Four Feelings / Energy and information for creation

You have four feelings. Anger, Fear, Sadness and Joy. This exercise is about experiencing connection and creating in the present by sharing what's alive in your emotional body.

• Complete the prompt phrases below for the allotted time with every feeling

1. “I FEEL”... Angry, Scared, Sad, Glad

2. “BECAUSE”... Information from the feeling, not the mind.

3.  “I WANT” … Reveals what you care about, your being’s values.

4.  “SO I” … Your action. What you propose, invite, ask, request, want to create…

Stay with the word “FEEL”, as the mind will try to block the feelings and the heart's unfurling. Stay with the prompt phrases and say “BECAUSE” and let the feeling speak, it may not make sense, or may be ‘unreasonable’. Notice when you say “I feel LIKE” and are telling a story. This is not about stories, shift to feel.  
This is about practicing feeling and speaking at the same time. It is a learned skill, requires practise, not familiar or simple.

Resources and more context for this week about the 4 feelings

• Context about the 4 feelings

  Feelings are a neutral source of information and energy, like rocket fuel for your destiny. You have four primary feelings: anger, sadness, fear, and joy. Each one offers unique information and energy to help you navigate life.
  

  Here's a breakdown of what each feeling helps you do:
  * Anger empowers you to start, stop, or change things. It helps you say yes or no, set boundaries, make distinctions, and hold commitments.
  * Sadness allows you to be empathetic, grieve, let go, be vulnerable, accept, appreciate, and connect with others.
  * Fear helps you to be attentive, careful, make safe choices, be awake, be present, and ask challenging questions.
  * Joy enables you to inspire, be inspired, motivate, lead, discover, overcome obstacles, and bring people together.
  

  The work of feelings involves consciously experiencing what you're feeling in the present moment, especially the lower intensity feelings, and then using that energy and clarity to create what you want in your life.
  
  Modern culture often encourages us to avoid feeling our feelings, as feeling them provides clarity and energy. This is often done by maintaining a "Numbness Bar," a psycho-emotional buffer that prevents you from experiencing discomfort, insecurity, or conflict. Raising your Numbness Bar can involve various activities like consuming substances, working, meditating, or even socializing, all to avoid feeling.

  A good way to start reconnecting with your feelings is to consciously acknowledge each one. For example, you can place four objects in front of you, with each representing one of the feelings. Then, for each object, ask aloud or to yourself, "Hello [feeling]. What do you have for me today?" and then listen for the information it provides.

  It's also important to distinguish between feelings and emotions. Feelings are what come into your awareness in the Adult Ego State, providing you with information and energy to act.

  You might find it helpful to explore more about specific feelings, such as articles on conscious anger or fear.

• Morning Object Practice

  For two weeks, each morning during breakfast, place four objects in front of you. Each object will represent one of the four feelings. Give three minutes of space to each one.
  * Hello anger: Look at the first object and say, "Hello anger. What do you have for me today?" and listen. Your anger will provide information you need for the day.
  * Hello sadness: Look at the second object and say, "Hello sadness. What do you have for me today?" and listen. Your sadness will provide information you need for the day.
  * Hello fear: Look at the third object and say, "Hello fear. What do you have for me today?" and listen. Your fear will provide information you need for the day.
  * Hello joy: Look at the fourth object and say, "Hello joy. What do you have for me today?" and listen. Your joy will provide information you need for the day.
