Living Beyond Your Feelings by Joyce Meyer

Description

Living Beyond Your Feelings: What Joyce Meyer Taught Me About Emotions

If there’s one thing we all have in common, it’s that we feel.
Sometimes we feel too much. Other times, we wish we could feel less.

Joyce Meyer’s book, Living Beyond Your Feelings: Controlling Emotions So They Don’t Control You, is one of those reads that makes you stop and think, “Wow, I’ve been letting my emotions lead me more than I realized.”

And the truth is, you’re not the only one.

 Emotions Are Real… But They Don’t Have to Rule

Joyce doesn’t deny the reality of emotions. She explains that emotions are God-given and serve a purpose. However, the problem arises when we let them dictate our decisions, reactions, and relationships, rather than checking in with truth, wisdom, and the Holy Spirit. “You are not a result of what you feel. You are a result of what you choose to believe and act on.” – Joyce Meyer

In simple language, she teaches that you can feel angry and still respond with peace. You can feel afraid and still move forward.
The key is learning to manage emotions with maturity, not ignoring them or letting them explode.

 Understanding Your Emotional Triggers

One of my favourite parts of the book is when she talks about emotional triggers — how past experiences, childhood wounds, or even hormones and stress levels can affect how we react in the moment.

She walks through:

• Why do we react the way we do

• How to recognize patterns in your emotional life

• The role of your mind in controlling emotions

• How to reframe thoughts with the Word of God

It’s not just about being “less emotional”. It’s about being emotionally healthy and spiritually grounded.

Practical Tools That Help

Joyce gives real-life strategies like:

• Pausing before reacting

• Speaking scripture over your mood

• Journaling your emotional patterns

• Creating emotional boundaries in relationships

• Replacing feelings with truth

It’s not about perfection; it’s about progress.
And with every chapter, you feel like you’re sitting across from a wise friend who’s been through the fire and made it out stronger.

Final Thoughts: You Can Be Free

If you’re tired of being led by your emotions, snapping in anger, drowning in anxiety, or being stuck in guilt, this book will truly bless you.

• It’s not just a read
• It’s an emotional reset
• And it reminds you: with God’s help, you don’t have to be ruled by how you feel
