WOW... thanks for sharing in the comments section everyone! It's so inspiring to hear your stories and see how we are all gaining more awareness about how we're feeling throughout the day... and even catching ourselves in the middle of feeling bad and turning it around! It is not always as easy as it sounds to choose the better feeling thought.
Yesterday, I found myself telling an old story to my husband and mom in law over lunch. We took a small road trip to Palm Dessert together and it reminded me of a trip I took there with a friend years ago... and that reminded me of this friend who I haven't spoken to much since then... which reminded me of the wierd and abrupt end to our relationship which left me feeling bad. So funny how I could be happy and feeling great one minute and feeling some guilt in the next minute... with not one thing changing except my thoughts... and therefore my vibration.
The good news is... I was able to shrug the bad feeling off during lunch and then rambled (on paper) on the drive home until I felt a lot better :)
How many times do we all do that in a day? One thought leads to another which leads to another and before you know it, you're reliving something in your mind that you wish hadn't happened in the first place? For me it's too often... and it just gives me even more insentive to carry on deliberately with cleaning up my vibration.
I know that as we continue to focus on improving the thoughts we think and caring more about how we feel, the easier it gets to catch our train of thought sooner and steer it in a direction that feels much better... which in turn brings better feeling things into our lives!
I LOVE knowing that! How about you?

boy can i relate to feeling great one minute and then something happens and the mind takes off playing the old tapes...i was right up there on the emotional scale and i got an email that a business transaction didn't go thru...now, i had already decided that it wasn't the best "deal" for me, but hadn't shared this with the other person, then when i got the email that they rented from someone else, i did the spiral down thingy....so immediately i went to the chart you sent us and rambled on back up...and there went my vibration back up... YEA
ReplyDeletewhat i find so interesting is that insecurity is one spot up from the bottom..fear... now i find this very interesting as this is the feeling i tend to go to when i spiral.... maybe i am misusing that word and i am really more in the 10-12 bracket.... because i don't feel like i am at the "bottom",
have fun high vibration week
namaste,

I too can relate to one thought leading to another...and spiraling downward. And then, the negative thoughts in my mind bring on the headache. Trying to ramble on to move up on the scale of emotions, but having some trouble accomplishing that!

Darlene - I think sometimes we do misuse words to describe our emotions. Before I started focusing on how I feel ... I would describe myself as sometime fearful about the future or money, etc. But I don't think fear has ever been a strong active vibration in my being. I think it was actually more like worry than fear. Fear would be more like you can't focus on much else on the topic because you fear for your life or something. I'm not sure the words matter so much anyway... as long as you can find a thought that feels like relief :)
ReplyDeleteGail - what I've found useful when I'm experiencing pain in my body (or head) is to find something to focus on that I appreciate and bring myself to the feeling place of total appreciation. It is so amazing how the pain goes away (for me) when I get into a place of alignment. The sensation of pain (like your headaches) is just your body's way of letting you know that your cells are requesting the necessary energy to maintain wellbeing but your focus on what's not right is keeping you in a place of resistance and not allowing the requested energy in... hence the pain. Does that make sense?
