Part 1 > 2

Part 2: What’s Your Release? – Developing Your Positive Energy

Now we have insights into stress through part 1, looking at our human biology and human technology, reaction vs response, let’s move on to part 2; What’s Your Release?, looking at the 1o steps to exercising a positive release for stress and developing your positive energy.

Head > Reaction – Our Human Biology — Heart > Response – Our Human Technology: Now we know that stress is an invisible force but a powerful energy that can be harnessed. Dealing with our thoughts, feelings and emotions, when experiencing the demands and pressures, managing our problems, issues or adversity in life, are the building blocks for developing a strong foundation. When we feel challenged we can change, and when we change we can grow. When we don’t learn to process our emotions, our energy in motion, stress build-up in our energy system can cause blocks and disruptions in our flow and ability to keep things moving in life. Learning to exercise a positive release for stress and developing our positive energy, can allow us to move beyond the reactions of our human biology, upgrading our human technology. Moving from reaction to response, learning to chuck out the trash, letting go, deleting old habits and patterns of behaviour, clearing your internal hard drive and operating system over time, upgrading your heart response software.

Stress > A Positive Release: Exercise, Martial Arts, Sports, Dancing, Arts & Music – Self Process – Talking It Out – Mentorship

Movement Is Medicine! Through exercise and sport we can exercise a positive release to channel our emotional stress and physical energy, learning to control aggression through a martial art or combat sport, movement is like a medicine that can boost our human biology, activating our human technology. Many of us can learn to express ourselves through music, singing, dancing, playing a musical instrument or enjoying a creative outlet through art. Having a positive release  in many areas of our lives can allow us to improve our energy and confidence, helping us to manage negative reactions, developing our emotional awareness and our ability to respond to our life’s stress and everyday pressures. Through self-awareness, we can learn to take time out to self-process, dealing with our thoughts, feelings and emotions. When life gets challenging or overwhelming, we may need a positive release to process our deepest thoughts and feelings, talking through our problems and issues with people we trust, family, friends or professional therapists or councillors. A positive release through mentorship, positive influencers and connectors speaking in to our lives, such as friends, family, teachers, athletes, sports or business coaches, can have a powerful impact on our future. The truth is we all need a positive release for stress and developing our positive energy through grounding, breath work, getting our positive energy intake through good nutrition. Developing successful relationships through healthy communication, exercising good values and morals.
