We have written recently about noticing our emotions. When less than good, pausing and then switching our focus to one that leads toward more relaxation and ease. Gosh sometimes that is not at all easy—even when having distracted myself, taken a rest.

Those of us reaching for feeling good are building new neural pathways moment to moment. These new pathways represent new strength in our ability to focus.
When we are born, we are guaranteed that choosing our focus will be part of our life experience –we will find ourselves close up and personal with something we do not want. We focus on what we DO WANT so we get more of it. Continue reading

In the example below we read the guidance delivered to someone who feels hurt and discouraged from an exchange at her job.

Some of us choose to reach for feeling better. Sometimes we may really feel lousy, out of sorts, down. Other times we may feel what some might call “sludge neutral,” a state that is ok, normal life, the chores, the duties, the routines. Fine, whatever. We know this is not actually happy.
