Thrive and Awaken® Tip

Survival emotions such as fear, anxiety, and anger are wired into our brains. They are automatically activated when we feel threatened. Thank you, ancestors, for developing those qualities and passing them along.

We’re also wired to thrive. It’s natural to want to feel good. We have the capacity to be wise, compassionate, and quite creative-which all feel enlivening and fulfilling.

Because surviving is paramount, it takes over and interferes with our thriving. Frequently we need to be more conscious in choosing to thrive rather than getting lost in the survival default.

Awakening for a small number of people can be spontaneous. For most of us, it requires even greater consciousness and intentionality. It also is wired in, because awakening is merely the recognition of who we really are. You are an amazing manifestation of the creative life-force energies of greater reality!
