Jamie explains what's behind all of your stress, overwhelm, & chaos, and lays out exactly what you need to do to eradicate it so that you can finally know what it's like to feel balanced, happy, confident, & free. Yes! It's possible! This episode tells you everything you need to know.
Key Highlights:
*This episode of THRIVE was inspired by a conversation that Jamie had with her psychiatrist
*When you don't allow yourself to feel your emotions & you just stuff them down, they don't "go" anywhere. They stay in your body, and then build up until one thing happens that causes the whole house of cards to crumble.
*We create stories & associations with emotions when we are little kids - toddlers. We believe that we are bad if we feel & express our emotions. So we don't. But that's what's causing all of the mayhem in your life.
*If you don't deal with things in the moment, you will continue to be triggered by that person or situation until you heal it. This is the stuff that ruins friendships. This is the stuff that kills relationships.
*Emotions are just energy in motion. Energy (e)motion. They just need to move.
*The problem is, we all have such resistance to feeling. There's a fear that we have to feel! We think that all of the shit we've suppressed is gonna come at us at once, but that's not what happens. Your body only gives you what you can handle. It never gives you anything more than you can handle.
*You're struggling because you have energetic TOXIC poison in your body. You're not allowing these emotions to move through. They just need to move through! Emotions are just neutral. They just are. There is no good or bad.
*We are energetic beings. Everything is energy that is vibrating at a certain frequency, including emotions and thoughts. (Research quantum physics if you want to dig into this).
*Love is the highest vibrating frequency - the most powerful, the most healing, & the most pure.
*Anger is an extremely powerful emotion that is a low vibrating emotion. We confuse anger with aggression so we don't allow ourselves to feel it or express it, which will create a lot of chaos & detriment in your life.
*We have a fear of feeling ANY emotion fully - even happiness - because we have stories & associations with every emotion. You are creating & perpetuating this YOURSELF.
*You can't get stuck in an emotion. You're never stuck in happiness. Everything is moving. You don't get stuck anywhere unless you believe you are. The story that you tell yourself will prove itself true every time.
*Anger is a beautiful emotion that gives us access to our creativity and passion! When you release anger you are setting yourself free!!
*Jamie shares her first experience with releasing & expressing anger. If you aren't buying it yet, you will. Jamie didn't at first either.
*Your first memory of anger is associated with aggression, but anger is not aggression.
*The only person responsible for your emotions is you. You are the creator - it came from your body and your perception of whatever triggered the emotion. The person who you think made you feel that way DIDN'T actually make that emotion. YOU did. Only YOU can create your emotions and only YOU can release & heal them.
*Trauma gets stored in the body & our subconscious creates protectors that are designed to keep you from experience that thing ever again. They're created in our childhood. Examples of common protectors are isolating yourself, criticizing yourself, making fun of yourself or being a comedian, or people pleasing.
*To heal your emotions, you have to allow yourself to feel it. All emotions need is acknowledgement. Feel it, allow yourself to be with it & feel it fully - enhance it - and then you will feel it fade into nothingness. You must understand what they're there to teach you.
*It's okay to be angry. Give it a voice. As soon as you give it a channel to come out, it will come. Let it come. It just needs to be let out.
*Stop judging yourself for feeling. The moment you step into self-judgment, you're taken out of the experience & you lose the opportunity to heal.
*If we keep lower-vibrating energies in our bodies, it lowers our personal vibration. That ends up attracting shitty things into our lives because we attract what we are. That's where the stress, overwhelm, mayhem, & chaos is coming from!!!
*Choose higher vibrating emotions & that is what you will attract.
*You can release anger through using your voice (scream, yell, cry), or use physical movement (run, dance, punch the air, punch a pillow), & you will feel it move out. It's incredible. Only YOU can do this!
*You never want to project your emotions onto anyone else. We need to take personal responsibility.
*Intentionality is the key to every single thing. What is your intention? To release the emotions & anger that are keeping your body toxic.
*This is what it means to heal. You MUST feel to heal. It's the only way.
*Jamie shares a personal experience of when she was triggered & gave herself space to understand what was underneath it & heal it in the moment.
*You will be triggered in very unexpected ways & at very unexpected times. You will be flooded with emotionality - let it come out. Identify what needs to be healed. And then you can heal it. Most things that need healed stem from our childhood. Things will remind you of that first experience, & that is the experience that needs healed.
*When you first begin to feel, you need to know that you're safe. You're so safe.
*You will be amazed at how your life changes instantaneously when you release trapped emotions. You will feel a visceral difference in your body.
*Pain gets passed down from generations. You aren't just carrying YOUR pain. You're carrying the pain of your parents, your grandparents, & their parents that hasn't yet been healed. It's not just YOUR healing. You're healing for all of the people who came before you AND for your future (or current) kids.
*When you heal & release pain & emotions that are trapped, you will know exactly what you are releasing because you'll see it in your mind's eye.
*Explore your own anger. When you unlock anger, you unlock everything that's with that. Ask your body to show you what's there for you to release. Journal on it & see what comes out.
*Healing gets to be FUN! Sometimes this work feels heavy, but it doesn't HAVE to be. Everything in this world is an illusion - it's a game. Let it be fun!
