Dealing with Your Wrong Emotions Right

Book 4: The Bridge of Offerings | Chapter 4.4 | 17 November 2021

If something feels good, it's because it is good, and you should pursue more of it.
If something feels bad, it's because it is bad, and you should move onto something else immediately.

Simple, right?

Unfortunately, no, it's not that simple. Nothing ever is.

One problematic example is the relationship between nervousness and excitement. They are first cousins! Nervousness is oft considered a negative emotion due to its unpleasantness. However, that perception is usually an outdated survival mechanism to warn against the abandonment of your comfort zone and must be analysed or even embraced rather than shunned.

Fear alone is never a valid excuse to avoid a decision. If a choice scares you, it might indicate an opportunity to evolve into an improved version of yourself. Nervousness frequently suggests you're on the right path to High-Quality Conflict and you're about to level up. When you act despite nervousness, that's a clear sign of bravery.

Again, as with any of our emotional guidance, recalibrate using a long-term viewpoint. Pause to gauge whether the reward is worth the risk. If your intentions live within your moral scope, and you know you will be proud of yourself for taking the leap, then the outcome is irrelevant. If you do not jump, you will regret it. If you do jump, you can forever look back at your choices in peace. But please don't forget that the Universe may opt to return a hardball. Always be willing to accept those consequences.

Another perplexing emotion is anger. Here is your Internal Universe stating it doesn't like something so loudly that it is pouring fuel onto your fire and provoking your energy to explode in a direction with tremendous charge. As you've experienced, this wild eruption can be dangerous because that red hue blinds us, causing our actions to become careless. And as you're out swinging at feverish speeds, the Universe will react. Perhaps it may rise to meet you with fury of its own, generating conflict so extreme that it damages everyone in proximity. Or maybe it will yield to your temper and learn to evade you for the sake of its growth. Either result is undesirable, as both stem from an irrational you, drowning in resistance and egotism while force-feeding further frustrations into your reality.

Our recommendation has not changed. The faster you get at catching that initial flare, the firmer control you will earn over your conditions. And if you can seize that hesitation, anger transforms into an immensely valuable starting point from which to play. There's a ton of energy in there! Channel it towards the polar-opposite of your immediate situation—what you do want rather than what you don't want; solution above the problem—and then you can generate the most powerful emotion of them all: passion.

There is no circumstance or emotional reaction that one can't overcome using the proposed approach. When a negative feeling threatens your day, do not suppress it. Look at it, recognise it, greet it, hello. Ask the vibration what it is so concerned about. What would make it feel better? Then turn to focus the vibrational response in that direction, finding almost instant relief in the proactive resolution-based mental shift.

Once the switch becomes automated, you can have fun with it, exploiting each card played by the Cosmos for your gain. When Life hands you lemons, make lemonade, sell the lemonade, and use the profits to build a lemonade empire. Get creative with it. Let pain inspire your artistic masterpiece. Let loss encourage an improved replacement. Let harsh words write comedy routines. Let injury spark new fashion accessories. Let trauma author a novel. Let your unfavourable experience favourably teach others. If you believe that your turmoil is too dire a material for motivation, then you are 100% correct. If you believe you can milk your turmoil to profit your existence and enhance the lives around you, then you are 100% correct.

That said, sometimes Life may deal conflict so heavy that you will be well and truly stuck. All this means is that the best move is not immediately available to you. Make peace with your position. Appreciate this enforced break and practice thoughts of spiritual awareness to master the art of letting go. At the same time, never give up on hope. Remember that you can always find joy in your mind via daydreams and optimistic predictions. Keep your eye on every potential escape route until one manifests, and then you can zip away to higher planes on a wave of exhilaration so fast that nobody even noticed your knowing smirk before you were gone.
