Live Your Life Through The Lens Of Someone In Love

What we constantly think of is to make ourselves feel bad, defeat ourselves by believing our poor thoughts and actions. We ruminate over an embarrassing moment that happened a week ago. We beat ourselves up by saying one thing, then doing another.

As we worry about the future, what we’re doing is harming our ability to live a full life today. We believe the mistakes we make, will just carry over to tomorrow.

What if, instead, we decide to ask ourselves, “How much better can I make myself feel at this moment?”

What’s known, is our brains are just as adept at making us feel better, as it is making us feel worse about ourselves.

For many of us, what we tend to think are negative thoughts by default, even though we know happy fun thoughts significantly makes us feel better.

Close your eyes and intentionally frown. Think of a time you were upset about yourself and the world, and recall how mad you were.

Notice the sounds you hear, how bleak the colours are, how the environment reflects how upset you’re feeling. Soak in these negative thoughts.

Now let that feeling go. Do so by physically shaking your hands and your head, chase away that upset feeling. Stand up and walk around, make sure those bad feelings are gone.

Smile And The World Will…

Now close your eyes again and intentionally smile. Recall a recent time when you felt happy. Take a few deep breaths into your upper chest, and relive that good feeling.

Once you’re feeling happy, open your eyes and take a good look around again, take note if your surroundings look any different.

What most find is that their environment reflects the emotional state they’re feeling. When upset, the world looks drab, it appears doom and gloom.

What thinking happy thoughts does, is makes the world a brighter more brilliant place with cheerier voices, vivid pleasant sights and pretty smells everywhere.

Grasp this opportunity to enjoy that feeling of love and lock it in, even if you’ve never experienced it.

Reenact or “pretend” this glorious feeling of bliss. Vividly visualize their face, their voice, that glare, that touch. Recall a specific place, or a song when you first met, that reminds you of these feelings.

To Relive Love

It may initially start slow at first, but once you commit to imagining the sensory details of a time you were in love, what you’ll discover are two things:

• The more you dwell on them, the more vivid the details will come streaming back to you, supplied by your imagination
• You’ll discover how relaxed and expanded you feel, once fantasizing these thoughts

Feeling this is infinitely better than worrying about everything.

What you need is to pursue and flush out all your worry circuits, locate them and chase them out, to allow room for your loving thoughts.

These loving thoughts also don’t need to be real or sentimental, they just need to be happy thoughts and feelings, the more happier and robust, the better.
