This Week in The Feel Better Letter 👇

✅ Love doesn’t just elevate you — it brings up everything that blocks love.
✅ Healing isn’t about fixing symptoms — it’s about letting old emotional material surface and be released.
✅ When you raise your consciousness, the “problems” you once fought lose their power naturally.
âś… New episode: Holiday Anxiety: The Pressure to “Be Okay” (and Why It Makes You Feel Worse)


Matt's Message of the Week

Why Love Brings Up Its Opposites

“Love is the highest vibration — and anything that isn’t love has to surface on its way out.”

This week, I shared a simple but powerful insight from The Map of Consciousness Explained by Hawkins — one that explains so much of the healing journey:

Love doesn’t just feel good. It also brings up everything in you that isn’t aligned with it.

When you choose love — real love, open-hearted love — the fear you’ve been carrying doesn’t disappear. It rises. Old patterns rise. Doubts rise. Emotional residue rises.
Not because something is wrong — but because something is releasing.

This is why people get confused during healing.
They start showing up with more presence, more compassion, more openness… and then suddenly all their old fear, irritation, grief, or insecurity comes to the surface.

But this isn’t backsliding.
It’s cleansing.

Love expands your system, and whatever can’t come with you gets pushed up and out.

So when fear comes forward, it doesn’t mean you’re failing.
It means you’re healing.

Instead of collapsing into the fear, this is the moment to stay in the vibration of love — to breathe, allow, and let the old energy clear.

Because the more you can stay open while the opposites arise, the faster they dissolve.

That’s how love transforms you.

This Week’s Reminder

You don’t rise by suppressing your emotions.
You rise by releasing what blocks your natural state of love.

To your freedom and success,

Matt

This Week in The Feel Better Letter 👇 ✅ One of the biggest obstacles to recovery is that fear makes staying stuck feel safer than stepping into the unknown.✅ When you've lived with fear for a long time, it can become so familiar that you start identifying with it, telling yourself, "I'm just anxious" or "This is just my OCD."✅ The mind will try to think its way out of fear, but when fear has h...

This Week in The Feel Better Letter 👇 ✅ Fear promises that if you solve, analyze, or control the problem now, you'll have a better tomorrow—but the price it asks you to pay is today.✅ The future fear keeps warning you about is largely an illusion; tomorrow never actually arrives because life is always happening in the present moment.✅ The more you ruminate, seek reassurance, fight thoughts, or...
