Thriving and Awakening Tip

You change Survival Mode reactions only after you are aware of them. You can’t change a feeling, thought, or behavior unless you are aware it’s not serving you anymore. Choosing how to feel, think, and behave is the core of Thriving.

However, if you are aware and disappointed with yourself for the reaction, you are now practicing disappointment. That only keeps you in Survival Mode, and that’s why it’s essential to have compassion along with the awareness.

When you are compassionate of whatever you are experiencing, it helps you be more clear-minded and heartfelt about the experience. This supports you in choosing how to respond rather than react.

Compassion and awareness are qualities of your deepest nature, so you are aligning with your Essence.
