You cannot have any sort of feelings without first having a belief. Thus any sort of negative feeling is just an indication for a belief which is not in alignment with your true self. It does not belong to you. Let it go.

Because what you believe in, you make real. Your physical reality is a direct result of your beliefs. Your experience of a situation in your day-to-day completely relies on how you define your relationship to that object, that place, that situation, that person, that story in your life.
What you manifest right now starts from your beliefs. In fact, belief is the first step. When you believe a thing to be true, you create a cascade of thoughts, emotions and behaviours that support that belief. If you have no definition for a thing, then it will not even enter your mental or emotional radar. You will never have a thought, a feeling or an emotion related to anything if you didn’t first believe something to be true about it.
Let me give you an example. Okay it’s a bit simplistic, but it perfectly shows how everyone does this. All the time.
Century eggs….unless you are familiar with it will mean nothing to you. To the uninitiated person, it sounds like a bit vintagey (century = hundred years) something maybe related to the famous Faberge eggs. So without knowing what it is, you’ve attached a belief that it is probably something valuable and old.
Okay, now let me tell you what it really is. Century eggs are a Chinese dish where the eggs of chicken, quail or duck are covered in ashes, clay salt and preserved for months. The insides of the egg decompose and form a green-ish jelly-like mixture which is then served straight onto the plate. Wow! New belief! Decomposed egg. Yuck! So without truly knowing what the dish tastes like, you’ve formed a belief based on your knowledge of “decomposition”, how it’s associated with death and decided you’ll probably never eat it. You now have defined what it is and created a relationship to the dish, century eggs.
As soon as you start to apply a belief to any situation, you start to define your relationship to it and pretty soon emotions start to arise. Anything you feel, look back to your original belief that formed when you came about it the first time, because “nothing in life has built-in meaning”. It is the meaning we give to situations that we end up experiencing. We truly get out what we put in.
The same situation can give you a positive or negative experience. If you choose the positive meaning, you’ll get the positive effect, regardless of what anyone else in that situation thinks or what they're intending for you to think. So you can still enjoy the century egg, if you decide to believe that it is yummy and good for your health.
Your current reality has come into being because you choose to see it in that way and you believe it to be true. If you want to change your reality, change your beliefs. Because it all starts from there.
Cheerio!
