THE HYPNOTIC SOUL

Awareness Is The First Step

2/16/2018

With any issues in our lives having awareness of the issue is the first step to healing yourself.

When alcoholics get sober in the AA program, Step One is "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol - that our lives had become unmanageable"

This step can be applied to so many issues in our daily lives: financial, family, job, relationship/friendship and health, what are your stressors? Are you aware they are causing you stress?

So easy, so difficult.

How many of us have been in that relationship, job, family situation, health issue or substance abuse cycle and just find ourselves doing the same thing over again, and reacting the same each time?

Albert Einstein said, "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, but expecting different results." Are we all insane?

I doubt we are all insane...Yet we continue to do things because there are two factors that have been programed in our brain:

1. Millions of years of "flight, fight or freeze" programming,
our ancestors had to run from wild animals a lot! This system also known as the sympathetic nervous system programed our brain.  2. We have experienced trauma as children and adults that has not been worked on, so we have more triggers to sympathetic mode, our coping mechanisms haven't learned to relax, calm and know we are ok if we try something different.
