Friday Feelings: November 7, 2025

The advice that changed everything

You might remember the story in my book about my friend asking, “Show me how you do down and depressed.”

That moment woke me up to something I’d been blind to. I was doing the feelings that were keeping my life stuck.

Most people don’t realize it, but we slip into those old feelings every day. Frustration. Powerlessness. Doubt. And without meaning to, we’re rehearsing the very energy that keeps those conditions alive.

The key is catching yourself mid-scene.

Noticing, Oh wait… I’m doing broke right now.

Or I’m doing not-good-enough.

The moment you see it, you’ve got power again. Because you can choose to do something different... to imagine a new scene, to breathe differently, to think a thought that lights you up instead of drains you.

As soon as I learned that I could do "pumped up and excited" just as easily as "down and depressed," everything in my life changed. Because the feelings you do most often are the ones your reality keeps reflecting back.
