Esther and Jerry Hicks wrote,
“Begin telling the story of your desire and then add it to the details of the positive aspects that you can find that match those desires. And then embellish your positive expectation or speculating with your good feeling Wouldn’t it be nice if…? examples.
You can say things like: Only good things come to me and I’ll figure it out as I go along… Every time you tell your better-feeling story, you will feel better, and the details of your life will improve.
The better it gets, the better it gets.”
It is in our human nature to question how we keep a better-feeling story while staying true to our feelings as they are.
We are not constantly feeling:
positive,
motivated, or
inspired
. And that is okay.
When we practice turning toward our feelings...
without resistance or judgment
AND
with loving kindness,
we grow a capacity to...
host our feelings like traveling guests
WHILE
remaining aware of a much larger perspective we can never fully know.
Mark Twain wrote, “My life has been filled with terrible misfortune, most of which have never happened.”
So, for example, when fear arises within us, we can name it as fear, something we know well, and as we acknowledge it and practice awareness and naming it,
it will begin losing its power over us.
It becomes a friend,
and even a helper,
rather than an enemy.
And then, in place of jumping to the worst-case scenario, we begin telling ourself a new story. We might say...
This is good because I am simply releasing an old story
AND
I will figure it out as I go along.
The better it gets, the better it gets.
