An Emotion Tells All

 Emotions are a vital component of our being and help us navigate our inner and outer lives.  We really only have two emotions: one that feels good and one that feels bad. The one that feels good says "yes" to whatever you are doing or thinking, and the one that feels bad say "no"to whatever you are doing or thinking. 

We are all  hardwired for joy and success. This is why we feel such discomfort when things are not going the way we would prefer. If pain and misery were our natural states, then wouldn't we be content experiencing them?  Since they are not, we seek to experience more joy in our lives. 

We can learn powerful lessons from our emotions—even the negative ones. Our emotions help us to understand what we do or do not want. Learn to be aware of your emotions.  What are they trying to tell you? 

Each of us is born with an emotional guidance system. As a deliberate creator, you will use this emotional guidance system as you carefully consider 

“What do I really desire?”  

As you ponder this question, it can be helpful to simply notice what you do not want. Of course, you do not want to dwell on these things; however, approach them with a casual curiosity. Notice that thinking about things like not having enough money, being frustrated with a person close to you, or waiting in traffic tend to change the way you are feeling. You may notice some feelings of irritation or sadness. This is your emotional guidance system saying, “I do not want this.” Use this information to your advantage. 

Notice how your emotional guidance system responds to the thoughts you are thinking. 

What makes you feel more joyful?

What does not?

Often simply becoming aware of what we do not want can tell us much about its opposite–what we do want.
