On this day I listened to Joan’s blog radio talk show with Jeanie Marshall. I mentioned her guided meditations before. They are very nice. I let Jeanie know through Twitter that I really liked the show and her meditations. She later on send me a direct message letting me know that she enjoyed tweeting with me directly… such a nice person.
The thing that I really liked about the show was her advice on dealing with not-good feelings. Instead of calling them bad, she prefers calling them not-good. I agree that not-good sounds a lot better.
The method she recommends is something that anyone could do. Whenever you feel not-good, you ask yourself “How do I want to feel?”. Of course you would rather feel good. Although some people seem to thrive on not feeling good and complaining. I think I used to be like that, until I became aware of it.
The moment I started “listening” to my mind “chatter” I noticed I wasn’t as positive as I used to think. It was an eyeopener for me that day.
Anyway to get back to what Jeanie said. So Joan asked her how do you change your feelings from not-good to good or whatever feeling you’d like to feel, like satisfied or happy. What you can do is plan ahead. That just means that whenever you become aware of being in a certain emotional state you can use something you’ve decided on using when you did feel good to make you feel good again. Like an image in your mind that brings you joy or photographs of beautiful places you’ve been and that made you feel good.
This sounds very logical to me and I’m definitely going to be doing that. I think that it’s even easier for me to do now, because of the clearing of limiting beliefs I’ve been doing with BSFF.
By the way should you want to listen to any of the shows on Joan’s Blog Talk Radio Show, I added a link on the right hand navigation part.
Please let me know what you think of the show…
