Step 1: How Do You Want To Feel Right Now?
The easiest way to determine how you want to feel is by observing how you are feeling right now.
If what you are feeling is NOT what you want to feel, choose a feeling that would counter that!
For instance, I'm feeling a sense of unworthiness, so in my video example I chose to experience worthiness.
You may know what you don't want to feel - but what emotion would you prefer to feel right now?
Do you have an emotion? Great, continue to step 2!
Step 2: Access A Memory That Embodies This Emotion
Now, with that emotion you want to feel in mind, think about a time when you experienced this emotion?
What was a time that you thought, felt, talked, or behaved in a way that really embodied this emotion?
As you access this memory, what did you see? What did you feel? What did you hear?
Did you taste anything at the time? Or smell anything in particular?
Tune into these aspects as much as possible.
As you do, move to step 3.
Step 3: Access Your Imagination
What would it be like if you could experience this emotion as an everyday resource?
What would things look like, sound like, and feel like if you fully and completely stepped into this emotional state?
Allow yourself to go there fully and completely.
What is that like?
When you feel like you've really imagined what that would feel like, head to step 4.
Step 4: Express The Emotion Through Your Body
Now stand up right now.
Real quickly, just stand on your two feet, it's really important!
In order to integrate this emotion in your body, we're going to let our body move with it.
When you think of this emotion, let your body move as though you really feel it.
In example...
...if I'm truly feeling worthy I might clasp my hands over my chest.
...if I'm feeling excited I might jump in the air and yell "yes!"
...if I'm happy I might raise my hands in the air and make a big smile.
Do some physical movement that really emobidies the emotion you want to feel.
Once you do, you have finished!
