You know how it feels to laugh so hard you cry? To fall into a fit of laughter so deep, you can barely stop to breathe before the next fit comes ‘round?
You know how it feels when you do something you’re really proud of?
Like speaking your truth, having the hard convo, completing something you started, making something you absolutely love, etc.?
You know how it feels to buy something you’ve been saving up for?
To be able to walk into that store or go to that website, pick out exactly what you want, and then pay for it, cash?
That’s the same way it feels to receive the things you desire that you don’t have right now. That’s exactly it.
You feel happy and at peace and so fucking good. You feel joyful and expansive and a sense of knowing that this is what life is meant to feel like and be like for you.
You have to feel those feelings to bring the things you don’t currently have into your life, because those are the feelings you would feel if you did have what you want. You have to feel them in the now, before you actually have the thing you want.
One way to do that is to recreate those same feelings every day through mediation, visualization and other feel-good tools.
Another is to go back to old memories where you felt all of those things before—times when you laughed so hard, you cried; times when you were so happy and proud of yourself; times when you were in love, feeling good, enjoying the hell out of your life. And as those feelings return to you while you’re thinking about those old memories, feel them again, deeply, as if it’s happening right now.
Another way is to pay attention as you go through your day, noticing moments where those feelings come up for you, and when you notice them, milk it. Milk it for all it’s worth. Stay in that moment, that feeling, that energy, for as long as you possibly can.
It really doesn’t matter how you create those good feelings inside yourself every day—it may even look different each day.
What matters is that you do it every day. In some way, shape or form.
Those feelings are your key to having what you want show up in your reality.
‘Cause feeling good is the point and the path.
