    Does this sound familiar? “I think I feel ____.”  We can’t think how we feel. This is impossible. There are facts
    and there are feelings. Until I learned this, I was really good at thinking how I felt or so I thought.

    Over time and many experiences, I developed a shell to protect me from the pains of the yesterdays. As it   
    grew denser – I lost connectedness with my essence – my energy and focus went to  keeping that shell in tact
    between me and others. I wouldn’t let anyone get close. The shell acted as my shield to survive.

    I remember a friend who reads palms shared that my head and my heart weren’t connected and I’d disagree. I
    knew I was sensitive and had feelings.

    Pushed buttons are a direct link to unfinished issues. We can rationalize and attempt to fix a situation with
    talking about i and it tmay diffuse a bit however that pain continues to influence our choices and decisions.

    Last week's Pondering's I wrote about what you don’t own owns you. Here’s an example of this thinking/feeling
    concept in action:

    Recently I recognized that I had a HOT button around chronic TV watching. Ok, so here’s where my head /
    intellect kicked in: I can rationalize my children’s father and with my dad watched a lot of TV, thus I felt ignored. I
    can also add that I’m very active and prefer doing things rather than sitting for hours being a TV expert. While all
    of this has merit, I continued to feel emotionally charged.

    With further exploring the source of my discontent, I realized it provokes me to see someone sitting while I’m
    obsessed with working and if I dare take time off, I’d consider myself to be lazy and if I did, I’d prove my mother
    right – anyone who sits on their hinny and watches hours of TV is worthless.  Oh boy, the feelings appeared   
    and I purged. This was a bingo.
