CREATING THE BIGGEST "NET" FEEL GOOD

(Click on the title of this blog piece to go to "Feeling Good Vs. Feeling Bad - Creating The Biggest 'Net' Feel Good" to read more in-depth and to link to items of further interest.)

This is what all life is about - the enduring "feel good" of life.

All we need to do is:

1. Find out what induces each type of feeling
2. Follow the "doable" actions that create feel goods and/or diminish feel bads, rather than
"try" positive thinking or some intangible that is hard to get your arms around.


THE FINAL FORMULA

FEELING GOODS MINUS FEELING BADS = NET FEEL GOODS


The ingredients:

Sending calming signals to the lizard brain
Breathing, relaxation, soothing/calming statements
Eliminating untrue, dysfunctional beliefs; replacing them (Duh!)
No longer expecting happiness to come from outcomes or circumstances or
people.
Learning and accepting reality, not resisting it
Using "what works" as the only remaining criterion in life (no "right/wrong/blame", "not
good enough", or "there is lots of danger" dysfunctional beliefs)
Focused processes
Meditation - To rewire the brain long term
Soothing, nurturing actions
Keeping oneself in a high state of resourcefulness
Staying in perspective, using the reasoning brain for decisions
Learning intensely about life, to increase one's appreciation of life

Is it worth doing the above? (Duh!)

May you know the great happiness that is the true potential in this life.
