(Mariah Carey, "Emotions")
Whenever a negative thought comes up, notice how you feel about it. If you're like any other red-blooded human, negative thoughts feel yucky most of the time. Take note of whether or not this is a useful thought. "I look like crap," or "I'll never find a partner" are not useful thoughts because they aren't true. You don't look like crap and your partner is out there. But your repeating these thoughts do cement these concepts into reality.
We are taught to look at everything logically. But it is emotion that shapes this world the most. Logic is very useful and necessary in day to day life. Without logic, nothing would run effectively. But when you are looking to manifest, it is your emotion that creates reality. Reliving negative thoughts and feelings cements more negativity into your reality. That is just how it is, like attracts like.
Reach for the better feeling. No, you aren't running away from your problems. In fact, when you feel better it is easier to find solutions to your problems. God source does not want you feeling bad. God source wants you to care about how you feel to such an extent that you never let anyone or anything get in the way of your happiness.
Feeling bad does not keep more bad things from happening. But when we are feeling good and then something happens that is to our displeasure, we easily slip into the belief that if we feel good we invite catastrophe, the good feelings can only last for so long before something negative happens, and that by feeling bad about what is going on at least we can have more control. So not true.
Practice replacing negative feeling with positive feeling. It can be very annoying to be told to do this. If your car just got totaled, it would be hard to "think happy thoughts". But when you feel able, start creating positive emotion within you. Think of whatever gives you joy and KNOW that by thinking and feeling positive you are actually drawing more of it into your experience. But realize that if you have a lot of doubt that things will work out that you send mixed messages to the universe and thus may get a mixed bag of results.
Your emotions are powerful! Express them and know that you are in control of your feelings. They do not rule over you, they merely guide you. When you are feeling yucky, it is your soul's indicator that you are off course. Get on course by feeling good! You don't need to find a reason to feel good. Your reason is right there and always has been since birth. You were born to create and experience joy, so feel it!
That is the essence of being.
Joy.
Joy is the only reason you need to be joyful. Things do not have to be going well for you to allow yourself to feel good.
The moment you allow positive emotion in, the moment solutions begin flowing to you in a liquid stream of pure being, vitality, openness and clarity. Such is your divine right.
