The feeling matters

The vibe, the intent, the ambience, the energy … however you want to phrase it, the feeling matters.

Please don’t hear that as the thoughts and words don’t, as they really do, there’s an interplay … a dance if you like … where it’s more effective, enjoyable to experience and beautiful to watch when the feeling takes the lead.

OK, let me back up a bit.

If you’re not always sure of what you are feeling please know that this can be completely normal. Also, be onto yourself to see if that is really true. If you sense or experience a situation that feels ‘off’ to you, that something is not quite right, feels uncomfortable, makes you fidgety, that you want to distract yourself with something else then these are all indications that taking a closer look would be valuable to you. Equally if something is at the other end of the ‘stick’ (I love a bit of high-tech jargon!) and feels great, amazing, joyful, time flies by it’s also worth taking notice of.

With that said ‘feeling the feels’ is a very valuable life skill that anyone can learn, even if you don’t think in this moment that it’s possible for you.

So, why does the feeling matter?

Because it’s the power behind a thought, the words, an action (or non-action).For example if the words on their own could be described as ‘kind’, yet the feeling behind them is resentment that’s how they will be put out into the world. Think of that moment when you’ve said “Yes, I’d be happy to help you with that” when actually it’s going to be really tricky to fit into your schedule, the last time you did they didn’t even say ‘thank you’, or it always seems like a one-way street on the support front with this person. The experience, and results, are very different when “Yes, I’d be happy to help you with that” comes from a feeling of loving to help, of giving support, or a desire to create value.

Or maybe you are doing something new in your business or your personal life and the feeling you have is lack, any ‘positive’ thinking, strategizing, planning or action taken from this feeling will be less effective. It can also be very tiring. Then there’s the feedback loop where not getting the results you want creates an ever bigger feeling of lack.

Please know that not feeling ready, able, capable or having the money or time can be completely normal. As can the opposite. Either way it's about you first, which could be saying "Yes", "No" or "Maybe" to us working together. All can be equally valuable when they come from feeling on purpose ... which really will create your world.
