easy :: not so easy
Learning to get intuitions. EASY.
- Decide you want intuitive guidance.
- It will find you. Really.
- Notice what you notice and follow it.
- Really that simple.
Learning to live true to yourself always. NOT SO EASY.
- Intuitive guidance ultimately connects you to mind-body-spirit balance. Oh, balance.
- When you're conscious and you're following the guidance, it will lead you to what you need. Not always what you want.
- Reorganizing your life to fit the ways you are changing on the inside. Challenging.
- Reorganizing your mind. Whoa.
- Making your emotions more intelligent. Whoooaaaaa.
- Dark night of the soul period. Period.
- Simplifying your life. Not always so simple.
Motto as of late: There's a difference between knowing the path and walking the path.

"Making your emotions more intelligent". Interesting. Is this like channeling emotion into more productive efforts? Or consciously changing emotion, such as choosing what to feel? Maybe those 2 are related. Curious about this, as I've been struggling with feeling what I feel when I feel it. Hard to hide. Overwhelming sometimes. I want an Emotional Override feature on my control panel.
Great question. I see it this way:
We can't always believe what we think.
- I thought he was cheating on me but he wasn't.
- I think I'm stupid, but I'm not.
We can always believe what we feel....but watch for what it means!!!!
- I'm worried and anxious.
Yes, the emotion is true. I am worried and anxious.But why?
1. Related to someone/something else
Either he's cheating or something similar is wrong
2. My stuff
I have unresolved issues about cheating or limited beliefs and insecurities about myself
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If I'm charged and emotional on any topic, then my emotions are feeding me information. Pay attention. There's something to resolve.

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS:
1. Recognizing the emotion
Allowing and not supressing.
It helps most for those learning this to notice where it is in the body. give it a temperature. texture. light/heaviness. etc.
2. Discerning the cause of the emotion
Always look at yourself first, cuz you only charge positively or negatively around your own stuff.
3. Choosing how to act on the emotion
Decide how I want to respond rather than letting it run me.
EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE IS NOT:
- unemotional
- so detached there is no heart
It can be....
* compassionately detached
* 0pen hearted
* Observing
You can tell because it isn't cold. It's warm.
Understanding my emotion may be enough to not feel it anymore (as we become more and more clear). However, my choice may be to grieve, be sad, be angry, whatever, and to act accordingly.
***********************************
ONE WAY TO TELL IF YOUR EMOTIONAL EXPRESSION IS BECOMING MORE INTELLIGENT:
The expression contributes to feeling
MORE EXPANSIVE and LESS CONSTRICTED.
***********************************
With all that said...now the dirt comes out...
I'm superhighlycalifragicextersenstitosous!! Highly sensitive.
I used to supress because I was afraid of the intensity. Still do sometimes. Then I'm not so used to expressing certain emotions (anger) and it comes out a BEAR! Progress for me. Not so pretty for others in its path. :) I'm even kinda proud of my rage but working on not holding back gently.
I'm aware of it. Working on it.
Becoming more emotionally intelligent.
hope this helps a bit...if it's just psychobable, appreciate your help sorting it out!
Motto as of late:
don't hold back, gently.
Update:
Emotion follows thought.
Emotion is really information about your thoughts, perception of your thoughts.
