Embodying Equanimity: Response and Reaction Behavior
Good news alert: It’s not your job to respond to everything and everybody.
Do your reactions (or behavior) towards outside stimuli get the best of you at times or all the time?
How free and empowered are you, energetically, spiritually, and vibrationally, when responding to circumstances, other people’s energy, challenges, and those pop-up ‘triggering’ life moments?
Highly sensitive people and empaths can become highly reactive to life and energy and often unknowingly or unintentionally over-respond to life and experiences, including other people, and other people's stuff. Other people’s energy, behavior, feelings, projections, short-comings, choices, moods, and updates can become a trigger that feels personal.
Challenging life circumstances can become overwhelming and even a major distraction to highly sensitive and highly reactive people while on the path to peace, success, healing, growth, transformation, and higher manifestation. The feeling of being stuck in dense energy and triggered emotions is real to HS and HR people.
This is an area I spent years trapped in, but praise be, I did the inner and outer work to overcome and evolve from this exhausting timeline and way of living.
Why is life, in general (or the people around me) so triggering and distracting, you might wonder at times? A short answer is, it’s due to conscious and subconscious programming.
We live in times that encourage and entice us to react to just about everything and everyone. This type of culture only enforces overstimulation, projection energy, and mental stress. Reacting to less is not about being dismissive; it’s how we take our mental wellness (and power) back.
Constantly feeling the need to respond, react, snapback, or explain yourself to people, as well as take things personally, can each be primary reasons you feel exhausted, burned out, irritated, and overstimulated. Your responses are energy outputs, so it’s best to use them wisely. Equanimity: is how you take your power and energy back.
Centering yourself in peace, composure, energetic sovereignty, and higher vibrations, no matter who or what you are exposed to, or go through, is possible. I’ll share how I, a highly sensitive and empathic person, and a recovering highly reactive person, cracked this major code in my personal life. Cracking this code changed the game: on all levels!! Happy and relieved exhale!
These particular areas of self-development and embodiment work to free you, raise your vibration, and increase your magnetism, and it’s healing too; it’s a subconscious mind detox and upgrade. Hello, new higher timeline and higher potential self!!
