AUTHENTIC LIVING: Living Truth in Peace.

When you feel like shutting it all down

1/24/2023

Here's what you can do...

When the emotions are coming on so strong and you want to erupt or shut down, rather than resist them... let them out!

Often, instead of experiencing our emotions, we get so scared of what will come of them, that we try to repress or deny them. 

In the end, those emotions will eventually come to the surface, but after having repressed them, they will erupt in a much less welcome way. 

We may start...

* Acting out. Snapping at people over the littlest things.
* Giving the silent treatment, because we're so upset or hurt and haven't processed our emotions
*Becoming physically violent, because we don't have other healthy tools to deal with our emotional upset
* Experiencing disease, chronic illness, panic attacks or other physical manifestations of our unprocessed emotional pain


Every time we stuff or deny an emotion, we add fuel to the fire of our inner unrest.

That's why INNER ACTIVATION is such an amazing approach. It unlocks massive mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual energy that's been begging for expression and release. 

It allows you to see yourself with clarity, and with that new awareness, you can take new actions.

In my life, I'm managing so many things that there are bound to be times where things go off track.

I've often experienced the desire to want to shut it all down. And I do! Sometimes I give in to the feeling for just a moment, or a few minutes. Other times, it takes me longer to move through. But always, when I give myself the space the feelings pass.

Two things are essential: 

1) Allow yourself to experience your emotions. Don't avoid, deny, or repress your feelings. They'll just wreak more havoc later. Find a safe space to offload and feel.

2) Have a plan to get back on track. This is where and why it's crucial to have a vision for the life you want. You need a reason to move forward so you don't stay stuck where you are. Those heavy emotions can take over and keep you shut down for good (or for a really long time!), if you don't have a vision to pivot to and pull you through.

That's the point of having a support system in place or being part of a program. It will help you to move through the rough times and leverage the energy of the good. As a result you can positively move through your emotions and keep creating and spreading more goodness in the world.

So when you want to shut it all down, give yourself a break.

Pause for a moment.

Literally, take a breath.

Take whatever time you can give yourself, even if it means taking a breath now and scheduling more time later.

Rather than just being focused on pushing through and denying your experience, make space to be true to you.

Your feelings matter. Just don't allow them to take the reins of your life without careful contemplation and intention.

A wild stallion is no good to itself, but a stallion with clear focus, direction and vision is unstoppable and a beauty to behold.

You got this! 


This is your life.

Go be your best you!


In love and light,
Debra

The UPSIDE of Intentional Living

1/14/2023

0 Comments

 
I was reflecting on how I don’t nearly talk enough about INTENTION, though it’s at the root of my business and everything I do. (I kind of take for grated that everyone knows the importance of Intentional Living).

Then I suddenly got an email that said:
  •  I want my time to be intentional. 
  •  I want my programs to be intentional. 
  •  My energetic practices to be intentional. 
  •  The mentors I hire to be intentional.

That’s my word for 2023: 
Intentional. 
 
I thought YEESSSS!!!!  

I got so excited thinking this person is setting themselves up for an AWESOME year!  

They’re just about to really find out, but I absolutely know that when you live intentionally, it changes your whole life. 

You get more of everything you want. Not by accident, but because you feel more aligned and alive, and you take actions that are a reflection of that energy.

Being intentional creates excitement about taking positive action in your life. 

You think clearer. 

You’re more confident.  

You make better decisions.

You use your time better.

You sleep better. 

Not only do you enjoy your experience of life more, you get more of the results you want.

Plus, you're more grateful for those results, which leads to even more enjoyment! 

It’s like magic.

Those are the results I’d love to see happen for you.

That’s a big reason why I created a business called iNTETNION first.

So this year, I want to invite you to make Intentional your word for the year too.

Or at least to intentionally choose a word for the year that will incite you to live with intention.

Go ahead and ask yourself: How can I bring more INTENTION to my life? 

(It may just start by choosing your word for the year).

There's a huge upside to living intentionally, so make this the year you do it if you're not doing it already.

Get excited for all the goodness coming for you
.

Happy INTENTIONAL 2023! 

 
In love and light, 
Debra

​P.S.
 If one of your intentions this year is to get aligned with the most clear, confident, energized you and experience new levels of success…

The INNER ACTIVATION Retreat is happening January 20-22, and that’s what we’ll be making happen together! I’d love to have you join us for this once-a-year event.
