The Importance of Feeling Good

Universal Laws & Feel-Good-Fluff Add comments

When you are feeling good, you are engaging with your desires and doing what resonates with you at the moment. Perhaps you’re not consciously thinking of what you’re doing, but you’re just going with it and doing what you feel naturally inspired to do. If you’re playing a game, or writing an article, or swimming a lap, there is no pressure; you are relaxed and all senses are attuned to what’s going on around you. This describes the state of being in flow. Flow implies allowing; for something to flow, resistance is absent.

Excuse the fluffy language for a paragraph: When you are feeling good, you are in harmony and in flow, allowing the current of source energy to flow through you. To the extent that you allow the current to express itself through you, you become more like the current. You are being what you really are, and allowing experiences into your life that are beyond the limitations of your individual thinking. The larger picture within which you exist knows way more about you than you know from your individual perspective as a conscious being participating in this physical dimension.

Good Feelings = Inner and Outer Congruency

I don’t care how new-agey this sounds, but feeling good is the most important consideration I make when deciding what to do. When I feel good, I know that my thoughts and emotions and actions and words and whatever other parts of me there are, are congruent with what’s true for me and my highest unspoken intentions for ‘this to be beneficial for the highest good of all’.

When I feel good, I am more confident, easily influence people by my example, believe in my abilities and goals, provide genuine service, play and inject life into my actions, and am overall more productive and enjoyable to be around.

Feeling Good is an Indicator of Successful Living

I also don’t care how impractical this sounds, but feeling good is an indicator of success. Okay, that sounds obvious, “Of course if I’m successful, I’m going to feel great about it!”

True. And I’m suggesting that letting yourself feel good about it *before* you see the results — in anticipation of the desired results, makes the allowing part of the manifestation equation (the part where you make yourself into a vibrational match for your goal/vision/intention) that much sweeter. You enjoy what you do, knowing who you’re becoming by your actions and what circumstances you’re shaping and allowing into your life.

Feeling good is a sign that your actions are aligned with your values, and with this alignment in place, your aims are sure to materialize because you’re taking purposeful, inspired action in the way that comes naturally to you. No matter the seeming obstacles, you’ll persist until you succeed in living your vision because your vision is just who you are.

The moment you make up your mind to be something, you have changed your point of attraction. Now enjoy the experience that the world offers as a match to who you are. =) Feeling good, deeply good about who you are and what you do, gets real results. What is more practical than that?

I find that when I am reminded of how the world works and what the true nature of reality is, I am energized and ready to commit myself to my goal. That, or I stop thinking about it and go dance for awhile in front of the mirror, or go for a bike ride, or read some blogs that resonate with me; doing anything that gives me a good feeling is a step in the right direction.

My favourite way of reminding myself of the nature of the universe is to listen to Abraham-Hicks audio books. Even if it all turns out to be a cult in the end, I love their style of communicating and I get noticeable results by my improved mindset and expectant attitude that I am getting what I want in good time — thus my patient display of calm knowingness, haha. Results! What more evidence of their authentic message is there?

If it works, there’s something to it, wouldn’t you agree? As Steve Pavlina mentions, if you live according to an inaccurate set of assumptions about the universe, odds are you’re going to get poor results. If your assumptions about the way the world works are accurate, then you’re going to get consistent results. The Science of Deliberate Creating. Works for me.

On that note, here’s an excerpt from Abraham-Hicks’ latest book, The Astonishing Power of Emotions:

“Allowing yourself to become what life has caused you to desire is not about action. It is about the aligning of thought energies.”

It’s not what you are doing that makes the difference. Rather, it’s how you are feeling about what you are doing.

“When you are no longer paddling against the Current—when you release your oars and relax into your own natural Well-Being—the Current, which is ever moving in the direction of that which you have become and all that you want, will carry you toward your desires.”

And a list of helpful corresponding affirmations for good measure:
