7 Steps To Success & Happiness

Success Feeling Fun Exercise

This exercise is enjoyable and is a great way to help you start becoming aware of your own power to design your life and the way you feel.

So let’s get started. 

Read the instructions up to the point when I tell you to stop reading then do the exercise before reading the rest of the post.

For a few moments close your eyes and remember a time when you were very happy – maybe peaceful, or excited, having fun, feeling, relaxed or in love for example.

Perhaps you were on holiday – or you had a new pet or a new baby – or you had a good time with friends or playing sport – or you saw something very beautiful like a sunset or an animal or a flower.  It doesn’t matter how long ago it was – just take yourself back there now.

Imagine for a moment you are back in that situation right now.

Notice whether you are indoors or outdoors, what sort of day it is, what you’re wearing, who is around you, what you can hear and see and feel.          

Take time to notice everything about the situation and really enjoy the good feelings you experience as you allow yourself to be back there in your imagination now.

You can, if you choose, practice going back to other good situations you’ve experienced in the same way & enjoy the feelings of those times too.

Stop reading now and do this exercise now before you read on.

When you’ve completed the exercise

Notice that each time you went back into one of those memories, you experienced the feelings you felt back then.

And when you came back again you may still have felt that feeling or you may have let go of it again.

So – you were picking up – and then letting go – feelings you had not been feeling before you started the exercise.

This means you can actually feel any feeling you’ve experienced in the past – whenever you choose – just by going back to that time in your imagination and ‘being’ there, as you just did.

It also means you’re aware you COULD pick up or let go of feelings any time – if you chose to.

Of course there may be times when it doesn’t seem so easy to deliberately pick up or let go of a feeling.  That’s quite natural – it’s all to do with your minds unconscious programming that you’re not aware of.

In fact some people don’t even find it easy to go back to good times in their imagination and feel those feelings, because they are programmed unconsciously not to enjoy those good feelings.

If you had difficulty with experiencing good feelings in the exercise – notice what happens if you go back in your imagination to a time when you were very upset or angry about something – I bet you can feel those feelings again quite easily.

The principle is of course the same – but if you find it easier to feel uncomfortable feelings than good feelings, that just shows there are some unconscious blocks for you to clear so you can be successful and happy from now on. 

You already have 2 success tools to help you do this and you’re about to discover several more even more powerful tools to clear all those blocks to your success for good!

So keep using the tools you’ve learned already – so you’re ready to add in the next one very soon!

Best wishes
