Feel Better for Just 5 Minutes

I had a rough morning yesterday.  Had something come up that was pretty uncomfortable.  I was feeling extremely lost and felt like “What am I going to do?  This is horrible.  I am so overwhelmed, I don’t know when this is going to end”.  It was feeling like one thing after another was hitting me, and this subject has been, and was a biggie for me.

It was pretty uncomfortable.  I was trying to figure things out and decide what my next step should be.  I wasn’t coming up with much.  The more I thought about it the worse I felt.

I know how energy works.  I know that ‘thoughts are things’ and that ‘thoughts create’.  So this is what I did.  I am sharing it with you because it totally works.  It is NOT theory, it is not ‘try this and see if it helps’.  It WORKS.  It worked for me, it will work for you ~ you have to let it work for you though.  This is where that word “allowing” comes in when people are talking about the Law of Attraction.

You have to be willing to let go of your uncomfortable feelings.  If you want to justify your feelings; or say that you should be feeling badly, anyone would; or if you just prefer to feel like crap because that is your comfort zone; or if you are trying to punish someone else by feeling bad then this will not work for you.

This post is for all of you that really do want to feel better.  If you aren’t there yet, that’s fine, just know that when you are ready this WILL work for you.

Six Steps to 5 Minutes of Feeling Better

This is a list of what to do.  In blue it shows what/how I did it yesterday….

Recognize and acknowledge your feelings.  (I feel bad).  This part was pretty easy for me, I was in the middle of feeling it.

Think back to yesterday, or last week, or last year when you felt good.  Remember you were laughing and how good it felt?  I only had to remember the day before.  I was at the Women’s Show with some friends and we did a lot of visiting and laughing.

Think forward.  You have laughed before, do you honestly think (believe) that you will NEVER laugh again?  You may be very sad (or angry or resentful or whatever) right now, but if you think about it, there is a part of you that knows you will laugh again (you might even laugh 2 minutes from now if you hear a good enough joke).  I thought about it, and I knew that this feeling couldn’t last forever.  I knew that by Friday I would have had at least one opportunity to laugh (thinking that I would probably have many, but at the LEAST I would have a moment where I felt good again).

You need to acknowledge that thoughts are things and create your next moments.  This part was really easy for me because I have known and believed this my whole life. 

Think of something else for five minutes.  You don’t have to time it or anything.  Just involve your mind in something else.  Watch stupid cat videos on YouTube, or talk to a friend that makes you feel better (don’t talk to a friend that will help you wallow in your pain).  I can’t remember exactly what I did for 5 minutes yesterday.  I just got involved in some other work that took some of my attention away from what was concerning me. 

Reach out for advice from someone you trust.  In my case, I emailed my “trusted person” and asked if she had any advice on what to do with my ‘situation’.  (turns out she did, and it was really good).  This wasn’t instant though.  It took her a few hours to email me back.  If she had not had any advice for me, I would have still been fine.  It was the act asking a question of a professional that helped me feel better.  It helped me feel like I was doing something about it rather than just wallowing.

As soon as I did these steps I felt better.  I have felt better ever since and have not looked back.  All together I think I was only feeling badly for about 1.5 hours.  The ‘situation’ is still there.  It was there last week when I never knew about it.  It will be there probably for a few months yet.  It is NOT something I have any control over at all.

The trick is to recognize what you CAN do about something vs. what you CANNOT do about something, and do what you can, and forget the rest.

The Law of Attraction will bring you more of what you are focusing on, and where you are Energetically Vibrating.  I know this well enough that I don’t let myself wallow in pain.  I don’t ignore things that need my attention ~ ever, that just makes it worse. However, I can tell the difference between something that needs my attention and something that is grabbing my attention because of how I am feeling.

For those of you that might think this is easier for me than for the ‘average person’, the reason I wrote this blog post is because I was talking to a friend last night that was feeling very badly and was crying.  I recognize that her ‘situation’ is a little harder than mine, and might (or might not) take a bit longer to resolve completely.

I shared with her what I did automatically for myself earlier in the day.  Her and I were laughing on the phone.  When I first called her, she was crying.  She is going through something tough, but I shared with her that it would be helpful to try and have as many “5 Minutes of Feeling Better” as she could.  I know she felt better for at least 5 minutes last night (maybe even longer), and that is a start.

This is not always an instant cure, but it is always helpful in getting you through a difficult time.  All we ever have is this moment we are in now.  Try feeling good for 5 minutes in your now moment.  Repeat.
