Last day of Century Challenge : Decisions based on Feelings

I can’t believe how long it’s been since I’ve blogged… sorry for being away so long!  I had a recent conversation with someone who seems to make many of her decisions in life based on feelings.  Feelings guide her buying decisions, business decisions, relationships, and daily activities.  Her belief is ”I haven’t bought anything for myself in a longtime and I deserve it”, “It’s not everyday or all the time, so it’s okay”, ”I don’t feel like working today”, and “I know it’s right cause it feels right”.  Not everything that taste good is good for you and not everything that feels right is a good idea. 

I started thinking about all the things that I feel like and don’t feel like doing and what the consequences would be if I lived by my feelings.  Feelings are important, it’s the awareness thermometer for what we are experiencing in our lives.  But, if not used properly… it can be sabotaging.  Sadness or a time for morning is appropriate, but prolonged sadness is not.  We have stressful moments, but living a life of constant stress leads to physical disease. 

Feelings can be helpful & empowering to motivate us to make moves, changes, and decisions.  Feelings can be a jumping off point to something great.  When I feel so sick and tired of feeling sick and tired… I take action.   

  • If you don’t speak to your emotions, they will speak to you.
  • If you don’t take authority over your emotions, they will take authority over you.
  • If you don’t rise up and conquer your flesh, it will rise up and conquer you!
  • So quit letting your emotions tell you what to think, what to do, and how to react.
  • It’s time for YOU to do the talking and to take command of your own thought life!
  • Last day of the Century Challenge Jan. 31st.  Total 3100 squats, 31oo pushups & 3100 crunches.  Congratulations to all who have been doing 100 of each everyday.  Give yourself a pat on the back, cause I know you did not feel like doing it everyday!
