But it is also important to be in your feelings. Always being positive and thus suppressing less positive feelings is not right. First, we must allow ourselves to FEEL all emotions.

A feeling is an energy. An energy that we must allow to flow through our entire body and then release it - by talking, shouting, crying, laughing, breathing. When we release our trapped emotions, we often release blockages and get a better flow of energy in our energy system, which affects us physically, mentally and emotionally. When we allow ourselves to feel all the emotions and release what is needed, we can then choose our thoughts.

But something important to remember - if our energy is low (we feel depressed, sick, low) it will be difficult to change negative thoughts into positive ones. From experience, I have found that the first thing we should do is to raise our energy because then it will be easier to adopt a more positive attitude.

How do we raise our energy? Well, there are several ways. We get energy from certain basic things such as food, sleep, exercise, the sun and nature. So making sure these areas are catered for can be a first step. We are energised by doing things we enjoy or being with those we enjoy, which is why it's so important to bring lots of joy into our lives. Yoga, meditation, healing and other energy exercises also help to boost our energy.
