Quick emotional guide: Five key emergency emotional survival steps

The following steps are critical to help with emotional emergencies. Read and follow them and your life will change quickly and get you back on track. That’s all that’s happening here. You are simply off track. Just like being thirsty, or hungry, your spirit is starving— so let’s get that nourished quickly. But first— STOP. Simply stop the energy flow right away. And know this is temporary, will pass, and you will come out stronger after you read this guide.

ONE: Remember it’s a lie

Your real Self is void of anything negative, destructive, bad, violent, harmful, or misery-provoking. If you were meant to be that way, you’d be born that way— and as you know, you are not. This is all collective and experientially learned behavior that also ties into your unique traits, personality, and biological aspects. So it’s important to first understand that it’s a lie. Your ego (Edge God Out) is making you think you are miserable. Your not. It’s a confusing and deceptive lie.

  • It’s not real— only your true, God-made Self is

  • Remember—You are not broken, you are not bad, and you will not die.

  • Your ancient fight or flight, fear, and survival tactics still exist in us, we must recognize that and use modern logic to say “thanks, but no thanks.”

  • Biological functions sometimes confuse our psychology, be aware of that. Chemicals that affect our state of consciousness. We interpret that sometimes as a “problem.” It often is not.

  • Key point: It won’t last. No storm lasts. It always ends and changes. Change is a rule of life. All things change.

  • The lie is that it is bad, and it is forever. It’s the biggest lie there is. It will not last.

  • The feeling of “wanting to die” is only the false Ego self that feels that way. The recognizing spirit that even sees there’s an issue is the real you. The one recognizing it… get it? Some part of you has to be seeing it and communicating it. That, is your spiritual Self. The REAL you!

  • Remember that most of the suffering is in the mind… through thoughts. It’s not an actual tangible object. Thoughts are the issue.

  • Remember also that you own your thoughts. No blame of yourself or anyone else. Just simply stand up, brush yourself off, and take control of the ship—now!

TWO: Go back to center

Remember always that you are a spiritual being experiencing life in a human form (a name that we gave it). Spirit first. That’s important to understand. At least imagining that helps you see the bigger picture. Your eyes, ears, feelings, moods, etc… are all perception devices that helped you survive, thrive, and pass on DNA. It’s your spiritual center that’s important. That balanced center that you were born into. Like an un-flickering candle.

  • Your center is beautiful. It’s lovely, relaxing, happy, and balanced. Go THERE.

  • You were born on that center. It’s there. Simply return to it.

  • You are merely off track. That’s all.

  • When you are on center, you can’t feel bad. It’s impossible. Center means with God, with your true nature. Go there.

THREE: Go back to basics first

We often neglect our basics. What we eat, drink, smell, touch, taste, think, and physically do to our bodies have a huge impact on our psychology. Often doctors overlook this simple principle. What have you been eating? Do you drink fresh quality fluids? Are you deficient in, and taking vitamins? Are you exercising— enough, and correctly?

  • Start by eating good, quality food

  • Drinking the right things

  • Not smoking, not drinking alcohol (at ALL!), no vaping, no weed—none of it! It all affects the mind and body— period. No exceptions whatsoever. You wouldn’t give it to a baby, so why would you take it?

  • Take a multivitamin. Magnesium, vitamin D, and B are critical, and often are lacking in foods we eat. Vitamin D is critical for emotional health. So it’s fresh fish oil.

  • Sleep as best you can, or rest as often as you can— balance of rest and movement

  • Pray. Become spiritual. Find a church, or website, or Youtube channel that can inspire you spiritually. Feeding your mind with God’s love, wisdom, and other inspired works can work from the inside out

  • Avoid the news. No negativity at all. Period. You don’t need the news at all. I you need to know, you’ll eventually find out. Avoid negatively at all costs. It’s sticky, it’s unhealthy.

  • Consider meditation, TaiChi, or yoga. It soothe the soul.

  • Exercise. But correctly. Not too much, not too little. Move the body even a little at a time. Don’t be afraid to sweat and get breathing heavy sometimes. But don’t overdo.

  • Think good thoughts always. When yo find yourself thinking poorly, correct it quickly.

FOUR: Access your toolkit

You need to be prepared like any emergency. Have a survival plan. Start with this guide and then, have your own kit prepared and ready to go.

  • Access beautiful Youtube videos like this one: https://youtu.be/UcMzAaLArnA

  • Have spiritual books on hand, like Wayne Dyer, Joyce Myer, Eckhart Tolle, and others. Research them on Youtube and watch them as frequently as possible.

  • Review this guide! And ACT on all of it.

  • Give your self space. Permission to feel good. No one else can give it. Just you.

  • Seek, attract, and hang out with only positive, loving, kind, caring people— but always be the same to everyone else.

  • Give your self as much SELF love as possible. Love yourself deeply, and give your self as much nurturing and love and kindness as you can.

  • As you ALLOW yourself back on track, watch your joy unfold gently, beautifully, confidently…

  • Smile, relax, and enjoy each and every delicious moment. Focus on gratitude for each and every small thing.

  • Know your triggers. Get to know them intimately so you can recognize them before they drag you off center.

  • Remember this: I live in a Divinely Inspired Universe. I have nothing to fear. I trust in myself, and when I do so, I trust in the very Wisdom that created me.

FIVE: Using your powerful imagination

We are given a beautiful gift of imagination. It’s what allows us to dream, to imagine ideas, to create, to contemplate and develop solutions and all the wonderfully miraculous things in this world. When awake, we can consciously choose to dream alive. That’s right. You can actively create your world with a simple, free, and powerful thought process. So use your imagination to help shape your beautiful world.

  • Define your own beautiful world. What do you want it to look like?

  • Seek others that inspire. Seek what they sought. Be it Jesus, Ghandi, Buddha, or Muhammad. Or maybe an author, podcaster, or otherwise. Then, become your own guru! Start now.

  • Imagine beautiful angel wings rising behind you and lifting you up

  • Imagine sitting next to Jesus (or who you believe in) and feeling warm, loved, and comfortable. Then bring that feeling into your real active world.

  • Create mini-challenges. Like, “today, only today I will seek gratitude for everything” and fill each day with outward actions that shape each day.

  • Hang up inspirational quotes and things that bring joy to you.

  • Imagine who else you can help. Sometimes helping others is the key!

  • Imagine a spirit is watching over you and protecting you (which it really is). Allow it to flow through you, around you, and shape you…
