I am sitting at the top of run looking down when my body decides to fill itself up with fear of crashing badly. The longer I stay the worse it gets. The fear goes from mild reluctance to absolute paralysis. I know that I am going to ski down the slope. I am just looking for some courage to let go and start my way down.

You can think of negative emotions as a code for unlocking new parts of your higher self. The goal is not to get rid of them necessarily. When the new energy that is higher comes in, they go away almost by themselves. Think of them as your friends that are giving you an uncomfortable nudge to new development. For instance anxiety is almost always trying to take you to a place of confidence where you remember the positive things you can do, hold the memory, and then act with positive energy.

What are you feeling? Where do you think it is taking your higher self to? Courage, confidence, determination, honesty, patience, love, friendliness, compassion, generosity, gratitude, endurance, calm, serenity, enthusiasm, joy.

Let go of the idea that a negative emotion is something you have to fight or do battle with. Think about it as a message that comes to you in code. All you need to do is to process the code. You can journal, meditate, work with a friend, work with a counselor, or work with a group.

Wouldn’t today be a good day to process?

Over the next couple of weeks I am going to give a crash course on this blog about each one of the negative emotions. and what they are generally leading us to. I use 12 of them, but other people use more or have different names.

Fear, Shame, Embarrassment, Anger, Frustration, Guilt, Jealous, Envy, Hurt, Anxiety, Disappointment, and Grief. Where do they take us? Stay tuned to find out. They are not the enemy!!!
