Relax into feeling good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For me, relaxing and being in my body was always difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have trouble relaxing and feeling safe in your body, place your hand on your heart and breath deeply three times, and say it is safe to choose to be in my body, I relax into my body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow yourself to feel the tension release from all your muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Breathe again, and keep repeating statements of safety in your body until you feel comfortable relaxing into a feeling good sensation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\u2019s no right way to feel good, it\u2019s just a way of being, you\u2019ll know what it feels like when you\u2019re in this feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3. Believe it\u2019s easy to feel good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s easy to doubt that feeling good is easy! But it\u2019s harder to believe that is hard to feel good! Why? Because your ego doesn\u2019t want you to release it\u2019s manipulative grip on you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Choose to believe feeling good comes naturally to you, and it will be easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may be wondering what a belief is, if you\u2019ve read my previous work, I applaud you for having this question! We\u2019ll be discussing philosophy as a practice later this month!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abraham Hicks say that a belief is a thought that you continue to think, or a pattern of continuous thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will never have enough money to be free. I am always stuck in a bad mood. It\u2019s hard to change my mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an example of a thought pattern, in which your mind is telling you false beliefs based on a bad experience, trauma, or a wounded child holding onto something that caused your fight or flight response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In order to heal where this negative pattern comes from, it\u2019s necessary to uncover and release the pain held inside it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are more processes for the wounded child, as this is a large part of the healing process and can take a significant amount of focused attention to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4. Be open to feeling good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Openness is vital to the feeling of positivity, happiness, and joy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Picture meeting the perfect person, could be a friend or romantic partner, but either way they are your ideal person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You walk up to this person, and their first glance is a side eye that looks you up and down, you can sense how closed off their vibe is and your reaction becomes more toned down than it would have been, if they had smiled at you without glancing up and down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is their vibrational openness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your vibration is not open to a higher level, the level of love, joy, fun, and happiness, then you will feel repelled by people who have this vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s also where comparison is considered, if you\u2019re judging yourself to what others are doing, you\u2019re not at your highest vibration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of our thoughts are patterns developed when we are young, and repeating them throughout adulthood makes it harder to let go of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider this a spring cleaning for your mindset, thoughts, and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Allow, relax, and believe that feeling good is easy, and openness to new perspectives comes naturally to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">5. Feeling good benefits you, as well as for others! Once the first four steps are natural to you, it\u2019s a lot easier to practice feeling good consistently, and then it becomes contagious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The more you feel good about yourself, your life, and everything you have to offer the world, the more others around you will begin to feel good as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The trick is not to get stumped when someone else is feeling negative!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consider yourself a fortress of positude, similar to solitude, except you do everything you can to maintain your personal positivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Write out how you are feeling can also help to raise your vibration, follow the method of statements, and increasing the ease of your language.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Remember\u2026<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start slow, one step at a time. If you\u2019re working yourself out of a pit of negative thinking, start by writing a list of activities that bring you joy!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then follow the steps above and try the processes within them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I\u2019m excited to write daily for the whole month of May!

Every time I write a more positive statement, it\u2019s easier for me to continue, as well as move toward a better feeling statement. 2. Relax into feeling good! For me, relaxing and being in my body was always difficult. If you have trouble relaxing and feeling safe in your body, place your hand on your heart and breath deeply three times, and say it is safe to choose to be in my body, I relax into my body. Allow yourself to feel the tension release from all your muscles. Breathe again, and keep repeating statements of safety in your body until you feel comfortable relaxing into a feeling good sensation. There\u2019s no right way to feel good, it\u2019s just a way of being, you\u2019ll know what it feels like when you\u2019re in this feeling. 3. Believe it\u2019s easy to feel good! It\u2019s easy to doubt that feeling good is easy! But it\u2019s harder to believe that is hard to feel good! Why? Because your ego doesn\u2019t want you to release it\u2019s manipulative grip on you! Choose to believe feeling good comes naturally to you, and it will be easy. You may be wondering what a belief is, if you\u2019ve read my previous work, I applaud you for having this question! We\u2019ll be discussing philosophy as a practice later this month! Abraham Hicks say that a belief is a thought that you continue to think, or a pattern of continuous thought. I will never have enough money to be free. I am always stuck in a bad mood. It\u2019s hard to change my mood. This is an example of a thought pattern, in which your mind is telling you false beliefs based on a bad experience, trauma, or a wounded child holding onto something that caused your fight or flight response. In order to heal where this negative pattern comes from, it\u2019s necessary to uncover and release the pain held inside it. There are more processes for the wounded child, as this is a large part of the healing process and can take a significant amount of focused attention to heal. 4. Be open to feeling good! Openness is vital to the feeling of positivity, happiness, and joy. Picture meeting the perfect person, could be a friend or romantic partner, but either way they are your ideal person. You walk up to this person, and their first glance is a side eye that looks you up and down, you can sense how closed off their vibe is and your reaction becomes more toned down than it would have been, if they had smiled at you without glancing up and down. This is their vibrational openness. If your vibration is not open to a higher level, the level of love, joy, fun, and happiness, then you will feel repelled by people who have this vibration. It\u2019s also where comparison is considered, if you\u2019re judging yourself to what others are doing, you\u2019re not at your highest vibration. A lot of our thoughts are patterns developed when we are young, and repeating them throughout adulthood makes it harder to let go of them. Consider this a spring cleaning for your mindset, thoughts, and beliefs. Allow, relax, and believe that feeling good is easy, and openness to new perspectives comes naturally to you. 5. Feeling good benefits you, as well as for others! Once the first four steps are natural to you, it\u2019s a lot easier to practice feeling good consistently, and then it becomes contagious! The more you feel good about yourself, your life, and everything you have to offer the world, the more others around you will begin to feel good as well. The trick is not to get stumped when someone else is feeling negative! Consider yourself a fortress of positude, similar to solitude, except you do everything you can to maintain your personal positivity. Write out how you are feeling can also help to raise your vibration, follow the method of statements, and increasing the ease of your language. Remember\u2026 Start slow, one step at a time. If you\u2019re working yourself out of a pit of negative thinking, start by writing a list of activities that bring you joy! Then follow the steps above and try the processes within them. I\u2019m excited to write daily for the whole month of May! I\u2019m considering it a challenge to see how much I can blossom as a writer, and use my voice for love and wisdom (philosophy) this month! I call it wildflower may because I\u2019m obsessed with flowers, floral print, and everything colourful and pretty this time of year. Hope you enjoyed this!
