Move Your Emotions Up A Class!

Have you ever made yourself feel bad just by having a single thought?

Perhaps a traumatic memory?
Maybe the memory of a conversation you had long ago, or something someone said to you?
A time when someone didn't like you?
A time when you felt not good enough?

The list is probably endless.

Or, if none of those affect you, imagine walking down a dark alley late and night, and hearing strange footsteps behind you. Or imagine you are lying in bed, and a snake slithers in. Or remember a time when you were having a magnificent meal with family and friends, and then you crunch down on something, and discover you've bitten into maggots.

If you are like most people, at least one or more of those caused you to experience a bad feeling.

The thing to note here is - NONE OF IT IS REAL - IT IS NOT HAPPENING RIGHT NOW.

You merely had a thought, and that thought created a bad result.

If it's possible to make yourself feel bad in an instant, with a single thought, do you think it might be possible to make yourself feel good with a single thought?

You bet, Obi Wan Kenobi! May the force be with you!

In all probability, you are already a master at using the force, but for the dark side!

On a recent flight back from Japan, I was asked at check-in if it would be okay for me to be upgraded to Business Class because the flight was very full. Okay? Very OK!

I got entrance to the lounge, and a lay flat bed on the plane, very nice indeed :) I think I might have even got a few hours sleep.

I decided to experiment with having the thought of being upgraded, and each time with the same result - a flood of positive emotions.

Which would you rather have, for expending the same amount of effort - a flood of negative or positive emotions?

So all you have to do is think of a real, or imagined, scenario that floods you with positive emotions, and bump your emotions up a class.

To your success,
