How to feel better

First, let me give you a brief introduction: I talk and write a lot about the importance of not rejecting and ignoring my unpleasant emotions in my work and my blogs. In fact, everything I do is based on this elementary principle – including my own life.

However, I am not in favour of digging indefinitely into unpleasant emotions. And not at all that we think about what could have caused them, why it was so, and so on. I consider it a waste of energy.

It makes sense to me to follow my joy and pay unconditional attention and acceptance to every demanding emotion only for as long as necessary. And after healing it, to follow my joy again.

I considered this introduction important because I am going to write about amplifying positive emotions.” And since I also consider unpleasant emotions essential, I do not want you to get the impression from the following lines that you only need to focus on positive emotions and sweep the others under the rug. No way.

But let’s look at how to feel better. I do not mean the relief that various activities can bring us by distracting attention from how we actually feel. I mean authentically pleasant feelings that come from within us, regardless of external circumstances.

The procedure is based on the Completion Process created by Teal Swan, which I have been using for many years, and I am happy to pass it on to all the people I work with.

Let’s do this.

Let’s say that a delightful, uplifting feeling suddenly hits me. It doesn’t matter at all how would I name it. All I have to do is find a quiet place where no one will disturb me. I will sit comfortably, close my eyes and fully immerse myself in that pleasant feeling. As if I wanted to allow it to be as intense as possible.

I will focus all my attention only on that feeling and on the part of ​​my body where I feel it. Whatever thoughts may occur, I ignore them. I will pay all my attention to that uplifting feeling. I will let myself be absorbed by it.

And when I am most intensely connected to that emotion, I ask it when I felt it for the first time. And then just wait for what comes up. I don’t try to hunt in memory and remember – that wouldn’t be an accurate answer. I’ll wait for what my inner intelligence has to offer. Maybe it will just be a sensation with the same emotion. Or perhaps it will be a situation from my childhood.

Let’s say I have a memory of my childish self walking through a meadow. That little girl feels like a princess as if the whole world belongs to her. I watch her for a while, and I can feel how happy she is inside. Then I move my consciousness into that girl. I will suddenly become her. And I enjoy her feelings to the fullest as long as I want. And I can even feel a healing effect of that pleasant emotion in every cell of my body.

And when it seems to me that I have enjoyed that pleasant emotion enough, I try to intensify that nice feeling even more. In my case, my child self decided that fairies and angels could improve it. And so my child self imagines that they are there. The joy I experience in the skin of a small child is much more intense than the original. And so, I allow myself to surrender to that intensified emotion for as long as I want. Then, when I fully enjoy it, I withdraw my consciousness from my younger self and imagine how my younger version merges with me. If she doesn’t want to merge, I can imagine how he gives me that wonderful feeling of joy. And then I take a few minutes to embody that new feeling.

And that is all. Try it. I believe that you will find it helpful, especially nowadays. I wish you good luck and true joy.
