How To Avoid Becoming One Of The Walking Dead

​Ways to create more presence

Aside from a TV series, what is walking dead?

Being one of the walking dead is the equivalent to being “zombified” without the flesh rot and stench. When we are walking dead we are emotionally tuned out and mentally unplugged. Walking through each day on autopilot…just going through the motions.

I think we all become a part of the walking dead at various points in our life. It’s when we remain walking dead, that’s when we have an issue.

And here’s why.

When we are unplugged and tuned out…

It’s hard to take action on opportunities that are present because we often don’t see those opportunities. This leaves us susceptible to wondering why things are happening for others and not for us.

We carry shit around with us. Because we’ve disconnected from those critical feelings that let’s us know there’s shit to deal with. The more shit we carry the heavier it becomes…the heavier we become (physically and energetically).

We become disconnected from those around us.

We are perpetually stuck.

In essence, life is living us instead of the other way around. If you’re NOT cool with that, then please read on.

COMING BACK TO LIFE

There’s good news here…any time we tune out and unplug we can always tune back in and plug back in. Here are a few ways that help…

1. Steer clear of the negatives. Negative conversations. Negative news. Negative people. Negatives are an energy drain and when our energy is drained it is easier to tune out and unplug.

2. Go on a social media cleanse. If we find that our news feeds are filled with posts that weigh us down or make us want to hide under the covers, try unplugging from social media for a few days. And if we need an update from friends or that connection, rather than using social media, we can get creative. Coffee dates, phone calls, and even emails are a much more engaging way to create that connection without all the negative noise that can come with social media.

5. Hydrate. Dehydration can cause tiredness and fatigue. When we’re tired and fatigued we become more susceptible to unplugging and tuning out. So have some water. Not only will it do our bodies some good, but our minds as well.

7. Journal. Journaling is a great way to regain consciousness after we have entered zombie mode. I actually start most of my days with some time in my journal. Even when I feel like there’s nothing to write, something always comes up. And what’s cool, I often leave my journaling sessions not only feeling more tuned-in to my world, but having gained some new awareness.

8. Check In. Pick a day and then set a timer to go off every hour or two and check in by asking these questions…

How tuned-in am I? Am I present or am I some place in the future or the past?Creating awareness around where we are mentally and emotionally/energetically gives us the choice to staying unplugged or plugging back in.​
