MODULE 7: Living with Intention
How do you want to feel in your life?
Remember - everything we want or don't want. Everything we do, or don't do…
is all because of how we think we will feel or how we want to feel.
Feelings motivate human behavior. This is critical to understand. Most of us are not intentional with deciding to create feelings on purpose. Most of us don't really know what it is that we are feeling at any given moment, nor do we know what we actually want to be feeling.
Find your list from Module 2’s Exercise, "Getting Clear on What You Want".
Go through the list . For each item that you wrote down, in a different color pen, write down the feeling you think you would experience if you had what you wanted.
Here are some examples:
Wouldn't it be nice if....
I had more money in my bank account. The feeling I would feel is freedom.
I could spend more time with my friends. The feeling I would feel is connected.
My husband brought me out for dinner. The feeling I would feel is loved.
Go through your list and notice the patterns of the feelings you are craving. What do you notice?
What are the feelings you most want to feel in your life?
Write them down in your journal. In contrast, think about the last two weeks of your life.
What are the top 3-5 feelings that you notice yourself feeling regularly? What are your current feeling patterns?
Is there a discrepancy? Why do you think this is?
