Welcome to let it be easy with Susie Moore.

I want to talk to you today about unreliable feelings.

Ha ha!

Look, we don't want to discount or skip over our feelings and emotions.

It's part of being a human being on earth right to experience the spectrum of it all to feel it all right you

there will be times in your life where you experience grief when you're going through a loss

There'll be times of frustration,

there'll be times of euphoria when things are really going right.

As human beings, we're meant to feel it all.

But have you also noticed how it's our emotions that can help us or really are the fuel that

boost some of our bad decisions sometimes? Maybe you feel angry and you lash out, or you

feel some negativity around your body, in your body around someone or something, and you maybe

say something that you don't mean, you criticize somebody or you do or say something that you might regret later.

Sometimes I even have feelings of like I'll show them and I'll do something that isn't even healthy for me or even in my integrity just to maybe prove something to someone who probably doesn't even care.

Right? Feelings are not reliable.

We want to check in with them, look at them,

question them, but also know that emotions are like clouds in the sky, right?

They're constantly shifting and changing.

Nothing is fixed.

How you feel today is not how you're going to feel in probably even a couple of hours, let alone tomorrow next week.

So I even think about like when I'm making plans, if I am committing to something like in a month from now thinking, oh, in a month from now I'll probably want to do it. I think, huh, if it were tonight would I want to do it? If the answer isn't yes, why am I thinking that in a month from now I'm going to be a

magically different person? I think we've all had this. Sometimes we even commit when we're happy and we're in a good mood. We want to maybe please somebody.
