Might As Well Face It…We’re Addicted To Conflict!

We might as well face it...we are addicted to conflict.

We know conflict. We know anger. We know fear/anxiety. We know drama. We know arguments. We know blame and pointing fingers. We know our stance on things. We know power struggles. We know the need to be "right." And we are addicted to it.

There is a hormonal, chemical, and physiological response that is elicited every time we experience any of the above...whether in big or small portions. It does not matter.

A tract is created in the body and the more that pathway is activated, the more it becomes reinforced, ingrained, and "familiar." And because we live mostly from an unconscious place (no matter how conscious one may be) we seek triggers outside of us to continuously feed this response because we know it, and view this as necessary to our survival. That's what a pattern is. It does not matter how "healthy" it is, or how much you "like" it or "want" it. We live in the familiar.

Peace within is unfamiliar. We as a collective say we want it. And we pray for it. But subconsciously, we can only hold it for a few minutes until we relinquish it, because it is so incredibly unfamiliar to us.

We as a collective society are in such a vulnerable and fragile state for the last few years. It takes almost nothing for us to be triggered, especially these days.

So we meditate for 10 minutes a day (if that). And move on with our days experiencing triggers here and there...and then poof! The peace that was actively cultivated is gone, dissolved, and handed away just like that.

Observing this in relation to the state of the world (as well as my personality) leads me to inquiry and questions...

What is inner peace worth to you?

How much do you value it?

How does it affect your nervous system, the energy and circulation within your body, and every muscle fiber? Aka...your health?

How do we make peace the new familiar within our subconscious so that we can actually experience it consistently and see it in the world around us?

The answers to all of the questions above are within. We need to go within ourselves and heal the places that are in conflict or dys-harmony.

Our energy and vibration changes within us and around us with every little discord that we heal inside our own subconscious bodies. Every little trigger. Every little hook. Every little snag.

For me, this has been a continuous practice that I have come back to over and over again within myself. I know what this process is. I have been doing it relentlessly for nearly 2 decades. Because I know it makes a tremendous impact in regards to my: health, purpose, business, relationships, and everything around me. All of these results make it worth it to me. And there are actual tangible results that come from this inner healing.

What if that's what it takes to actually have peace in the world? For all of us to do this practice?

Imagine how that alone could affect our loved ones, and the world around us?

Is this the easy route? No. Is it painful and challenging? At times. Is there a great reward to this? Yes. Have we even ever tried this approach before? NO.

Why don't we try something new and break the cycle instead of repeating history over and over again?

I know how overwhelming it can be especially when you don't even know where to start. Allow me to guide you and hold your hand as you navigate your way through your own inner world. It would be an honor and privilege. Let's create peace together.

Let's be part of the cause instead of the effect.
