Feels
A word on feelings...
You are a sentient and feeling being. It’s kinda what makes you human. So, understanding and accepting your feelings, and also knowing how you wish to feel is the perfect way to discover and live into your creation power. (*We will go much deeper into this concept in week 4).
Exercise: Make a list of how you wish to feel then circle or highlight the top 3-5 words that you will use to make your personal theme/mantra for 2025.
Behind every craving is a feeling you wish to feel. This applies to our choices of how we self-medicate, self-harm or mis-create and keep ourselves in unsatisfying cycles. Knowing this, we can begin to consciously choose based on a greater understanding of how we really wish to feel.
It is this knowledge of the secret language of our feelings in which we can hear the soul’s messages and begin to respond accordingly. Instead of placating ourselves with temporary fixes, we can identify and prioritize how we wish to feel as the most important goal. You can, in fact, choose how you wish to feel and train yourself into the desired feeling state as your baseline.
Note: this is NOT about avoiding “bad” feelings or by-passing, it is about getting honest about how we want to feel, taking ultimate responsibility with what we are currently using/doing as a substitute which might be blocking us from achieving that desired feeling state.
Complete the following exercise to begin to link your feelings and the cravings that are not satisfying your Soul. We will look at this exercise again at the end of the course so it is important to do it now for future comparison.
