Almost without realizing it we live in a situation of continuous stressworried about the past or a threatening future, whose origins go back to a childhood where our most basic needs were not satisfied, such as our need to be close to our mother’s body.
This activates our attention in the Big Three: in the body, in the environment and in time and thus we live in a continuous state of survival.
Disengage and gain available energy
The great side effect of disidentifying from the survival emotions stored in your memory is the release of energy in the body.
As soon as you release those emotions associated with your past, the power returns so you can use it to create your new reality. Some of the survival emotions that you may be addicted to are:
- The insecurity
- Hatred
- The judgments
- Victimism
- The Worry
- The guilt
- The Depression
- The shame
- Repentance
- The suffering
- the frustration
- The fear
- The sadness
- The Aversion
- The envy
- The wrath
- The Resentment
- The Lack
Identify your darker side
if you want to be free you need to first identify what emotions you are (and have been) addicted to to be able to move on to dismemorize them from your self and that they no longer limit you.
After, identify your state of mind, what you believe or think when you feel like this: were you overwhelmed, desperate, touchy, too cerebral, in need of recognition? When your thoughts, ideas and emotions stop being unconscious and you pay attention to them, you break the chains that tied you to them.
Choose an emotion and write about it
Write what comes to your head and body. You can choose to work with an emotion, but neurologically and chemically all emotions are linked.
For example, when you are angry, you are frustrated, and when you are frustrated, you hate; when you hate, you judge, you envy, you feel insecure; when you feel insecure you are competitive, and when you are competitive you feel selfish…
All of these emotions derive from the same combined survival chemicals that stimulate related limiting states of mind. I mean stress hormones such as cortisol, glucagon, prolactin or the three sex hormones: estrogen, progesterone and testosterone.
free people too
maybe you are tied to someone who constantly reminds you of who you were, emotionally linking you to your known self. By chemically feeding your body back with the substances that are familiar to it.
For example, if you hate someone, this hate keeps you emotionally attached to this person and in turn reinforces your old personality. You use this person to stay addicted to hate.
Meditate and go in search of nature
That will help you live away from the state of survival to which your body has become addicted, feeling closer to your natural state of being.
