The Desire To Feel Good - Is It Wrong?
Something that came up in a recent group Zoom meeting…
Wanting to feel good or happy.
The desire to feel good or experience happiness - does this mean we are resisting ourselves being in a state of non-happiness?
Not necessarily. The pure desire itself contains no resistance. It is like being offered a plate of garbage or a plate of your favourite food. You have the option to choose what you want without pushing against what you don't want. You have a natural preference for something that is in alignment with who you are.
Often when people are experiencing negative emotions, there can be so much resistance and a sense of "not being in control", that the desire to feel better can create even more of a pushing against yourself and not allowing yourself to be as you are.
At a certain point, if you are no longer judging or condemning yourself for feeling less than good, then gradually resistance begins to ease. When there is less resistance, it is more easy to allow yourself to be tuned to a sense of well-being, wholeness, satisfaction or happiness, as if you are choosing, inviting, or making friends with that energy within you.
The Priority Of Alignment and Inner Peace
Usually our natural desire for happiness becomes outweighed by our desire for other things. Feeling good is often taught as complacency or irresponsibility, as if you must put your inner well being on hold before everything is as you want it to be.
When the desire to be in alignment or to feel good becomes more important than everything else being perfect, then it will begin to build a momentum of its own and become more and more pure. If it becomes consistent, it begins to influence your world for the better.
