Why We Wait for Something to Go Wrong
Description:
Tune into the newest episode of our Energy Works Podcast, where science meets spirit to help you heal, energize, and thrive.
In this solo episode, Blaine reflects on a conversation from a retreat about the fear that expressing "too much gratitude" might somehow cause it to be taken away. Why do we find ourselves waiting for something to go wrong, even when life is going well?
Through the lens of Chinese Medicine's Five Element Theory, Blaine explores how fear (Water), joy (Fire), and grief (Metal) shape the way we experience gratitude and respond to life's inevitable changes. She also shares a simple practice you can use the next time fear begins to take over.

I really liked the point about how we can struggle to enjoy good moments without expecting something bad to happen. On a lighter note, having some easy entertainment can help reset your mind, and Subway Surfers Online is a fun little way to relax and switch off for a while.
