Lesson 22: Feelings: Identify, accept, keep or let go

We saw in lesson 21 that feelings can be emotional or physical. For example happy/sad are emotions, hot/cold are physical feelings. This is not surprising because the mind, body, and spirit are connected to one another.
"Like attracts like", is a saying that expresses that the more positive attitudes that we put out into the world the more positive things will come back to us as a result. So if we can redirect our own attitudes to that of being positive and open we will get more happy things back to us. if we can accept ourselves and the negative attitudes and habits that come up in as, but also then let them go quickly, we will avoid more negative things coming our way. We each have the power to shape how our lives will be, positive or negative.
