The Only Thing that Really Matters is…Feeling Good!

Lisa Lewis

Did you know that your body is a very powerful guidance system that helps you understand whether your thoughts and actions are serving you or sabotaging you? It’s true!

You can gain incredible insight, if you simply stop and listen to what your body is telling you about a situation. Do you feel good or bad, joyful or confused, sure-footed or anxious?

Beliefs and Thoughts Influence Your Life

In this series of articles, we’re exploring how our beliefs and thoughts influence the decisions we make in our life. I started out on this journey as a way to lose weight permanently.

Not only did I lose weight, but I discovered that everything I learned had a larger impact on helping me to live my life in a more powerful and joyful way. On my journey I discovered that when I “listen to my body”, I am able to make better choices that support me versus sabotage me!

How Does Body Talk Work?

Think about a recent incident where you were feeling frustrated or down. Negative feelings reduce your desire to stick with your commitments to yourself. When you’re feeling down, making choices that support you can feel very heavy and like hard work

On the other hand when you feel good, happy and content …making the right decision is effortless. That’s how simple it is; just pay attention to your built in guidance system.

When you feel good, life and life’s decisions are easier!

If you’re spending too much time doing things you’re not excited about, the more “negative” feelings you’ll have. These negative feelings are akin to your body waving a red flag to get your attention. This is a perfect time to consider making adjustments in your life that move this “negative situation” to something that is more positive.

The sooner you change these areas of your life, the faster you will find a deeper level of happiness with yourself and your life.

Everyone can Relate to This!

One of my favorite examples of how listening to your body can help make better decisions is getting an invitation to an event you’re not interested in attending. You anguish over whether you should attend or not. Try asking yourself… “what makes me feel good?”

Feel a ‘yes’ and then feel a ‘no’. Let go of what other people will think of your decision. Consider how the yes and no answer “feel”, and then make your decision.

Your Life is Supposed to Feel Good!

This ‘feel good’ indicator helps you make effortless decisions that support versus sabotage you.

It’s simple! Life is supposed to be fun and yet we so often complicate it that we squeeze the joy out of it.

Try to use the ‘feel good’ method of guidance for yourself. You will begin to feel freer to be yourself and feel good about being you! And remember…in the end the only thing that really matters is feeling GOOD!
