Episode notes
Mental And Emotional Loads Are Fields
- Emotional and mental loads are often invisible pressures that drain energy and block spiritual and relational connection.
- Recognizing these 'fields' helps you notice when you're carrying more than God has asked and where anxiety spreads between people.
Visualize Fields And Let Red Balls Pass
- Imagine other people's anxiety as a field of energy and expect 'red balls' of reactivity to fly by.
- Let some of those pass without responding and relax into God's presence beforehand to increase your capacity to navigate them.
What Being Human-Sized Really Means
- 'Human-sized' means responding deliberately on behalf of your values rather than reacting from autopilot.
- Human-sized responses can still include emotion but are measured and contained rather than explosive or withdrawn.
