Why Feeling Good Always Works Better

It’s normal for me to face pushback when I share my core belief that feeling good isn’t just a nice idea—it’s the best, most effective way to create a thriving life.

I’ve received angry comments, emails, and have made family and friends mad, because I stand firm in this truth: Feeling good feels good—and it works better, always.

I’ve shared this message in my newsletter, on my YouTube channel, and in interviews, and while it sounds simple, I know it can take some explaining. After all, most of us have been taught to think differently, right?

The Trap of Negative Emotions

We’ve been told to work harder, grind through the struggle, and push against obstacles. The message seems to be: If it's important and matters, you should worry. If you care about something, you should stress over it.

When faced with loss, we’ve been conditioned to believe we should dwell in sadness.

When we’re wronged, we’re taught that self-righteous anger somehow gives us power to change others.

If we don't want to repeat mistakes, we should relive the pain and suffering of the past.

Being offended has even become a badge of honor, as if focusing on the problem will solve it.

But here’s the thing: None of that works.

Here's an example: A client had a difficult relationship with her husband, who used their limited money for drugs. She felt hopeless and angry, and for good reasons. However, these emotions were draining, making her feel like a victim and leading to negative behaviors.

In hypnosis, we took a different approach. I wanted to help her move forward from a place of empowerment, appreciation, and optimism. I guided her to:

• Feel good about her husband: She remembered positive memories from their early days together and focused on the loving and supportive things he did.
• Appreciate the growth in herself: She recognized how the challenges had helped her become stronger, more independent, and resilient.
• Open herself up to support and help: She opened herself up for support and help, and let go of feelings of shame and guilt, this made a significant difference in her situation. And she discovered their was a world of very giving and generous souls
• Make clear choices: She became more intentional about making healthy choices for herself and her future and dramatically changed her life and fortune.

From this place of strength, she got a divorce, but not from a bitter, hopeless state. She felt optimistic, hopeful, and believed in her ability to create a better life.
