What Do You Really Want




On a recent school day morning, my daughter and I were beginning to slip down that 藴slippery slope鈩?into an unnecessary argument. Fortunately, I was able to pause and stop myself (generally the most challenging part!), and thought wait a minute, what is it I actually wanting right now?





The answer was I wanted a peaceful morning and a loving send off with my child, and this image definitely does not include arguing before she goes off to school. However, I did want her to understand what I was saying. That it. Nothing complicated. Just simple understanding. As soon as I dropped my defenses and stopped reacting to her reactions (how much sense does that make anyhow?), and remembered what I really wanted (the first step to the Law of Attraction!), everything changed.





My voice and posture softened, I explained to her what I wanted was for her to understand, she got the energy completely shifted from tension to peace, and off she went to school happy as a lark.





It so easy sometimes to get caught up in what going on in front of us and forget that our emotions are our essential guide to what we creating.





Once we remember to stop and check in Does this feel good? Is this what I want or am I focused on what I don want?





Checking in with yourself and finding clarity allows us to make the shift to focusing on what we do want and that changes our emotions so we can start creating what we do want.





The more conscious we can become of how we feeling at any point in time, the easier it is to change it for the better, or at the very least, simply accept it so you can feel some emotional relief instead of resistance.





I had a client tell me today that sometimes he just wanted to wallow in feeling bad, but that as soon as he did, he started feeling guilty about it, because he didn think he should feel that way. Guess what? That resistance.





I asked him what he thought would happen if he just gave himself permission to feel bad and let that be okay, since it next to impossible to change anything when we feeling resistance.





He said, would probably stop feeling bad because I wouldn be fighting it. Ahhhh, the sound of emotional relief.





Acceptance lets you move right out of what you were feeling bad about as soon as you give yourself permission to feel it. It kind of a strange thing, but the more we resist our feelings and make ourselves wrong for feeling this or that way, the more our emotional self fights to hang on to them like a two year old having a tantrum!
