Renée Garcia explains how constant reactivity to external triggers keeps you stuck in a low-quality reality. She outlines four steps to break the pattern: recognize your triggers, notice where your attention goes, assess if it serves you, and shift toward neutral perception. The goal is becoming a firefly that creates its own reality instead of just reacting to it.

Hello, Transurfers and the Transurfing curious! I am Renee Garcia and this is Transurfing TV! And I'm gonna admit, I stole this from Danny and Jenna, I couldn't help! We were sitting in Cabo together and we were talking about some people in the Facebook group! And this is really why I'm making this video, I'm making this video for a few people! Those of you watching will know who you are. But we were talking about these people being overly responsive, and what was coming from them was negative in their responsiveness. And Dan was like, "Dude, they just need to recognize when they're acting like bitch-ass snails!" I know Vadim doesn't want me to cuss, so I'm trying not to say the F-word as much. But he didn't say anything about bitch, so— I think in this case I'm going to draw from my inner Tufti. I think he'll understand! So, this video is how to quit acting like a bitch-ass snail! Because there is a better way to be other than being responsive to your environment in a way that draws out negativity, hate, being discontent, being dissatisfied, being at battle with your environment! And really, what this boils down to is— people that have been really engaging with their environment, even on the Facebook group or in other social media, where it shows that they are indeed battling from a dualistic perspective, what I think is good and I'm going to try to combat the bad. Now, this takes a huge amount of energy and that energy could be used a lot more wisely in helping you create your own reality in a positive way. Rather than fighting to swim upstream, right? Before I get started, remember to subscribe, like this video, and comment below "My world is taking care of me" to enter my daily giveaway. And Teachable, Reality 2.0 down below, y'all! So, I'm sorry for how messy this is, I didn't intend for it to be this messy, but I am going to absolutely break down— my thoughts via this chart. So, how to quit acting like a bitch-ass snail. First, check yourself before you wreck yourself. Oftentimes, what we do results in a— there is a cause and effect thing going on with what we project from ourselves externally, even if it is just those thoughts connect with your external environment and you end up getting more of the same thing. This is— this should already be ingrained in people's minds. When you focus on the negative, when you focus on something you don't like, when you focus on an attribute of your environment that you are dissatisfied with, you are simply going to exponentially highlight more of the same, and slowly you are going to poison and invite in negative information, more negative information into your layer of reality! So, first off, acknowledge that when you do this, when you take a divisive stance on any subject and you respond— to your external environment with this negative, uh, responsiveness, then you are going to start creating a different layer of reality that is in line with this exact thing that you do not want. Okay? So a couple of things. Ask yourself, what are your triggers? What is triggering you? Is it politics? Is it the media? Is it stuff that you're seeing online? Is it somebody in your life that is trying to facilitate a conversation with you that is getting you to respond in a negative manner, therefore creating a lesser quality layer of reality. So acknowledge— this should have been acknowledge rather than ask. Acknowledge your triggers. This is the first, first, first thing. If you are, if you are triggered and responsive, because of political crap you're seeing on the media, tune the media out! Get rid of it! It is not helping you, you are just going to wreck yourself and your reality, right? Assess! Again, where is your attention? Now, what we focus on exponentially pops up in our environment, so whatever your attention is— attention is focused on, you are going to get more of the same. I don't know how much easier I can possibly say this. Figure out what your triggers are and figure out where your attention is directed that is causing you to respond with, with negativity, right? So are you being negatively responsive? Okay, this is being redundant, but I feel that it absolutely is crucial for those of you that are suffering right now from acting like the jazz snail, right? So, ask yourself, "Is this good for me and my reality?" So again, let's say you are tuning in too much to the media, the media that is driven to have us take a divisive stance on all an array of subjects right now. When you do this— Is this contributing to the health and beauty and prosperous sort of vibe in your layer of reality? Or is it making your reality seem dull and grey and scary and hostile, and you don't like what's going on? So, it's really, really, really quite simple! Is this good for you? And your reality if you are being negatively responsive! And I'm sorry, I do not see anyone being negatively responsive and it is in fact helping their layer of reality! So, it's time to get real if you are doing this, get real with yourself and ask yourself "Can my attention, can my thoughts be directed towards something that is going to improve my layer of reality?" not compromise it, right? Recognize when you are acting like a snail, right? The whole thing in the Tufti book is that you're either a firefly or you are a snail! You're not going to be a hybrid of a firefly and a snail, you are going to be one or the other! So, if you are— and I'm sorry this sounds so harsh, but I'm really surprised at a number of people that I have seen acting like snails and not seeing that they're doing it, right? So the whole thing with the snail is the snail is a pretty unconscious creature. It has its antennas and the antennas are just moving around and responding to its external environment. There is no awareness. The snail is not capable of creating its own reality. It is Simply being responsive. So, recognize when you are acting like a snail and you are being negatively responsive in your layer of reality. So, what's the solution here? Okay, the solution— I know this is a challenge for a lot of people, because pendulums have their hooks in a lot of people right now, right? Approaching everything from a place of non-duality at this, at this time, at this stage of the game is going to be your best route. There is no good, there is no bad. It is only the value that you assign to it. If you can take everything with a grain of salt and realize that we are in a world of all sorts of things that we are assigning meaning to, right? We are doing it. What one person sees as good, somebody else sees as bad because they have chosen to assign a different meaning to that exact same subject that somebody else sees in the opposite fashion, right? So, non-duality is releasing yourself from being— and I know this sounds like a harsh word, but forced! To take a stance. And a lot of people that are really overly tuned in to the media and to politics right now are being forced, you are being forced to take a stance, right? To take a divisive stance. And if you simply choose the path of non-duality, you are going to see all of that angst, all of that negative responsiveness. All of that stuff is just going to dissolve! Tune it out, focus your attention in another direction, probably something that asks you to choose to take a divisive stance, right? So, if you know that's one of your triggers, that you are triggered by certain things to take a divisive stance, start focusing your attention in a direction that is not going to ask you to take a divisive stance! "I see myself and I see my reality." My God! This is huge! This is like the biggest statement that has— I mean, this has helped me beyond measure, right? Because anytime I start doing this, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up! I have systematically trained myself to wake up, "I see myself, I see my reality!" I'm going to approach my layer of reality! From a place of non-duality, so I do not negatively respond to my environment, therefore wrecking myself and my environment, acting like a bitch-ass snail! I have acted like a bitch-ass snail! But doing this in this fashion, moving through these steps and becoming aware of when you do this exactly, this is the key! Awareness! Fixes everything. And remembering non-duality is a much better world to exist in, right? It is better for you, it is better for your layer of reality. So, I'm sorry if I called you out. I know I didn't call any names, but those of you that are watching, I know you know I'm talking about you. I would love to hear your thoughts, if you are brave enough to admit in the comments that you have in fact been doing this. And how can you start to resolve your responsiveness to your external environment in a negative way, right? How can you start making that more positive, therefore improving the layer of reality that you live in?
