A Sign You Could Be In Survival Mode...

It was this when I completed a job , something that was important , something that was significant maybe it was a talk , maybe it was a collaboration , maybe it was creating something from scratch when it was over and I'm saying over with a great result you know clapping happy I hit a goal , whatever it may be , but it was a good outcome , a positive result .

Instead of feeling this sense of accomplishment or achievement something that drove me to want to celebrate , even relax instead I just felt relief , relief instead of accomplishment .

Is that how you feel sometimes too ? Maybe you've got something to do that feels significant and important and you complete it and it goes well . And instead of taking even a moment , a minute to celebrate , to congratulate yourself , to pause , you just feel relief and you're on to the next , on to the the next , onto the next .

I know a lot of high achieving people do this , especially women . We don't sit , we don't take a moment , we don't breathe and go wow , look at how far I've come . Look at how well that went . These are the reasons , in particular , that I feel satisfied right now . This is what I'm taking with me into my next project .

We simply feel this sense of relief that something didn't go wrong , we didn't mess up , there wasn't a colossal mistake . And now we're on to the next thing , because we have to remain busy and we're seeking the next sense

of relief . Not even achievement , not even happiness , not even satisfaction , but this sense of relief that we keep chasing . So think about this If we're constantly just seeking relief and maybe we set our goals high and we achieve them , and we feel this sense of an exhale instead of a oh , isn't this fantastic ?

What if we're going through life completely missing it ? Right ? This is true survival mode , isn't it ? I noticed this a couple of years ago , when I completed something that took me . A couple of years ago , when I completed something that took me a lot of time and effort and as soon as it was over , I was busy .

One hour later , talking about something else , planning something else , and my husband said to me he's like that was pretty epic , right ? How do you feel ? And I'm like , yeah , yeah , yeah , good . It's not always obvious , it's not always big , it's not always this significant aha moment . I'm in survival mode . Oh my , am I missing out ? It was a sense of ah .

I suppose someone else would be taking the afternoon off , someone else would be just enjoying this , somebody else would just be allowing themselves to internalize that there was a job well done and that requires a rest . A toast , a piece of cake , I don't know . Whatever it is that makes you happy . I think that it is a tragedy to go through life

thinking relief is the best thing that you can feel , thinking that relief is all there is , thinking that , yes , relief is wonderful and we know that sense of relief . Imagine you think you've lost your phone or your wallet and then you find it flooded with relief . That's wonderful .

Especially too , I think , if I've made a mistake , and then I check that I haven't . I didn't press , you know , send to all . I'm like oh phew , relief , relief is a wonderful thing to feel , and it's a wonderful thing to seek out when we feel low .

So if I feel slightly depressed , or if I feel anxious , or if I feel even bored and I can seek something that brings me relief , that's wonderful . We're going up what's called the emotional scale . According to Abraham Hicks , relief is a great thing to feel , but are we shortchanging ourselves ?

Where is a sense of accomplishment , joy , peace , satisfaction , pleasure , celebration ? My friends , if you connect with this on any level , I'm going to tell you there's more for you . There's more joy and more goodness and more pleasure that you are able to experience . It's your birthright . Joy is your birthright .

Are you selling yourself short , seeking only relief , jumping to the next thing , without pausing , without taking a moment to acknowledge how far you've come , how well you've done , how well you are doing and how good your life really is doing , and how good your life really is ? Until tomorrow , my friends , so much love and ease .
