The following is an excerpt from the teachings of Abraham (Esther & Jerry Hicks) that I have found immensely helpful in my life. Our emotions and feelings are our guide in life. They inform us of how in- or out-of alignment we are with our true nature, with our surroundings, and our relationships with others. By asking ourselves some questions and being honest with our answers, we can find out just exactly how we are feeling.
Questions: How are you feeling right now? How are you feeling about ___ (fill in the blank). How are you feeling about your body? Your mind? Your Spirit? Your home? Your job? Your career? Your relationships? Etc. Be specific and hone in on an area where you would like to make some changes. A process of talking out loud or writing down your thoughts will give you the best reading of the way you are feeling.
Your feeling is your energetic vibration, and your energetic vibration is what you are offering the universe and telling the universe you want more of! By communicating with yourself in this way, you can become more conscious and aware of keeping your vibration high so that you can manifest the best possible reality you can!
A Scale of Emotions Looks Like This:
(1=feeling the best, 22=feeling the worst)
1) Joy/Knowledge/Empowerment/Freedom/Love/Appreciation
2) Passion
3) Enthusiasm/Eagerness/Happiness
4) Positive Expectation/Belief
5) Optimism
6) Hopefulness
7) Contentment
8) Boredom
9) Pessimism
10) Frustration/Irritation/Impatience
11) Overwhelment
12) Disappointment
13) Doubt
14) Worry
15) Blame
16) Discouragement
17) Anger
18) Revenge
19) Hatred/Rage
20) Jealousy
21) Insecurity/Guilt/Unworthiness
22) Fear/Grief/Depression/Despair/Powerlessness
You do not have access to emotions that are far from where you are currently vibrating. The goal is to recognize where you are currently vibrating, and then step by step, day by day, walk yourself up the vibratory scale until you are at number one, Joy!
As you make statements with the deliberate intention of inducing an emotion that gives you a slight feeling of relief, you will begin to release resistance, and then you will be able to move gradually up the vibrational scale to a place of feeling much better.
Remember, an improved feeling means a releasing of resistance, and a releasing of resistance means a greater state of allowing what you really want.
Using the Emotional Scale, and beginning with where you are, look at the emotion that is just about where you believe you are now, and try to fashion some words that will lead you into a slightly less resistant emotional state of being.
If the negative emotion you are feeling is slight, you will quickly move up the scale. If the negative emotion you are feeling has only begun recently, you will quickly move up the scale. If you are experiencing something extremely serious, or it is something that you have been troubled with for many years, it is conceivable that you could spend as many as 22 days moving up the scale, each day deliberately choosing the improved emotion just above the one you are currently feeling. But 22 days from Powerlessness to Empowerment is not a long time at all when you compare it to people you know who have been in a state of grief, insecurity, or powerlessness for many years.
The goal is to simply reach a better-feeling emotion. And by doing so, you will free yourself from troubling negative emotions that you have been experiencing for years. And as you gently and gradually release the resistance you have unknowingly gathered, you will begin to experience gradual improvements in your life experience... in all troubling areas of your life.

Some Quotes from Abraham:
By paying attention to the way you feel, and then choosing thoughts that feel the very best, you are managing your own vibration, which means you are controlling your own point of attraction — which means you are creating your own reality. It's such a wonderful thing to realize that you can create your own reality without sticking your nose in everybody else's, and that the less attention you give to everybody else's reality, the purer your vibration is going to be — and the more you are going to be pleased with what comes to you.
From the workshop 12/8/01
You cannot receive vibrationally something that you are not a vibrational match to. And so, bless those who are finding abundance. And in your blessing of them and their abundance, you will become abundant, too. But in your cursing of their abundance, you hold yourself apart from it. It is a law—it is a powerful law.
From the workshop G-6/12/04B
If you have the ability to desire it, the Universe has the ability to deliver it. You've just got to line up with what you want, which means—be as happy as you can be as often as you can be there, and let everything else take care of itself.
From the workshop G-4/25/04
You have the ability to control the power of your thoughts. You have the ability to control the power of your mind. You have the ability to make a vibration dominant that matches your desire. You do. And that's all it takes. And that's all any successful person ever has done. It's all anyone who has ever achieved anything that they wanted has ever done. They just wanted it, and talked themselves into believing it.
From the workshop 3/16/02B
You're always on your way somewhere. The key is: find a way to be happy wherever you now are on your way to where you really want to be. (We're speaking of the state of being you want.) It does not matter where you are; where you are is shifting constantly—but you must turn your attention to where you want to go. And that's the difference between making the best of something and making the worst of something.
