Ep 274: Reaction And Change - Are You Giving Away Or Retaining Your Power?

Recently, I was talking to my brother-in-law, the shaman, don Xavier, yesterday. It was just a general conversation though some things came up that we have talked about before. None of it was pointed at me but we talked about a few concepts that just may be able to have an impact in your life. 

 

Two things in particular. 1) Reactivity and 2) Nothing changes. When it comes to not changing I don’t mean it in the way you may think. In the way we talked about it here, I’m sure most listeners will find it valuable and will be able to see themselves in it.

 

In my 13-week transformation program, TCP, we spend a week on the concept of reaction. Neurologically, a reaction can be related to either a survival defense or has simply become a brain-based habit. Regardless, how often do you get yourself in trouble when you react? How often do you react and wish you could take back your reaction? How often do you react and cause fights in your relationships?

 

No matter your reactivity, when it happens in response to someone else’s behavior, you’re out of balance.

 

Next, we talked about what we allow to change us and I don’t mean overall, in the grand scheme of our life but I mean in the course of daily living.

 

When we let things change us, we give our power to the external world. The bigger caveat/message here is that it’s vital that we find impeccability in our life and that is a loss of ego, letting go of attachment, letting go of past history, and balancing the higher part of us with the lower part of us.

 

When we learn to create impeccability, the key is not to let things change us from that, no matter what happens in life.

 

Transformational Takeaway: When we react, we change based on external circumstances and we let these circumstances pull us out of our peace of mind and balance.

 

Transformational Takeaway:

The world needs those of us who desire to make it a better place. The world offers you opportunities; what you do with them is your choice.
