Sunday Solace: Feel It, Don’t Follow It ~ Mastering Emotional Signals
Manage episode 492906084 series 3635680
- “God doesn't waste a single step on the trail — even the ones you thought were detours.”
- Have you ever felt something so strongly — and later realized it wasn’t the full picture?
- Feelings are indicators, not dictators
- Feelings point to unmet needs, unresolved pain, or inner beliefs. It’s at this point, there is usually a focus running, such as “I am not lovable”, “My needs don’t matter”, “I am not enough” and so on. It is much easier said than done, but the more you practice being in alignment and focusing on what is, we begin to see a greater connection of positive feelings that are common with your values.
- I want to provide you with some thought discipline tools.
- Journaling (reflective prompts) ~ there is power when we put pen to paper.
- Naming the feeling (“Name it to tame it.”)
- Breathing + grounding practices
- Prompts:
- What am I feeling right now?
- What thought is fueling this feeling?
- What does this emotion tell me about my beliefs?
- Is this feeling aligned with truth?
- What truth can I stand on instead?
- Scriptures:
- Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." - Psalm 34:17-18 (NLT)
"The Lord hears his people when they call to him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted; he rescues those whose spirits are crushed." - Romans 12:12 (ESV)
"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer."
- Philippians 4:6-7 (NIV)
- Let’s keep climbing into growth — together.
