My Moods Are My Choice

By Leave a Comment

I have come to the conclusion that I don't have to feel bad – Ever….

And I can choose to feel bad whenever I choose.

I “choose” to feel bad whenever I run a pain producing story about what's happening in my life…

“My husband should tolerate and console me when I'm feeling down … if he doesn't it means he's not right for me”
… this is a thought stream that creates a certain feeling energy when I believe it … a distinct low frequency vibration that brings me unhappiness.
I notice the frequency and immediately meet it with open curiosity. Is it true?

What “babies” come from such thoughts? You know, what I mean by “baby” thoughts, right? These are thoughts that hatch out of more centralized core beliefs …. Thoughts like … “yeah, and if he doesn't, then he's not a good mate …” or “I don't have to put up with that… I deserve a mate who will love and support my moods … regardless of what they are!”

Such thoughts are a downward spiral into misery.

At least this is the way it looks to me.

When Life Events Dictate My Mood ….

By Leave a Comment

Here's another commonly shared idea …
“The more I heard about how much it was going to cost … the worse I felt.”

How do you feel and react when you tell yourself that your mood is determined by some outside factor, like a bill for your house or your car? Or your dentist or the children's education?

When our feelings are determined by external factors like high expenses or things breaking down etc …. when we believe our moods are externally created – that we are being forced into a low mood by the events of our life, then where does that leave us? So if it's a low bill, we get to feel good and if it's high … then I get to feel bad — this is what I call living in reaction. It places us on the victim triangle in the Victim position.

“My life circumstances dictate my emotional state, is that true?”
Examine such ideas closely … I have … and I cannot find good enough reason to believe it!
