When Life Disturbs Your Peace, Come Back to Yourself | DIVO- Ted Talks

You felt the flood of emotion and then judged yourself for not being above it, and that judgment might be the real thing keeping you stuck.⸻Quote from the Episode"You are not what happens to you. You are who you know yourself to be."⸻DescriptionI've been sitting with this idea of disturbance lately. Disturbance in the sense of your inner flame being moved by outside forces. Wind comes through, the oxygen shifts, the flame flickers. That doesn't make it less of a flame. It's still burning. And I think most of us forget that when we're in the middle of it. We think the flickering is the failure. It's not.I landed on this image that just felt right. Rumble strips. You know the ones on the highway that shake you awake when you drift? They're there to redirect your attention. Maybe the hard moments in our lives are doing the same thing. Shaking us enough to notice where we've drifted so we can recalibrate and come back to what we actually want and need. That's awareness. That's the beginning of something real.⸻A Map of WisdomHere are some of the places we go together in this talk:✦ Feeling it does not mean I failed✦ I can be shaken and still be myself✦ Disturbance can bring me back✦ I am more than what happened to me✦ What I can do now still matters⸻Markers on the Path(00:00) The Morning After the Emotional Flood(01:15) Why Judging Yourself for Feeling Is Faulty Logic(03:00) Your Inner Light and What Disturbs It(04:15) Rumble Strips and the Gift of Redirection(05:54) The Puzzle Piece You Were Always Meant to Work On⸻Something to Sit WithWhat if the next disturbance you feel is actually a rumble strip meant to help you see what you truly need right now?⸻A Restorative Step:Next time you notice yourself getting disturbed pause for sixty seconds breathe and ask what this moment is redirecting your attention toward.__________Stay Connected:🌐 DIVOWellness.com📬 Subscribe to Newsletter📍 DIVO Wellness — Greensboro, NC— 🧡 DIVO Wellness — Movement is the Way
