How can I help myself feel happier? If you are asking for healing, begin the practice of letting your feelings up. Sometimes it seems easier to just shut off our emotions, but when we do that we also shut off getting in touch with the thought system and the beliefs that are underneath those emotions. Become aware of your emotions. Let repressed emotions rise into awareness. It is only through looking at the ego thought system and beliefs that we can let them go and healing can take place.
Stress and Worry
Stop People-Pleasing, Reduce Stress and Worry
Stop people-pleasing and you will feel how wonderful life can really be. The people-pleasing defense mechanism is subtle, insidious, and heavily engrained. You’ve been raised with the belief that people-pleasing is good—please your boss, your spouse, your children, etc. Meanwhile, people have all of these underlying currents of conflicts inside. Acknowledge your feelings! Let Spirit give you your yes’s and no’s, and say what you need to say.
