The Only Way Out…Is Through
RESILIENCE AND RETRIBUTION IN MODERN DAY
Sometimes silent battles become so loud that your presence is inevitable, and there’s no running. Where you are forced to face fears that change the trajectory of your life. Sometimes you are faced with the unpredictable. Life or death. Protecting yourself or saving others. Fighting back or staying silent. No one asks for these circumstances, but when you’re faced with something that you can’t escape from, the present moment can be so jarring. Time doesn’t exist, and you are forced to experience a nightmare that you never asked for. It can be paralyzing. I want to open your perspective to some ways you can prepare yourself for the unpredictable, and how to use resilience to overcome any obstacle.
Unless you have prophetic abilities or something there is no predicting everything in your future. This is a scary thought, but here’s how you can use it to your advantage. The lowest frequency on Earth is fear. Many religions and scientific theories/evidence touch base on this, and I would even argue that they prove it. On the other end, love is the highest frequency. I understand it’s easier said than done when you’re faced with something that absolutely terrifies you. But if you can come to a point of neutrality or contentment in how you view the situation, it transmutes a lot of the heavy emotions and can help you see things clearly to make the best decisions in the present moment. I wouldn’t say you need to “prepare for the worst” , but putting yourself in uncomfortable situations and being able to make quick decisions can really benefit your long term thinking skills. Uncomfortable means a lot of different things to people. Doing what is tolerable and safe, but also challenging is the most beneficial way to try this out. Many people do cold plunge baths where they see how long they can tolerate the freezing temperatures. Some people like to challenge their physical bodies though workouts, running, sports, etc. Others enjoy learning new languages, or challenging themselves to a new skill. The point is to keep doing things that put you out of your comfort zone because when you get through the “uncomfortable” on a daily basis, it becomes less uncomfortable. A personal example I have of this is living in NYC. I didn’t realize how much I used my car and how that shaped my everyday routines until I moved to the city. I feel like it’s definitely a MISSION to do everyday tasks, and it wasn’t something I was used to at first. I’m going to be so real right now I was kind of lazy before living in New York. The convenience of driving everywhere definitely made it easier to do whatever made me feel the most comfortable. Sometimes I would drive to the gym and when I got to the parking lot I would sit there and convince myself out of it. In NYC when I leave the house there’s no going back. Especially in the colder months, it’s not really an option to change my mind because once I’m out the door I don’t want to walk back up the flights of stairs LMAO. Once I found a routine that worked for me it made it easier for me to follow through with tasks that were uncomfortable. This built up my confidence, and even if something unpredictable happens I have worked on my response to those things, and can react quickly. Another example of this is when I first solo traveled. It was scary going out of the country alone for the first time, but it prepared me for real life situations that I wouldn’t have learned in the safe little communities I lived in Minnesota. I talked about this a bit in my Cancun post, but I had a few scary experiences while being there and revealed too much information because I wasn’t prepared. This put me in a dangerous position because this was my first time solo traveling. I had to make quick decisions to feel safe again, and even though I didn’t want those experiences to happen, that is the risk of traveling alone. I didn’t solo travel to purposefully put myself in danger, but now I’m really good at quick decisions and problem solving. Sometimes you have to get creative with certain people because some people are literally psychopaths and can see right through you trying to protect yourself. In conclusion, going out of your comfort zone can help you to expand your confidence to make faster decisions, and better problem solving skills that can be useful when you are faced with a challenging, unexpected situation.
Resilience and retribution are the fundamentals of surviving the world’s worst. Your confidence needs to be so strong and unwavering that no matter what happens you know that your truth will never be able to be taken from you. Even if they tried to, what’s done in the dark always comes to light. It’s quite literally the laws of physics. Energy can not be created nor destroyed, only transformed. Transmuting your heavy, dark emotions by raising your vibration will ultimately clear the way for you to experience the light. This is kind of shown in religions, because when people go through something dark, they will pray. When you pray you let God handle it and this transmutes how you view your situation because you have unwavering faith that everything will work out.
In quantum computing, qbits of information translate to either 1 or 0. Now hear me out…this sort of relates to how light can’t exist without darkness because they both compare two different energies or outcomes. 1 could represent “light” and 0 could represent “dark”. Similarly to the Yin and Yang in Taoism beliefs. That might have sounded a bit confusing, but life is always going to happen. The good and the bad. They cannot exist without the other in our human experience. But knowing that, you can shift your energy to find balance in whatever you need. It has been proven that thoughts can shift your reality (which also relates to praying if you are religious) so by focusing your attention on what it is you want to experience, and acting as if, transmutes the unwanted. For example, I’ve been in situations where I had to learn how to stand up for myself because no one else would. I needed a lot of strength to do this, but I felt weak. I created an alter ego (stay with me now LOL) that would help me, and with practice I became strong. I have a lot of religious trauma, so for awhile I gave up on praying. Whenever I needed strength I would act as my alter ego to get through what I needed. If I was faced with a problem I would try to go to my vision of how my alter ego would react to the situation, and then I would shift my actions to match that. It was hard at first but the more I practiced, the more confident I felt. It took the pressure off of reacting as “myself” and instead gave me courage to be the person who I wished would protect me. I also like to think of my situations through my childhood lens and how I would protect my child self in the present moment. Because sometimes things happen and I feel like I’m a 4 year old again going through that trauma. By using an alter ego that is protective, resilient, and safe, it helped me to shift my perspective and made me stronger than I could’ve ever imagined.
In times of great fear, you have the opportunity to choose who you want to be. Never forget your ability to transform <3
