HOW TO CHANGE THE WAY I FEEL<\/p>\n
Reality is entirely based upon our interpretation of it.<\/p>\n
Once we are locked in our understanding, we have no choice but to see only what we see.<\/p>\n
The bad news is that it’s the interpretation that causes us the anxiety not the actual thing that happened.<\/p>\n
The good news is that we CAN change what we think, feel and do.<\/p>\n
Life in itself has no meaning, it only has the meaning we choose to assign to it.<\/p>\n
“Life is hard, life is beautiful “- our interpretation –<\/p>\n
Here’s a tool you can use: the moment you catch yourself interpreting anything ask yourself these 4 questions:<\/p>\n
1- Is it true?
\nCan I be 100% certain that my interpretation is true?<\/p>\n
2- Does my interpretation make me happy or sad?<\/p>\n
3- How else can I see this situation?<\/p>\n
4 – which one will I choose?<\/p>\n
In essence, we are asking the mind to expand itself, so we can begin to embrace other possibilities.<\/p>\n
Once we see the situation, place, or person differently, generally the new interpretation will make us feel better.<\/p>\n
Then we can ask ourselves: do I want to go with the old interpretation that caused me stress or do I want to go with the new interpretation?<\/p>\n
Do I want to walk around angry blaming the whole world for the way I feel?<\/p>\n
It may seem odd at first, because we have been thinking the same way, sometimes, even for decades …<\/p>\n
However, holding grudges and feeling badly about anything is not conducive to having a happy and fulfilling life.<\/p>\n
