“We have low and high vibrational emotions,” Nafousi explains.
She continues, “High vibrational emotions are love, gratitude, joy, and peace.
Low vibrational emotions include shame, guilt, fear, and envy.”
In her book, Nafousi says an important step is turning envy into inspiration.
She shares, “We all experience envy and we often pass it on as judgment.
For example, we may see a couple engaging in PDA and criticize them.
However, we can use those feelings to show us the parts of ourselves that still need healing.
“Another way is to practice gratitude,” Nafousi adds.
I did it for two weeks, and it honestly changed my whole mindset.
It helps you train your brain to look for the good in your life.”
I agree, as there are days when bad things happen.
But it’s not about ignoring those feelings and only being positive.
It’s about validating our feelings and being compassionate, giving ourselves a chance to reset.
We need to allow ourselves to feel the full spectrum of emotions.
However, I always say there’s a fine line between acknowledging your feelings and indulging in them.
When you realize you’re indulging in them, you gotta try different self-help strategies.”
It’s important to know that is enough.
We have to set boundaries because our time and energy are our most valuable assets.
