Do it if it feels good??
Thats like saying overeating is good for u! Not working feels good. Should everyone who felt that way stop working?
I find it hard to believe what they're teaching.
encouraging smoking because its relaxing? Why not crack pot, marijuana?
Unbelievable!

How about looking at it this way?
Why do you work? To provide for yourself, your family, to put a roof over your/your families head? To make you feel worthwhile? To be able to live in this society that you find yourself in. Do all these things not make you feel good? Or at least the illusion that these things will make you feel good? And they probably will, for a while. It's the "feeling good" that we are after. So why shouldn't we think about the things that will make us feel better? Over eating does not make you feel better. It may, for a while. But ultimately, you know that you are damaging your physical apparatus.
The whole message of Abe-Hicks / LoA is that focusing your energy (thought, words, action) on feeling good will bring you more good feelings. Now, in my book, there is no negativity about that. The negativity simply comes from your resistance to whatever it is that is bothering you. For example;

"underage" sex. It is your belief that there is something "wrong" with sex among people who have been physical beings a certain amount of times the earth has revolved around the sun. That an "age" has anything to do with anything is quite perplexing to me. That an "age" of someone else living how they are living
their life has anything to do with anyone other than that person is also quite perplexing. Do you not see that your resistance to the situation is what is causing you negative emotion? You want someone else to fit into the idea that
you have for
them. How would you feel if someone did that to you? Is that not what this whole "war on terrorism" is about? Freedom? Freedom is exactly that. Free. Freedom is freedom from negative emotion. Do you want to focus your life on all the things that are "wrong" with the world? Because you'll see an awful lot of it. There is "wrongness" in everything if you look for it.
Happiness is a feeling. And I hope we are all in agreement when we say that happiness feels good. Look for things in this physical reality that you find yourself in for things that make you feel happy. As Abe-Hicks says, when you are free from negative emotion you are so free that you could choose bondage.
Either way, it's you who does the feeling, and you who will see (or not) the results of that which you think and feel, no one else. You are extremely powerful.
Love.
