Can you think of a situation where you have identified your survival instinct taking control over you?

Can you think of a situation where you have identified your survival instinct taking control over you?

Yesterday I got a text from somebody very close to me. Complicated connection with a LOT of emotions involved. The text could be interpreted as good or bad.

Normally I see those texts as bad, get all emotional and stressed, so I distance myself from the person.

Yesterday I felt the text as good, loving and caring, so I did not try to escape. My gut instinct is changing.

And only now, with the new instict, I can see how unproductive and distorted my old reactions were. It was completely impossible to analyse myself earlier, when I was in fight or flight – mode, I was paralysed.

But it takes a new perception on a higher level, otherwise we are stuck in survival.

It happens most of the time each and every day. The only question is to what extent it take over. I find that getting exposed to positive and uplifting messages/things really helps balance things out and also help with controlling my toughts and emotions when the negative rushes in.

Too many to count.  Unfortunately, we’re raised to not pay attention to our “gut feeling.”  Or I should say, that’s how it worked out for me.  I have a difficult time “trusting” my instincts, but I’ve gotten better at it, simply by looking back over the course of my life and identifying each and every time something really bad happened and remembering that YES, my intuition……my instinct was dead on, trying to warn me of danger.  When it happens now, I slow down and give myself time to let the universe show me why another person is unsafe.  And in a heightened sense of panic…..lol, I steer clear of those folks without hesitation.
