I Feel Better Now!
By Cornelia Powell | November 12, 2009
Have you ever noticed that when you’re feeling a bit overwhelmed, that your mind gets really noisy? I’m working on my book launch campaign for next month—there are lots of details to handle, never done it like this before, want it to be a big success, a lot riding on it, am I doing it right?—lots of “conversations” going on!
And I’m noticing that the more I “listen to” my mind’s noisy conversations, the more my “small self” starts taking over in other areas—complaining, worrying, doubting. So, I needed a wake-up call to my “Big Self” fast!
Some deep breathing helped; a quiet walk in the woods helped; but I realized that I was “resisting” being happy! And I really heard myself thinking that—yikes! How silly is that when not only could I feel what it was costing me, but I really get that’s simply why we’re all here—to be happy!
Then I read something by Esther and Jerry Hicks:
“There is no reason why Well-Being is not pouring into your experience—in precise detail in response to all the things that you have identified that you want—other than the fact that you are in a bad mood, or are angry or worried about something.”
Double yikes! One more reminder that it’s simple as that—and all up to me to make a shift! I’m in a bad mood? Cut it out—look at all I have to be grateful for! I’m angry? Let it go—look at all I have to be grateful for! I’m worried about something? Knock it off—look at all I have to be grateful for! I had just forgotten to say, with every thought: “Thank you. I love you.” “I love you. Thank you.”
Whew! I feel better. So now when I notice if I’m resisting something—like being happy, being grateful, being loving—I just let go and invite my “Big Self” to come out and play!
