“There are levels of feelings” – a message

While listening to the Power CD I heard the author describe the different levels of positive and negative feelings.

Positive (from highest to lowest)

Love

Gratitude

Passion

Excitement

Enthusiasm

Hope

Satisfaction

Negative (from lowest to highest)

Boredom

Irritation

Disappointment

Worry

Criticism

Anger

Hate

Envy

Guilt

Despair

Fear

After some thought I realized that the positive feelings slow things down and are low frequency in nature.  The Negative feelings accelerate our nervous system and are therefore high frequency in nature. 

I believe that we need to create a card with the positive feelings on it and to pull the card out several times a day and state out loud the positive cycle for each feeling:

I am [insert a positive feeling] for/by/because… [insert your response]

An example of a pocitive cycle is:

I am LOVED because

I am GRATEFUL for

….

I am SATISFIED by

Today’s question is:

“How many times a day do you need to go through the cycle to bring forth positive feelings?”
