I’d like to take you on an introspective journey inspired by a recent eye doctor appointment with my mother. When we came across a humorous sequence of letters on the vision chart, what began as a normal exam became a source of pure joy. My mom’s laughter was contagious, and it reminded me of the energy we assign to the little things in life.
Some moments trigger humor, while others may bring stress—but the choice of how we perceive them is always ours.
In this episode, we’ll slow down for a wise walk and ask ourselves important questions to explore how we can turn triggers into opportunities for growth, laughter, and connection.
-
- Are there situations in your life, or words or phrases, that trigger you positively or negatively?
- What energy are you assigning to those things?
- Do you have the opportunity to reevaluate and ask why they trigger you?
- Can you shift that energy and see them from a different perspective?
- Are there qualities or characteristics people call out about you?
- Have those comments ever triggered you negatively because they challenged your sense of normalcy?
- Are you still allowing their energy to define how you see those qualities?
- Can you thank someone for acknowledging a unique part of you and embrace it as a strength?
- Is there an opportunity to make peace with those qualities, assign them positive energy, and appreciate your uniqueness?
- Are there things, words, people, or places that once held a negative connotation for you?
- Is there an opportunity to see them from a different, unique perspective?
- Can you free yourself from past associations so they no longer hold power over you?
- Where can you find the positive light and assign a radiant new perspective to those things or situations?
Thank you for joining me today. My wish for you as you stride forward is to hold good intentions in your heart, assign energies that uplift you, and embrace the clarity and awareness that supports your journey. I’d love to hear what resonated with you from today’s episode.
I’ll see you next Thursday for another Wise Walk, so be sure to tune in. Until then, prioritize fun, read the signs, direct your path, and get your stride on!
In this episode:
[04:06] The different meanings or energetic values we place on things. When I was young I would get triggered when people said certain things about me, but now I embrace my differences.
[05:36] We don’t have to assign that energy if we don’t want to. We can reframe how we think about things.
[06:10] We don’t have to accept other people’s negative vibes as our own. I love the idea of being intentional about the energy we assign things.
[09:07] We don’t have to assign negative energy to things from our past. For instance, some people are triggered by flowers because of the negative connotation of receiving them when someone’s apologizing.
[11:25] Our state of mind can also affect how we assign energy.
[12:21] Show up with a high vibration in order to receive positive messages.
[13:40] Be aware of the energy that you are projecting.
[16:16] Think about where we can reassign energy and meaning to things that might not be said with the right intention.
