How much time each day do you spend thinking about your feelings?

Not thinking about what you’re feeling…but thinking about what lessons might be waiting underneath to be unwrapped? 

Every emotion we experience is a gift, and it deserves acknowledgment. 

The challenge is to know when we’re ruminating on negativity, permit ourselves to feel it, and then…surrender and let it go.

Today on The Bridge to FulfillmentⓇ, Blake explains why feeding the negative allows the darkness to outweigh the light. In order to transform emotions into lessons, we have to make sure we don’t get stuck in a cycle of rumination. 

In this episode, you’ll hear a parable that will help you learn to identify which emotional wolf you’re feeding through the thoughts you’re giving space to. You’ll learn how to shift your perspective by acknowledging the challenges you’re experiencing, but instead of focusing on them, choosing to feed the things that give you life. 

What You’ll Learn:

• A Cherokee parable about life (0:47)

• What to know about the thoughts you let in (2:48)

• The truth about pushing away negative thoughts (4:08)

• Allowing space to acknowledge your emotions (5:48)

• What to do when you’re feeling discontent (8:36)

Favorite Quotes:

1. What you think about and what you focus on are perhaps the most important things on a day-to-day basis.

2. When we deny the dark wolf or the negative, we actually create more [negativity].

3. We can't avoid pain, anger, sorrow, or grief. But we can choose how we deal with it. We can choose to acknowledge how we feel and acknowledge our humanity.

4. Why do I feel this way? What is it teaching me? How can I be grateful for the feeling of discontent and the lesson and then surrender that and move back into a place of empowerment, ownership, and movement in the right direction?
