Two Life Transforming Questions

By Tina Olivero

You can only transform an emotion by experiencing the emotion that you wish to transform.

If you DENY the emotion,
or PROJECT the emotion onto another person,
or if you EAT to numb the emotion,
or if you DRINK to hide the emotion,
or if you SMOKE to avoid the emotion,
or if you use SEX to numb the emotion,
or if you GAMBLE to avoid the emotion,
or if you WORK EXCESSIVELY to hide the emotion,
or if you spend all your time , on the phone, watching TV or on the INTERNET to avoid the emotion,
.......THEN.........
you never get the chance to BE IN THE EMOTION.

So if your life is running in cycles and you keep bumping up against the same "stuff", ask yourself these TWO LIFE TRANSFORMING QUESTIONS:

1. What am I using to cover up my emotions?
2. What do I need to feel in order to heal?

On the other side of every breakdown is a BREAKTHROUGH. It's not that we don't want to change but rather we are afraid to breakdown. Just let go and let God work his magic. FEEL the emotion that is there. You are designed to FEEL your emotions as they are exquisitly designed to guide you to all you need to know. As you experience the emotion, you may be unconfortable to say the least. But it's worth it. You can take consolation in knowing that there is a miracle taking place....AND it is waiting for you on the other side.
