Published: Oct. 12, 2017, 8 a.m.

With all of the recent events happening in the world between natural disasters, attacks and the loss of many lives, I\u2019ve been asked how one should feel about these events. I\u2019ve held back on responding because honestly, I didn\u2019t know how I felt. I hadn\u2019t even begun to process my feelings yet. But I do know that if we\u2019re living in fear, it does nothing for the world.\n \u201cWhen you are in fear, you are not in power.\u201d\n So how do you take that power back? First, process your feelings \u2013 don\u2019t pass them over. Heal yourself so you can spread love and light to others. Talk to someone, whether it\u2019s a counselor, going to a trauma center or a dear friend who you know holds that space for you. Just be sure to give yourself the grace and space to process.\n Once you\u2019ve healed, be sure to keep that love and light in your life by surrounding yourself with those who allow you to do the same.\n \u201cOur environments reflect the results we get back in our minds.\u201d\n We know that if we stay connected to these groups or tribes we can nip fear and powerlessness in the bud and step into our power.\n \u201cWhen we put loving energy out it will be reflected to us in a bigger way in our lives.\u201d\n \xa0\n In This Episode You Will Learn:\n Why it\u2019s important to process our feelings\n How to take back your power when you feel powerless\n Why we must join groups or tribes that are rooted in love and light\xa0\n Resources:\n \xa0\n The Bliss Project 2018\n March 2-4, 2019 | Newport Beach, CA\n TheBlissProject.info\n Checkout my website at loriharder.com.
