The number one reason we create distortions of our emotions is this: self-preservation.

Self-preservation can cause us to behave in one or more of the following ways:

• overly sensitive: feeling like everyone and everything is attacking you; or everything   feels like the final straw that will break you; and eventually going into survival mode

• self-centered: only able to see things from your own point of view—not recognizing that other people have very real feelings and emotions too

• insecure: feeling like we are being judged by everyone for our every move

• addiction to drama: creating wild (or even mild) stories in our own mind about why he/she did or said what they did. 

• acting rashly: making hasty decisions and even flying off the handle

The good news is, we don’t have to live that way!

Below are some tips to help you break free from self-preservation mode. Pick one or two to focus on. You will find yourself more grounded with your emotions, even during tough situations.

1. Connect with God. Ask him to show you what you are doing or not doing that is creating your situation.

2. Connect with yourself. Get to know the real you—the you that God knows.

3. Connect with others. And learn to share your feelings in healthy ways. 

4. Exercise. Moving the body is healing for physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, and energetic health. 

5. Eat nourishing foods. Healing foods are good for so much more than just the physical body—they also have many mental, emotional and spiritual benefits.

6. Hydrate well. We are made of a large percentage of water. We need water to function well on all levels.

7. Improve your sleep habits. Tiredness and high emotions don’t mix well. Getting enough rest is necessary for all around health.

8. Breathe. Focusing on your breathing can change everything!

9. Have fun! Do something everyday that you enjoy. Even if it’s only for 5 minutes. This can be incredibly healing

10. Reframe the stories you tell yourself. Your perception is your truth. And someone else’s perception is their truth. The real Truth lies somewhere in between. Evaluate your story. Question your story. Take responsibility for your part. Find the blessings. Rewrite the story in a positive light.

11. Clear emotions regularly. See the Dose of Enlightenment below to get started :)

Since we promised to treat you to an extra dose of light in your inbox, we include a Dose of Enlightenment for you at the end of each newsletter. We value your agency, so it’s up to you whether or not you receive it!

This Dose of Enlightenment is a frequency equation meant to clear a hidden and trapped emotion that you’ve been holding onto. 

If today's emotion is one that we have already cleared, know that we are addressing a different layer or situation this time.

*******************************************************

Today’s emotion is: distorted emotions

How does this emotion apply to you? For best results, ponder this question and identify how distorted emotions applies to you.

Dose of Enlightenment: 146 + 854 = E

Say it out loud with intent: “one-forty-six plus eight-fifty-four equals enlightenment.”

Breathe. Let it go. Feel the shift. Allow your body to be filled with light.
