Prosperity Quick Tip
Express Yourself and Prosper
Emotions, by their nature, want to be expressed. Noted psychologist John Bradshaw calls them E-Motions, or energy in motion. When they aren't expressed, emotions get stuck in your body/mind system.
There's a physical reason for this. Simply put, emotions don't happen in your head, they are actually felt throughout your body/mind as molecules called neuropeptides attach themselves onto cellular receptors that are located in every body part. When the emotion is felt, but not expressed, it's as if these molecules of emotion get stuck in your system looking for a way out.
If expressed through voice, writing, art, or any one of a number of pathways, the emotion reaches a point of conclusion. If not, the molecules will find an alternate route of expression, which can include breaking a bone, cutting yourself, back pain, or other physical ailments.
Emotions can also express themselves through your finances causing difficult or painful situations like foreclosure, debt, investment loses, financial scams, or an ongoing condition of lack.
To avoid a buildup of unexpressed emotions, try one of these:
- Whenever you feel uncomfortable, close your eyes, take a deep breath in and make the sound of what you are feeling. No words are necessary.
- Write down what you are feeling. Start your sentences with "I feel." Give yourself permission to write whatever is true for you at the moment. There are no "bad" or "wrong" feelings.
- Get a large pad of newsprint paper and some crayons or charcoal. Make big sweeping lines or scribbles -- whatever wants to come out. You can make sounds while you are doing this.
- When you hear yourself having a heated conversation with someone in your head, say the words out loud.
