Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:41):
Hello there, how are you?
I hope you have a feeling word,and it is good to have a strong
feeling word, because if youexpress yourself with a strong
feeling word, it will mostdefinitely be able to share and
show onto people what isactually going on with you,

(01:03):
without you even having toexplain, because what I'm hoping
is that someone will ask youokay, well, what got you so
uptight?
You know what got you so, youknow, happy, so insightful, so
relaxed or so calm at this time?

(01:26):
You know that's if you'rearound people that want to
integrate.
You know conversation.
But anyhow, let's get to it.
What do I want to do about it?
This is the second questionpertaining to processing your
thoughts and your feelings.

(01:46):
This is a question that needsto be answered.
What do I want to do about it?
And hey, it can be someintrusive thoughts Intrusive.
It's a reason why it'sintrusive.
So, if you have intrusivethoughts, it's good to be able
to express what is going on withyou on paper, because you get

(02:12):
to look it over, you get to readit over, you get to say, okay,
now, maybe I shouldn't bethinking about that, you know,
and it's okay.
We all have intrusive thoughts,we all have automatic thoughts
and they just come.
But you do have to sit down andprocess those thoughts.

(02:33):
Don't be trying to hide them,don't be trying to internalize
them.
So the question is what do Iwant to do about it?
If you want to do somethingunhealthy, like I said just a
second ago, write it down so youcan process what you want to do

(02:56):
.
That is so unhealthy Becauseyou want to figure out what is
inside of me that's making mefeel like this is the way to go.
Okay, because evidently it'scoming out.
It's what I'm thinking.
So what got me feeling this way?
What coming up for meunderneath this means Because

(03:21):
your heart is going to tell onyou.
It really is.
You sit down writing on thatpaper and you try to figure out
what it is that you want to doabout the situation that you
have no control over.
You most definitely are goingto tell on yourself, but be
honest about it.
Be honest about it because youdo want to process what is going

(03:44):
on with you as far as thatthing that you want to do about
it, even if it's unhealthy, evenif it's unsafe, even if it's
self-destructive, write it downBecause I do want you to see it.
I do want you to read it, Iwant you to look at it and I
want you to ask yourself whatgot me here.

(04:06):
What got me here?
Because is this the way thatGod want me to be?
You have to ask these questionsand you have to answer them.
So if you find yourself saying,okay, god, is this how God want
me to be, is this what Godintended for me to do with my
life?
And you sit up there and youask yourself that question, go

(04:29):
ahead and answer it.
Let the spirit side of youanswer for you.
Let that part of you answerthat question, because you do
need to answer it.
No, this is not what God hadintended for you.
What does Jeremiah 29, 11, say?
Okay, you can even put themscriptures up in there too, baby

(04:53):
.
Put them scriptures up in there, because you're going to have
to, because what we want to doabout things is that's the flesh
talking.
Of course it is.
Of course it is.
But that's why, when you'resitting down and you're
processing these thoughts, youdo have to look at it, and you
do have to look at it from aspiritual eye as well as a

(05:13):
psychological eye, because youwant to know what is going on
with you, negative feelings andnegative thoughts about yourself
, about certain situationsthat's going on around you that
you cannot control.
Yes, you need to be processingit.
You need to be asking yourselfis this what God intended for me

(05:38):
?
Is this what God wants me to dowith my life?
Is this how God wants me tolive my life, with all of these
negative feelings and all ofthese negative thoughts?
And you make sure that you putthose scriptures in there,
because the spiritual side ofyou is there.
You are a three-part beingSpirit, soul and body baby.

(06:02):
So you got to address it.
You have to.
It is who we are.
We're human beings, all day,every day, 24-7.
