How do you NUMB the bad feelings?

Those of you that know me personally know that I was overweight as a teenager and continued to be like that till college. My relationship with food was complex to say the least. From a very early age, I was offered food (mostly chocolates & cookies) in lieu of what I really wanted to do or express.

• If I wanted to go out and play in the rain (that meant getting my clothes really dirty)
  
• If I didn’t want to do my homework
• If I fell and hurt my knee
• If there was a program on T.V. that the adults wanted to watch
• Or I was just looking for some attention

It didn’t matter, I was given food and that meant that we have ‘dealt’ with whatever the issue was. So it wasn’t long before I realized that if I felt something that I couldn’t deal with, I ought to have chips or chocolates or sandwich...

I have to admit, as a child I did enjoy bargaining for ice-cream instead of chips when I hurt myself or when I brother would tease me...yum!
If you are familiar with the Law of Attraction, Feelings play a crucial role in the process of manifesting what you want.

For a Deliberate Creator, feelings are a barometer in understanding whether your current thoughts are self serving or not.

When you aren’t feeling too good, you know your thoughts are flowing against the current and you are heading where you don’t want to go. For Deliberate Creators, being aware of their feelings is an excellent tool to manifest.

Your feelings indicate your alignment with Source. Once you understanding how to read your feelings, you can change your thoughts by applying the principles of Law of Attraction to steer your life in the direction that you please.

So how do you numb your feelings? What is your preference in avoiding Feeling the Feeling?

• Food
• Shopping
• Emotional blackmail, dumping your feelings on people you love
• Work
• Sleep
• Being with multiple partners
• Medication

Numbing your feelings is not the best idea around. Sure it will give you short term relief but it will not eliminate the thought causing those feelings. So very soon you will find yourself feeling the same feelings and the cycle continues.

Feelings and emotions, even the so called bad ones, are good. They let you know that you are an intelligent, expanding being, someone who is connected to the Source. And the bad feelings provide the much needed contrast to create a unique life experience for you, NOW.
