Shift from ASAP to ASAC.
You get the text or email from them, and
… it’s the internal resisting
… the mental scripting
… the hover that leads to not ‘simply answering’ … so you can keep scripting and beat yourself up for not answering 😒 (which is different than being aligned and allowing a non-response to BE the response, and releasing it all from there …)
You don’t have to stay in self imposed-comfortable-familiar internal jail 🤍
It’s the pause
That nanosecond …
Pause 🤍
Soften
Breathe
Have some water
and check in with yourself
answer ASAC
As Soon As Centered
answer ASAG
As Soon As Grounded
Then … in a very aligned, intentional way, respond and get it off your shoulders
OR
Don’t respond, and that is a response 🙏🏼
This IS fully connected to ‘convenient’ self sabotage with …
🤍Emotional eating
🤍Stress eating
🤍Not exercising
🤍Sleeping all wonky
🤍Drinking more than you want to
🤍Not ever reaching ‘that’ goal or intention of a decluttered house
🤍Extra-feeling, continuous stress at work
🤍Your relationship being so testy and off
🤍People owing you thousands of dollars …
Because when you freeze, when you hover, when you tense up internally in reaction to that text or email … you “get to” stay in the same stress response ‘stuck’ place that’s so comfortably-uncomfortably familiar.
🙏🏼🤍🙏🏼
