Most people let their nervous system dictate their reality. If they wake up agitated, they stay agitated. If they get irritated, they let it ruin the day.
In this episode, we talk about a practice called “state hopping”. Think of your internal states of being—like agitation, anxiety, overwhelm, or gratitude—as physical locations on a map, complete with boundary lines. Just like you can choose to cross a county or state line in the real world, you can make the conscious choice to step out of a negative emotional state and into a positive one.
Here is what we cover in this episode:
-
The Map Metaphor: How to visualize your emotional states as a map and actively choose where you reside.
-
Physical Tracking: How to locate exactly where you feel gratitude (like your chest and around your heart) versus where you feel irritation in your body.
-
The Practice: How to sit down, unfurl your internal map, and consciously “hop” between different states of being at will.
-
The Universal Mirror: Why who you are being dictates what you emanate, and how the universe reflects that exact frequency back to you.
You probably aren’t going to nail it the first time, and that is completely fine. It takes purpose and practice. But once you learn how to consciously sit in a state of grace, you stop reacting to the world and start intentionally shaping it.
