As promised, here’s Power Tip #2 in this week’s edition of “If You Had Only Known…..”

Power Tip #2

Feelings are NOT emotions, and knowing the difference matters…

Feelings are the actual PHYSICAL sensations you experience in reaction to a real or perceived situation/event….

it’s what happens INSIDE YOU when you have a sensual experience** as well as when you have a mental thought.

(**Sensual, as in pertaining to your 5 physical senses…not the sexy kinda sensual:-)

You actually only have 3 feelings: attraction, aversion and neutrality, but the first two feelings are the focus of this convo. 

Attraction feels open, expansive, light and safe….it feels like a “yes, come closer, more please, interesting”

Aversion, as you can guess, feels contracted, narrow, tight….like a “no, stay back, go away”.

Feelings are biological messengers charged with the job of keeping us away from danger, and close to safety, in their myriad forms.
