Moving up the emotional scale
August 20, 2009
Today something that I did not want manifested. In retrospect, I realized that I of course attracted it and, although what happened may not be a big deal to too many people, it was a big deal to me because this is not the first time it has happened.
I really felt anger after it had happened and then I kind of went into a bit of a daze… you know the kind where you hear someone talking to you but all you can think about is something else that bothered you and nothing can keep you from thinking about it. That is how I felt for about two hours and then I tried very hard to release what I was feeling by tapping and using a Abraham-Hicks technique.
On my way home, I took a piece of paper and I tried to make myself feel better about the situation that happened. It took about twenty minutes but I was able to move from feeling angry and guilty to feeling frustrated and pessimistic about it. Abraham says that we have to put the way we feel first because the way we feel is our point of attraction. Below is the scale of human emotions. Abraham says if you can move up the emotional scale and make yourself feel better, on all subjects, you will allow well-being in a powerful way.
1. Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation.
2. Passion.
3. Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness.
4. Positive Expectation/Belief.
5. Optimism.
6. Hopefulness.
7. Contentment.
8. Boredom.
9. Pessimism.
10. Frustration/Irritation/Impatience.
11. Overwhelment.
12. Disappointment.
13. Doubt.
14. Worry.
15. Blame.
16. Discouragement.
17. Anger.
18. Revenge.
19. Hatred/Rage.
20. Jealousy.
21. Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness.
22. Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness.
When I got home I realized that I needed to cut myself some slack and stop being so self-critical. I reminded myself that it is okay to stumble sometimes. I think the hardest thing about this Law of Attraction stuff is changing these old thought patterns because they do not go away right away. Sometimes I forget that because I make such an effort to get rid of them, that is why they still exist in my life.
Anyway, I was glad that I made what happened today a non-issue by the end of the day. Even though I do not feel ecstatic, I can say that I am happier than I was earlier. What’s great about situations like this is that it teaches you, each time it happens, that you can pull yourself right out of it in less time each time.
