A short post about how feelings effect ourselves and the world around us.
Feelings play a major role in our lives. They are what can drive us and what can derail us.
I’m speaking from personal experience when I say, if you never check your feelings you’ll keep on the path you’ve always been on.
For years I was angry with my husband. I would constantly think negatively about our marriage but always in a prideful way. “Why isn’t he doing this?” Why is he like that!” “I’m trying hard and he isn’t!”
But it wasn’t until I started changing ME that our marriage took a turn for the better. And it’s not because some wonderful miracle happened and my husband started doing all the things I’ve been begging for. It was because I changed my thoughts and my feelings.
It’s because I worked on ME instead of him. I changed my thoughts about me, him, our marriage and life in general.
Yes, life is hard and there are sooo many things we can be negative about. So many things we can look at and ask why, but that doesn’t change what’s happening. That doesn’t necessarily fix anything.
But once we actually do the hard stuff and look within and feel every yucky and icky feeling, that’s when change starts happening. That’s when we can start to see the world and our lives in a better light.
As we head towards Easter and we reflect on the death and resurrection of Jesus. Remember, He came to SAVE us from all the sin of this world. Our yucky feelings that we keep buried inside of us and don’t process and feel and let go are part of the sin that Jesus conquered.
You don’t have to let it own you any longer. Feel it, understand what it is and then give it to God. He will take and help you change from the inside out.
Life can be so much more than anger and jealousy and frustration. But all of those feelings need to be uprooted and throwing out first.
If you need guidance or encouragement to do this in your life, please feel free to message me. I’d love to help you in any way I can.
