"Are you feeling it?"

My amazing sister-in-law was just in town for a week, and boy, did we have fun! We talked, visited and shopped till we dropped. I introduced her to the fabulous Ladies Who Launch LIVE. We shared lots of ideas and plans for her new business. AND I soaked up lots of the wonderful California energy she always brings with her.

On one of our adventures exploring the latest in holiday fashion, I tried on something that was pretty cutting edge (for me anyway! LOL) and she took one look at me and said, "You're just not feeling it, are you?" and sure enough, although the latest in style, it really wasn't me.

I really didn't love the look, but I DID love the way she expressed herself. "I'm feeling it." or "I'm not really feeling it." she'll often say. WOW! It made me stop and think. What if I asked MYSELF each time I considered doing or buying something: "Am I feeling it?" NOT do I want it? Do I need it? Should I? or even Shouldn't I? But "Am I feeling it?" Starting from a feeling point of view, I realized, might really shift my perspective.

Try it. Ask yourself: "Am I feeling it?" the next time something new (or even the same old thing) presents itself.

Let me know if it shifts your perspective. If you get different results. Or if you just feel better looking at how you emotionally connect.
