Are You In Survival Mode?

I believe that one of the most profound statements that I have ever considered is there are two (2) ways to do anything and everything.

One way to take action is from a state of authentic wealth and abundance. From this state of being, you have the freedom to choose and to experience whatever you truly want with passion, joy, gratitude, and fulfillment.  You can look for resources beyond the familiar. Your response to adversity, conflict, and change will have you be open and resourceful.

Your attention will be focused on solutions. You will feel confident as you move towards creating what you desire. You will feel connected and be in a rich, harmonious partnership with life. You embrace who or whatever shows up challenging and see them as a positive opportunity for your growth and freedom, not as an obstacle or an enemy.

By contrast, the second way to take action is from your survival mode. This costs you the ability to freely choose from an abundant source of possibilities and to see your many options. Your survival mode closes you down. You experience life from a place of fear, anxiety, stress, and resistance. Your relationships with people and things, including money, become mere life ropes to your survival.  This is where you find yourself holding on tight and wanting to control situations or people, including yourself. You need, like life and death, the thing you believe you cannot lose, therefore, your habitual survival reactions dominate your behaviors.

Often when we experience sudden changes in the areas of our health, finances, career, or in our significant relationships, personally and professionally, our fight, flight, or freeze, survival reactions can be triggered and automatically overtake us, preceding our better judgment.

Our attachments to circumstances, people, and things are places where we are being controlled by our threats. Do your outer circumstances tend to have this controlling affect on you, throwing you into a reality of lack, limitation, and fear, regardless of your positive thinking?

What are you really worried about losing; your business, clients, love from your spouse or significant other, your health, reputation, current employment, or your money? Feel the truth. Remember, you can’t fool Mother Nature.  Fear demands your attention, whether you admit to it or not! Acting like everything is fine when you deeply don’t believe it fools only yourself.

Perceived or actual threats will command your attention over your desires and dreams, hands down, every time.  How you respond to any given situation reveals the state of being that you   are in and the essence of your actions. Your state of being influences your results more than the actions that you take. So, how are you currently being in response to your finances, your business, or your career; from a state of wealth and abundance or from a state of survival?

As a teacher and student of Universal Principles, and knowing their power in our lives, I continue to place a strong emphasis on freeing up our focus and attention. Why? Because the Law of Attraction, for example, responds to our dominant attention which is influenced by our hidden beliefs and the meanings that we give to everything!  Therefore, it is up to us to discover  the meanings that we have given to our circumstances and the assumptions that we hold to be true. Most likely, they’re not true at all. If we don’t become aware, nothing will change.

No problem! Updating your inner belief system does not have to be difficult, particularly when you know how to do it. You can learn how to diffuse your perceived threats and bring yourself to a place of power and courage in the face of your current circumstances, which previously seemed threatening.  This is done within the process of self discovery. The relief and strength from doing this is immense!

Each person has a different threshold for pain, and a different idea about what seems threatening.  You must know what is yours! Be mindful of keeping your attention on what you are doing. Notice when it becomes hijacked, particularly when addressing your financial matters.

Keep wealth and abundance as a priority and remember why you want to be wealthy.
