Well, I can only say stuff for 'me'....might not work for you.
I firmly believe feelings are there as ''pointers''... not things to dwell on.
(Unless these feelings are wanted - meaning, feel GOOD!)
I learned a long time ago from a Christian preacher on TV ...not to bother much with our fleeting feelings that
can go all over the place! That was novel to me...Oh?
"Don't pay so much attention to them"??? ok....
But, she was right...as Paul said in Col 3:2 that opened my eyes regarding this, also...
"Focus on the things above and not the things on the earth." (I also stopped and said to myself, "What?" LOL)
SO the result: I tried these 2 pieces of advise in 2006.
I focused on higher things, since we have the
choice to focus on whatever we
choose!-
I
chose truths that I believed in...simple example:
That all things work for the good.
I focus on and contemplate
that, instead of the stupid feelings and thoughts I didn't want.
I ponder -
Why am I feeling this. Then, decide to not feel it anymore...by resolving it somehow; some things take longer than others, sure,
and we can ask for help.
