Does Feeling Good Mean I Am Resisting Feeling Bad?
During Group Zoom Meetings the question has come up a few times:
If we are actually choosing to feel good or happy instead of feeling negative in any way, are we not resisting the negativity in order to feel better? Is there not some kind of conflict within us if we want or choose to feel happy?
At first, when there is a lot of habitual negativity or resistance in the system, the natural desire for happiness is combined with a sense of pushing against the feelings we don’t want. The desire to feel good is a natural preference that leans in the direction of alignment and a sense of oneness with your own power, but negativity does not need to be resisted to go with it.
Gradually as you end the war with yourself, as you stop fighting or condemning yourself or your feelings in any way, there can be a natural space that allows for the question:
“How does happiness feel?”
The less resistance there is in the mind, the easier it is for this question and its answer to be allowed. The mind can sometimes be quick to give you reasons to remain in tension or negativity or worry, and the above question can quickly feel uncomfortable. Treat it like a game. It can be a process.
I will share more on this later. In a recent Zoom call someone shared that they were realising that it is okay to feel good, that there is nothing wrong with it. Then I shared a few thoughts which you can watch in a quick video below.
