Tips For Staying In A Good Feeling Place

We are manifesting the essence of what we are thinking about. If we want to be joyful, deliberate creators then we must pay attention to how our thoughts feel when we think them. The more aware we are of how the thought feels the more deliberate we can be in choosing a better feeling thought.

We know in the moment whether a thought feels good or bad. Simply put when we feel good we are headed towards our desired manifestations and when we feel bad we are headed away from them. That’s why Abraham is always talking about the importance of feeling good.

I would like to share some of the processes I use for staying in a good feeling place and aligned with my desires.

Morning Alignment suggestions from Abraham
Lie there and bask for a few moments in the comfort of your bed. See if you have any dream recall. Dream recall is our physical translation of blocks of the Non-Physical thought we interacted with in the dream state. Abraham says that when we sleep we reemerge back into the Energy of Non-Physical and we have conversations (not in words but in vibration) as we wake up we translate that block of thought into its physical equivalent. Make note of any dream recall you have since our dreams give insight into our current vibrational state.

What am I going to create today?
When I ask myself this question it reminds me that we are always creating. We can create deliberately or by default – the choice is up to us. I like the idea of consciously creating my day – a beautiful and comforting home environment, loving and empowering relationships, a job that I adore, more prosperity, etc. Be a deliberate creator.

Read an inspiring quote and take the message personally
I signed up to receive the daily quote from Abraham. I read it first thing when I get to work. I think of it as specific guidance for me; thinking of it this way helps me to take the message to heart and find ways to put it into practice in my life. It also helps give me something positive to focus on through out the day.

Meditation
Spend a few minutes every day in meditation. I started with just five minutes a day and found that it felt so good that I wanted to keep going. I don’t put a lot of rules or restrictions on myself. I just sit quiet and gently release any thoughts that come up. I like to breathe as deeply as I can during this process. It feels really good to do it. I noticed that things were able to manifest more easily when I added meditation into my daily practice.

Don’t argue with what is currently in your life experience
See your life experience as a perfect vibrational match to your thoughts. Make adjustments to your thoughts as needed.

Focus on what you want to experience
Throughout the day, offer the thought that you are going to look for reasons to feel good and then spend a few minutes looking for the positive aspects of your surroundings and/or your situation. Look for reasons to laugh and have fun. If you start to feel negative emotion, stop and acknowledge that you want to feel good. Remember that feeling negative emotion isn’t bad; it’s only an indication that you are focused on something that you don’t want. When you know what you don’t want you can pivot to what you do want. Turn your attention to what you want and keep focused on those good feeling thoughts.

Evening Alignment suggestions from Abraham
Think about the best parts of your day. As you lie in your bed say to yourself – “I’m going to sleep now and while I’m sleeping, because my thoughts will be inactive, attraction will stop and my physical body will be completely refreshed at every level.” Turn your attention to the immediate things around you. Focus on the good feeling things – the comfort of your bed, the warmth of the covers, etc. Gently set forth the intention to sleep well and awaken refreshed with a good feeling, positive point of attraction.

Moving Up The Emotional Scale

A few days ago I had one of those days. I felt blah - not really sick but not really well, not really happy but not really sad, just...well...blah.

I woke up feeling tired. I had worked out in my yard the day before and then woke up the next morning with allergies and then I felt irritated at my body for even having allergies. I needed to wash my hair but I didn't feel like it. The clothes I wanted to wear were not clean so I wore something that I didn't feel like wearing. I had trouble concentrating at work. I kept thinking how much I wanted to be back home wrapped up in my comforter laying on the couch watching my That Girl DVDs.

I got out my notebook to do some writing in order to get clear about what I wanted. I thought about the teachings of Abraham-Hicks and about moving up the emotional scale; I definitely wanted to feel better. I appreciated the things that were in my life and all the things I had to be happy about. I focused on what I wanted and how I wanted to feel. And you know what? I still felt like crap.

Well crap may be a bit of an exaggeration. I did get some momentary relief and felt a tiny vibrational shift. I knew I was moving up the scale to a better feeling place but I didn't like where I was, even with the shift I had just experienced. It still didn't feel good and I wanted to feel better.

Usually doing the processes I just mentioned will immediately give me relief and keep me feeling good, focused, happy and excited about all the wonderful experiences that are on their way. So, why wasn't I feeling better?

Now, for someone like me who is by nature a very happy, positive and upbeat person, feeling blah and crappy is very uncomfortable; it's not in alignment with who I am and therefore it does not feel good. I know that how we feel equals what we attract so I care very much about how I feel and I understand the importance of staying in a good feeling place. Also, it just feels good to feel good.

My friend Frank called to see if I was free for lunch. Given my mood at the time, I hesitated accepting his invitation because I didn't want to blob my negativity on him but something told me to say yes. I met him for lunch and was still in my funk. I didn't want to talk much because I was hoping my mood would pass but I felt the need to mention my situation. After a short chat with him about how I was feeling I felt much better. What changed? I became willing to embrace my blah, crappy feeling and it kind of felt good to do so.

Frank reminded me to embrace how I was feeling instead of fighting it. I think I was trying so hard to feel better that it was actually making me feel worse that I wasn't feeling better. I went back to work and decided that I would just embrace the way I was feeling and that it would be just fine for me to do so. I noticed that I didn't feel better immediately but my vibration shifted slowly throughout the day and when it was time to go home I was in a completely different place emotionally and I was feeling so much better.

I realized that I was having trouble moving up the emotional scale because I was reaching for thoughts that were too far out of my vibrational range. Embracing how I felt allowed me to release resistance to feeling bad and when I did I was able to start moving up the scale one better feeling thought at a time.
