Are You Letting Your Buttons Be Pushed?
Mar 27, 2024One of the fundamental actions you can do when creating your great life is to heal your past wounds. This stops energy leaks and allows you to move forward as a more loving and centered person.
We come into this world as a wholesome entity. Then, through our upbringing, we are taught that we aren’t good enough. We have flaws – our nose is too big, we don’t wear the right clothes, our lips are too small, and our way isn’t the right way. The list goes on and on. This wasn’t done to spite us, it’s just what our parents/guardians/teachers knew at that time and passed on to us.
Sheesh!
Unless you start healing these old wounds, they continue to affect you because they’re part of the background dialog inside your head. You’ve been telling yourself this story for a very long time, and are probably unaware of it. This story defines YOU (in your eyes), and is preventing you from soaring and creating your Great Life.
A good indication that you’ve got some unresolved issues (wounds), is when someone says something to you and you have a negative reaction WAAAAAYYYYY out of proportion to the comment.
Your button has just been pushed.
An unconscious reaction would be to lash back at the other person - an automatic response you’ve learned over the years. After all, they did assault you - at least in your mind. The problem with this approach is that they didn’t assault you – they were just speaking their truth and it triggered an old wound within you. You were unconsciously reacting to an old hurt that doesn’t even logically affect you in today’s world.
So – what do you do now?
To consciously redefine yourself and create your Great Life, become conscious in the moment and realize your buttons have been pushed. The person who unwittingly made the comment that pushed your button is actually your teacher. They’re giving you the opportunity to increase your personal power, grow, and move forward in creating your Great Life.
To heal this wound, and grow as a person, requires a little self-love and appreciation. Take a few moments to explore this wound/hurt, and get the details. Go back to the underlying moment and relive it. Consciously forgive those who inadvertently wounded you, forgive them, and create a new story about yourself that is current and more loving and powerful. Repeat your new story until it’s automatic – it’s part of your new definition of YOU..
Creating your Great Life is a personal mission - no one’s going to do it for you.
