It\u2019s true, and there is plenty of scientific research to prove it. It\u2019s a pretty rad cycle, really. Smile more and you\u2019ll feel more like smiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if we apply that to our feelings, too?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just as your smile can send a signal to your brain, your feelings can send a signal to your future.&nbsp;Dr. Joe Dispenza says that &#8220;familiar emotions are a record of the past.&#8221;&nbsp;If you&#8217;re stuck repeating feelings from the past, you future will be a reflection of your past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, we can consciously create forward momentum and forecast future feels&nbsp;by shifting our feelings.&nbsp;In short: feel good more and you\u2019ll have more to feel good about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a simple way to start. Next time you\u2019re feeling negative or stuck in the mud, swap out the feeling for something better. Just like that feature in your Word doc. Find and replace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s a list of simple swaps you can make that will upgrade your current (and future) feels:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>DELETE THIS<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>REPLACE WITH<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>fear<\/td><td>trust<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>overwhelm<\/td><td>spaciousness<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>loneliness<\/td><td>connection<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>no time&nbsp;<\/td><td>plenty of time<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>sadness<\/td><td>gratitude<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>exhausted<\/td><td>energised<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>stuck<\/td><td>in flow<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>anxious<\/td><td>calm<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>worry<\/td><td>freedom<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>scarcity<\/td><td>abundance<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time you feel the undesired feeling, consciously delete and replace it. Just noticing the negative feeling and mentally repeating its positive opposite is enough to make you feel a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Shift your feeling first. The rest will follow. And smile, while you\u2019re at it, will ya?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Feeling negative or stuck in the mud?
