Be mindful that the stronger your reaction is to a particular person or situation , the more vulnerable you are . If you still feel vulnerable after you ’ ve paused , don ’ t put yourself in the situation until your protective energetic suit is fully zipped up .

YOUR NEGATIVE FEELINGS INTO POSITIVE FEEDBACK .
It ’ s important to release any negative feelings that came up for you through journaling , walking , or talking with a friend .

What is this person or situation showing me about my own patterns ?” You don ’ t need to force a new response just allow this moment of self-
