Lesson 45: Your Indicator to Dial It Down

Today I am to recognise one issue or thing in my life that annoys me and gets under my skin. Those types of emotions towards it is an “indicator to dial it down”. Stephanie’s lesson talks about those chemicals building up that stops us dead in our tracks. I am to notice when fight or flight responses kick in unnecessarily and attempt to dial it back.

I seriously think the only thing bothering me that really gets my blood boiling is my situation at work. It’s not within my control and it’s waiting on answers. I try not to think about it but when you feel like you’re constantly shafted, it’s hard to keep a positive mindset. We spend most of our time at work so when it’s not going well, it can really throw off your day… but every day. The way I currently dial it back is to look at my post it note that we established from lesson 41 to “just breathe” and I don’t think about it anymore. I just try and focus on my tasks so I don’t get stuck in that cycle.

I believe to really dial it back, you need to recognise the emotion rising within you, and stop to think if it really serves you. It does take awareness for this to happen. But I learned yesterday at a meet up group about personal development, that fight or flight response is also due to us being forced into situations that push our comfort zone as well. So if we start to recognise those emotions in those uncomfortable situations, we can then work towards overcoming any stressful or fearful thought. Sounds easy, but it takes work really. Something I am still working on for sure. It’s all about taking a moment to think about what doesn’t serve you and retraining the brain to think differently.

Lesson 45: There is the illusion..

Today I am to think about how much control I have over my life, if I’m sure about that and to imagine the universe having a better plan for me.

I agree that we do not have complete control of our lives. I know this all too well when my life went out of my control last year and I questioned life itself. When you really feel life spiralling out of control, you really question why. I know last year’s trauma was a pivotal point for me, and I just couldn’t see the value in life when everything seemed to go wrong. I know now, that was just the universe building me up to be a stronger person today, and proving to me that I can overcome any adversity. I was shown that I could go to the very bottom and have the power to climb back out.

I realise this is a story I spout a lot. It’s my story and it definitely shaped how I became the person I am today. I don’t even care that I repeat myself because I had my awakening through my adversity. I suffered a loss in an abortion, I didn’t know why the situation was happening to me at the time, but I’ve grown so much from it because I angrily asked the universe what was the point. I got my answer in 2 angel fish. They were sent to me and I’ve never really doubted what the universe brings me since that connection.

It’s why I’ve chosen to just live through experience. Every situation has something to be gained from it. A little insight maybe? A little fun? A little memory? Life is to be experienced and not just a set of tasks to be accomplished. We need to LIVE and not just exist. I know I want to look back on my life and can say I really loved the experience. The day I move on, I’ll be ready because I can say I truly lived. I believe the universe is sending me what I need when I need it. So it’s just being open to what comes.
