How to Use the Emotional Scale:
Identify the emotion that you are currently feeling on the topic or aspect of your life you want to improve. Use the emotional scale below. When you identify this emotion, reach for a thought that is one or two numbers above it on the scale. For example, if you feel in rage, reach for maybe an angry thought or a revenge thought. Such as if you are feeling murderous rage about a driver who cut you off, you might say to yourself: “That guy is just an a-hole. I hope his car hits a pothole, bottoms out and his engine block is destroyed.”

Note the feeling of relief that accompanys this movement up the scale.

You might have to do this for 15 minutes or even an hour. And then when you are kind of settled into anger and your rage thoughts have subsided, you could start trying for a blame thought that brought similar relief. Such as, “It was completely his fault that I came close to hitting him. He just switched lanes without looking. Stupid putz.” And just think of every blaming thought you can conjure up. But don’t stop there. Keep reaching up the scale.

Maybe from there you could reach disappointment. Such as “I can’t believe that idiot made me lose my temper again. I am disappointed in myself for descending to that moron’s level. It is discouraging to find myself back here in this same old rut.”

And if that feels like a little bit of relief and less bitter overall, you could reach for a less pessimistic thought: “It really sucks that I keep getting drawn into these skirmishes over and over again. Will I ever learn?”

And from there you might reach for a little hopefulness. Such as, “Well at least this time I’m not stewing around in rage for days on end dreaming about having a shoot out on the highway with some idiot. This time I actually caught myself and stopped the rage…and I’ve worked my way up into this small state of hopefulness which feels like I actually have some control over my life. Maybe there actually is something to this Law of Attraction stuff. I definitely feel better faster than I ever have before so soon after an incident. I really can’t even feel the rage from here.

And this is an example of how you can get control over your thoughts and pull yourself out of some dark and desparate places of thought and feel better.

It’s good to catch these things early. But you can do this technique from whereever you find yourself. For long-time issues of anger, rage, despair and so on, you may need to work on this for a few months. But you will definitely see improvement in the first week. This will give you the impetus to stick with it. Remember you control your thoughts and what you attract into your life. You are the center of your own power. Don’t give in to those thoughts that seem to just roll on through “the ”your-thoughts-think-you-kind-of-thoughts.”

You have the power to correct this and attract better thoughts.
