Is it just me, or has the fear-fuel been cranked up to eleven lately?
I gave up regular news reading years ago - now, I’m feeling the pull to step back from Instagram and FB too. Instead of a place to catch-up with friends or watch cat videos, I just feel like I'm a commodity and an audience to shouty people who think they 'know' what the future holds. It's never a good future either, and always wrapped in opaque conspiratorial hushed tones (I'll share more in my next video, don't forget to like and hit follow!).
I'm done with people seeding fear, hate and loathing and I'm done with organisations making fear-based choices instead of values-based ones (what the fracking??). When I feel fearful, I don't THINK CLEARLY, I make bad decisions and choices - and so does everyone else.
As you probably already know, in evolutionary terms we are wired to live in small communities of about 150 people and to only know about what's happening in the 8-mile circumference from where we live. Now we mainline 'news' and have people in our face, on our phones 24-7.
So I thought I'd share some of the things I’m doing to keep my own energy steady when the world feels hacked by fear, anger and greed (not everything everyday, just when it makes sense) - and find out what everyone else is doing to support themselves.
🩷 ditching coffee and most caffeine (still clinging to my beloved matcha, you can wrestle that out of my cold dead fingers 😂)
🩷 breathing deeply (so easy to forget would you believe?!)
🩷 remembering that thoughts are just thoughts; they rise and fade
🩷 using intuition and inner-knowing to sort what’s true and what's BS
🩷 using critical thinking to look deeper into the motivation behind what's being said, and who gets paid for saying it.
🩷 Finally (and really powerfully) - when other people's negative energies, through sheer volume, seem to be seeping into my own energetic field quietly saying: "I see you, I see this. I reject it and I send it back to its author." My mind is my domain - as is yours, and we need to guard it carefully so that nothing gets to enter without our permission.
