Anyway - she said happiness is a perception. Isn't it just. I smiled when I saw someone’s comment last night – though can’t remember where. Anyway – she said happiness is a perception.

I knew someone would be able to understand and express what I was trying to say in a better way :) And yeah Missy, from my understanding Abe agree that we definitely have to FEEELLL the feelings before we can truly move on. What a fantastic discussion this turned out to be, thanks to you for asking the question and to everyone who replied. You guys rock so hard!! Thanks Carol and Mary for the excellent insights!

I see where you are all coming from too. I think that I am looking at Abe's wise words to find the better feeling as too balck and white. I saw it to be this - feel crap and get out of it as soon as possible. Where as its probably more like this - FEEEEEL crap and find the next best thought you can. I think Mary summed it up by saying about processing the pants bit first and then moving forward. Which is what I do. But when I read about Abe saying find the next best thought up the scale, I kind of saw that as jumping from feeling pants and not dealing with the feeling pants bit. In my head the above bit makes sense ! I'm not sure, as you can see from above, that I explained myself too well the first time around. I just saw it that Abe doesn't want us to wallow full stop. I couldn't see their advice that you need to feel the emotion in order for it not to bite you on the bum later. Thanks folks. I knew I’d get some insights ! I see where you are all coming from too.

The sooner we look for the better thought (after processing, if need be) the sooner all those better thoughts connected to it come to us. It shifts our vibration to a higher one so the negative ones don't keep coming on so strong taking us deeper than we're prepared to go. I also believe the better thoughts, even if they're not feelings yet, create more opportunities to see other good stuff happening or coming. It's like, you're looking out a window and not liking what you see very much, you acknowledge that and then find another window with a sunnier view to look at. Pretty mental picture eh? :-) A thought to MissyB about the “finding the better thought in the negative stuff” question she had.
