Well done, you.

 Look after your own well-being by giving yourself some positive feedback. Think back over the day. What did you say that you really liked? What did you say that really mattered? It may have been open and honest, it may have been kind, or it may have been thoughtful. You may have made a comment that really connected with someone else, or that gave them some positive feedback, or that caused them to feel good. What did you do that was positive and really mattered? You may have shown consideration on the road. You may have offered someone some help, you may have smiled at someone, or shown appreciation. Well done, you.

Isn’t it interesting how emotions pop up unexpectedly. Someone pushes our “buttons” and suddenly the feeling is here. Where do the emotions come from? Emotions from the past are stored in our body. And a word, a tone of voice, a smell, a sight, a sound, a thought can trigger them.  We are so used to thinking that emotions, mind and body are separate. Whereas they aren’t. We make such a story about how we feel and blame the circumstances or someone else. How about just feeling and letting go – there does not have to be a reason or a story. You will feel so much freer
