She became stronger when she faced these painful emotions and didn&#8217;t look away. If you want to change your life, a habit Doyle suggests is <strong>using painful emotions to grow and evolve\u2014to become truly alive.<\/strong> Doyle defines being \u201calive\u201d as constantly evolving into a more authentic and fully-formed version of yourself. She believes your emotions will provide all the instructions you need to guide you on your journey<strong>\u2014<\/strong>and the most challenging emotions are often the most instructive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Doyle\u2019s post-rehab growth is a common experience\u2014many people experience <em>positive<\/em> psychological change, which experts call <a href=\"https:\/\/www.psychologytoday.com\/us\/basics\/post-traumatic-growth\">Post-Traumatic Growth<\/a>, after a hardship or trauma. This phenomenon occurs because enduring a life-altering event can suddenly force you to consider your relationships, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-genius\/\">who you are<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/find-your-place-in-the-world\/\">your place in the world<\/a>.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Doyle names three instructive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-deal-with-difficult-emotions\/\">difficult emotions<\/a> :&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Anger<\/strong> can reveal your core beliefs. When you get angry, it is a sign that someone has challenged your deeply held beliefs about yourself or the world.<\/li><li><strong>Heartbreak<\/strong> can guide you toward purpose and activism. The issues that break your heart are the causes you should become more involved in. (We will explore this further in the next section.)<\/li><li><strong>Grief<\/strong> requires you to let go of a previous way of life you can\u2019t return to. Grief becomes an opportunity for rebirth.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Habits That Change Your Life: Using <em>Positive<\/em> Emotions<br><\/strong><br>Doyle says a habit that changes your life is learning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/embrace-negative-emotions\/\">embrace negative emotions<\/a>, but in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.penguinrandomhouse.com\/books\/55992\/positivity-by-barbara-l-fredrickson-phd\/\"><em>Positivity<\/em><\/a>, author Barbara Fredrickson argues that good emotions do a much better job at broadening your mind and teaching you important truths.&nbsp;<br><br>Fredrickson says that positive emotions don\u2019t just make you feel good. They can widen your sense of possibility, change your perspectives, and lead to new thoughts and actions. She explains that even small experiences with positive emotions can prompt these effects by increasing dopamine levels in your brain. This increase leads to creativity and openness to new experiences. On the other hand, negative emotions <em>lower <\/em>your dopamine levels. While negative emotions might be useful for assessing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/your-life-purpose\/\">your purpose<\/a>, letting go of your old habits, and identifying core beliefs, Fredrickson says that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3122271\/\">they limit the ways you can engage in new thoughts and actions<\/a>.&nbsp;<br><br>Fredrickson suggests that you learn to engage more actively with positive emotions by adhering to the 3-1 ratio: For every one negative emotion you feel, engage with three positive emotions. This ratio will allow you to focus more intentionally on dopamine-boosting positive emotions and what they have to teach you.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Habit 2: Use Your <strong>Intuition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Doyle, a habit that changes your life is learning to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/trust-your-intuition-trust-your-instincts-trust-your-gut\/\">trust your intuition<\/a>. This empowered Doyle to make decisions that aligned with her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/inner-self-meaning\/\">inner self<\/a>. She no longer felt she had to consult others for advice or validation. <strong>Her intuition freed her from being controlled by society\u2019s expectations and empowered her to make her own choices.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-make-a-difficult-decision\/\">making a difficult decision<\/a>, you can use Doyle\u2019s method for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-tap-into-your-intuition\/\">tapping into your intuition<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Retreat to a quiet place where all you hear is your breath.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Sink into your consciousness and become aware of a deeper sense of yourself.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Connect and commune with this version of yourself.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Ask a question in this mental space and see if you sense a gentle push towards the next step to take.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Sit and reflect on this new knowledge and insight.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This practice will get you in touch with your intuition, allowing you to make your own choices, confident that your decisions come from a place of strength and inner knowledge. (Shortform note: According to Doyle, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-self-reflect\/\">self-reflection<\/a> relies on <em>individual<\/em> empowerment, but this may not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/melania-trumps-be-best\/\">be best<\/a> for everyone. When learning to use intuition as a habit to change your life, you may want to feel supported by a community as you seek truth and pursue wisdom. There are many ways you can find this community support\u2014for example, you can get <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treehugger.com\/how-get-connected-your-community-4868225\">involved with a faith community, join a meditation group, or talk with a therapist or spiritual counselor<\/a>.)&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Practical Steps for Successfully Accessing Your Intuition<\/strong><br><br>It\u2019s important to note that there are a variety of practices that can be useful in accessing your intuition\u2014if Doyle\u2019s process of connecting to a deeper sense of self feels a bit too ambiguous for you to replicate, you might try incorporating more concrete steps into your practice. In <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-success-principles\"><em>The Success Principles<\/em><\/a>, Jack Canfield shares his approach to accessing intuition\u2014an approach that is similar to Doyle\u2019s practice in some ways, but includes some more relatable practices.&nbsp;<br><br>Canfield\u2019s first recommendation is that you <a href=\"https:\/\/jackcanfield.com\/blog\/how-to-meditate\/\">prepare your mind and body for meditation by sitting comfortably and practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing<\/a>. Canfield then recommends that you find a focal point (such as a lighted candle) and repeat a single word or phrase, such as \u201crelax\u201d or \u201cI am love.\u201d Repetition can clear your mind and help you focus.<br><br>Beyond asking you to sit in a quiet, dark space, Doyle doesn\u2019t emphasize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/eckhart-tolle-meditation-mindfulness\/\">meditation<\/a> <em>preparation <\/em>practices as much as Canfield does<em>.<\/em> However, you might find that combining her suggestions with Canfield\u2019s practical advice more effectively gets you into the deep, reflective headspace required for \u201csinking into\u201d your inner self as Doyle does.<br><br>Canfield\u2019s next step is to shift into a mode in which you are more receptive to messages and intuition. For Doyle, this receptive mode is a headspace in which she receives messages as a gentle nudge from her <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/negative-inner-voice\/\">inner voice<\/a>. You may initially find it difficult to get in touch with this nebulous \u201cinner voice\u201d\u2014fortunately, Canfield points out, there are many ways that you can receive messages from your intuition. He suggests focusing on something more tangible: the <a href=\"https:\/\/shortform.com\/app\/book\/the-success-principles\/principle-47#tapping-into-your-intuition\">emotions and physical sensations you feel as you meditate<\/a>. You can think of these sensations as surface-level messages from your intuition. For example, you pose a question during a meditation session and feel anxiety and tension throughout your body. Your intuition could be telling you that that decision is not the way to go.&nbsp;<br><br>Canfield\u2019s practice includes a final step that Doyle doesn\u2019t explore: Make an effort to come out of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/meditation-states\/\">state of meditation<\/a> slowly. This gives you time to visualize how you might apply the wisdom you have gained. On the other hand, Doyle\u2019s approach is more oriented towards an immediate return to your everyday activities, confident in your newfound wisdom.&nbsp;<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-exercise-imagine-your-future\"><strong>Exercise: Imagine Your Future<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Doyle recommends expressing your wildest dreams for your life and the world so that you can act on them.
