Thoughts & Feelings

Use your feelings as a guidance system. When you are feeling down or unsettled, take it as a warning from your body that what you are focusing on or experiencing is moving you away from your desire, which is to be happy. Something is trying to tell you that where you have placed your attention is causing you sadness so you need to change the experience. Most of us usually experience these feelings when we bring up thoughts from the past or sit in morbid reflection of something we lost. When we feel happy it is because we have placed our attention towards something that is serving us well, even if it is a thought of a fond memory in the past and we feel like we are on the right track in life. We can choose whether our memories empower us or whether they drain us of our energy due to how we process the information and how we feel about our past. So, making peace with our past is important if we are to move forward with a sense of freedom and empowerment. 

Freedom is the fruit that grows from releasing old and negative baggage. Whether that's letting go of past troubles and painful memories, changing our behaviours or moving away from unhealthy crowds and people. Happiness is freedom at its best and it can only be acquired when we let go of what is holding us back, usually our thoughts. Our thoughts are linked to feelings so if we change the way we think then we can, in turn, change the way that we feel and vice-versa. Once we start to make little changes we set the ball in motion for bigger changes to occur.

Our destination will never change unless we decide to make a turn.
