Expanding Your Awareness

<aside> <img src="/icons/reorder_blue.svg" alt="/icons/reorder_blue.svg" width="40px" /> Due to our large brains (as humans), we are capable of thinking about problems, reliving past events, and forecasting future situations—producing mind-created stress.

The kicker: Your body doesn't know the difference between these real and mind-created events.

These thoughts trigger a chemical reaction called an emotion; which furthers feeds your thoughts.

This emotional-thought loop can chain you into a psychological prison or set you free into an etherial state of healing and growth.

By accepting future dreams as your current reality you set into motion a cascade of emotional and physiological responses that reflect this reality as your “now”.

Embracing these emotions before the event takes place also alters your genetic expressions making your body change biologically to be aligned with that future.

On the flip side, you may find yourself addicted to the very emotions that keep you in a state of survival, pushing the genetic buttons that causes inflammation and disease.

For a cell to make a protein, a gene must be expressed: These proteins are the building blocks of life.

Your emotional state alters gene expression.

Meaning, you can “turn on” genes for healing and growth. Likewise for inflammation and disease.

How Emotional States Are Felt

<aside> <img src="/icons/light-bulb_blue.svg" alt="/icons/light-bulb_blue.svg" width="40px" /> In the same way that your emotional state alters the body’s chemistry and gene expression, the vibrational frequency radiating from your body also alters.

This is why you can feel someone’s emotional state.

Fear, grief or shame move slowly and have low vibrational frequency.

Willingness, acceptance and contentment move faster and are called middle-vibration emotions.

Love, joy, peace, and gratitude are high vibration emotions.

I’ve personally practiced Daily Priming Practice l in bouts of 1 year+

1. FOCUS: Establish your primary focus for the day
2. GRATITUDE: List 3 things that you are grateful for, establishing a whole-body feeling and heightened awareness of each
3. AFFIRMATION: “Everything is falling into place”, “I am exactly where I should be”, “I am born to fulfil this purpose” — some of my favourites (repeat each in your head until you identify with them)
4. GOALS: Write down your primary goals/objectives for Your Next Move, see Visions To Action Funnel | This activates the reticular activating system, forcing you to tackle your day through the lens of your goals
5. TASKS: Create a to-do list, or refer to the tasks in your Notion </aside>
