I feel really bad though and kinda guilty, but yet i cant help that i dont see us as very good friends anymore. i havent talked to them in like a year. what do i do????
Answer Hi Misskitty,
I’ll begin here.
Feelings are the body’s reaction to thoughts. It usually takes many thoughts of a certain kind to produce a feeling.
Your world is “colored” by your feelings. You see much of what you are looking at based on how you feel now. Have good feelings and you see the world as good. Have negative feelings such as anger, fear, or anxiety and that is how you will see your world.
From your note to me, you seem to have made a decision about whom you want to associate with. That is perfectly ok. You know what you want.
You do have some negative feelings associated with that choice. That is what you want to deal with. When you have done that, you will not feel any negativity about any choices you have made.
I have a technique you can practice that will allow you to release those negative feelings. Let me know if you want that.
If you should need further information or clarification, you can write here again or you can write me at graigy@nukpunuk.net.
Remember, well-being is the only stream that flows.
