Positive emotions are more than a rush of the feel goods that’s “nice to have.” Positive emotions are huge blinking arrows that are pointing us towards our next big idea, our next great relationship and ultimately — our life’s purpose.

You know that game we used to play as kids: Marco Polo? Our positive and negative emotions are our inner compass that in every moment, are shouting either “Marco!” or “Polo!”

Truly proving that the answer is always there — just tap into your two most basic emotions. 😃😕

If THAT feels good, do more of THAT!

Outside of the immoral or illegal, if something makes you feel good, do more of that! That’s your inner “Marco” saying “yes yes yes, go this way! You’re on the right path,” even (and especially!) if it seemingly doesn’t make sense. Florence (not her real name) felt an impulse to go buy flowers one day, for no reason beyond the fact that it felt like it might be fun. On her way to the store, she ran into Jack — an old classmate who she hadn’t seen since her high school graduation 16 years prior. The two got to talking, made plans for later that week and now, six months later they’re enjoying the healthiest romantic relationship either has ever experienced.

Those are some serious Universal principles at work there where seemingly unrelated events lead to paths we just couldn’t plan. In other cases, it’s simpler — like showing up for hobbies (like dancing) and having a dream job opportunity come from it.

Knowing the 2 things “not feeling good” indicate.

We’re not talking about the life events that can leave you with actual heartbreak for this one. This is more about those times when you just “feel blah” and down for seemingly “no reason.”

When this sort of negative emotion comes up, it’s indicating one of two things:

You’re either not rising up to what your higher self (or inner guide — whatever you like to call it) is asking of you: So ask yourself, is work uncomfortable because you’re not rising up and changing your behavior with some things? Is a relationship uncomfortable because you aren’t speaking your mind? Your inner, most baddass self might be asking you to rise up and you just aren’t. Hence the inner turmoil. Don’t worry. Try simply noticing it for a while. When you’re ready, start behaving more in line with what you think your higher self wants from you. Baby steps.

Or

Your inner guide is yelling “Polo!” :  In this instance, negative emotion is acting as a redirect to get you moving in a new direction. Quite frankly, it’s time to make a life change.

Our emotions are providing us with constant feedback around our life situation. Notice them and get curious about what they’re trying to say. Dare to follow what feels good and watch what magic unfolds. ✨
