Awakening Your Worth: Turning Rejection into Redirection

Image
  Awakening Your Worth: Turning Rejection into Redirection Rejection is one of the hardest experiences to face. It feels like a door slammed in your face, a “no” you weren’t ready to hear. And often, it feels personal — as if our worth itself has been denied. But here’s the truth: rejection is not the same as unworthiness. When we are rejected, what’s really happening is a mismatch between our path and that situation, person, or opportunity. Rejection hurts because it awakens old wounds — the child in us who once felt left out or unseen. Yet, rejection can also be a teacher. It redirects us toward what is truly aligned. Every “no” makes space for a “yes” that fits better. Reframing Rejection - Rejection is redirection. - It doesn’t define your value, it defines timing and fit. - The more we can accept rejection, the more we step into resilience. Reflection Practice When rejection stings, pause and journal: 1. What rejection still hurts me today? 2. What did ...

Awakening Your Worth: Understanding Regret with the 5W3H Method

Image
 This was my sharing during live #tiktok #peggyang57. Regret is an emotion we all carry. It often shows up as a heavy reminder of what could have been. But what if regret isn’t a punishment, but a teacher? I’ve come to see regret as a mirror. It reflects the gap between who I was and who I am becoming. When approached with awareness, regret can be transformed into wisdom. The 5W3H Method for Exploring Regret When regret surfaces, I use the  5W3H method  as a simple framework to unpack it: 5W Who  → Who is involved in this regret? What  → What actually happened? When  → When did it occur? What season of your life? Where  → Where did it shape or affect you most? Why  → Why does it still sting? What’s the deeper reason? 3H How did it happen?  → The choices, actions, or circumstances that led to it. How did I feel?  → The emotional truth you experienced. How can I transform it?  → The lesson, the forgiveness, the release. The Emotional ...

Awakening Your Worth: The Power of Acceptance

Image
  Acceptance is not surrender. Acceptance is the key that opens the door to freedom. When we talk about acceptance, we are not talking about giving up. We are talking about learning how to live fully, right here, right now. For me, acceptance has been one of the most difficult — yet most liberating — l essons on this awakening journey. 1. What We Accept We accept the things we cannot change: - The past that has already happened. - The choices that other people make. - The present moment, even when it is uncomfortable. We also accept ourselves, both the light and the shadow. Imagine opening your palms instead of clenching your fists — that’s the energy of acceptance. 2. Why We Accept Resistance drains our energy. The more we fight reality, the more exhausted we become. Acceptance is powerful because it brings peace. From peace comes clarity. From clarity comes growth. It’s important to remember: acceptance does not mean agreement. It means we stop wasting energ...

Awakening Your Worth - Shadow and projection - emotion and feelings.

Image
  Shadow, Projection & the Dance Between Emotions and Feelings When I recently received a 下下签 (Guanyin Oracle Lot 92) , some might have seen it as an omen of bad luck. My first emotion was a subtle drop in the body — disappointment, unease, maybe even fear. But instead of letting that emotion define me, I reframed 下下签 as a beginning from zero — a reset, a chance to rebuild with peace and harmony. This reminded me of the difference between emotions and feelings : Emotions = raw data . They are automatic, body-based reactions. A storm from the nervous system and past experiences. Example: Heart racing → anger. Feelings = conscious expression of emotions . The story and label we attach. They are selective, shaped by memory and choice. Example: That same anger could become resentment, frustration, or determination. 🌿 Metaphor: Emotion = storm in the body 🌩️ Feeling = weather report in the mind 📰 Shadow ...

Awakening Your Worth: Working With Shadows & Triggers

Image
  Awakening Your Worth: Working With Shadows & Triggers I find myself circling back to the past. The emotions that rise up are not because of fear itself—it’s the fear that triggers the emotions. Does that make sense? What we hide in our shadow often shows up through the people we meet or the situations we face. Surprising? Maybe. But shadows have a way of sneaking into the open. I was once with a friend who told me she disliked a certain person but didn’t know why. I knew why—but it wasn’t for me to tell her. She wasn’t ready to face it yet. Why did I know? Because I had seen the same thing in myself. In the past, whenever someone or something triggered me, I fell straight into the trap of ego protection. My victimized inner child would come out—I’d get angry, frustrated, jealous, and miss the chance to learn. Since beginning this awakening journey (and yes, it is a journey), I’ve noticed the process more clearly. First the doubts would rise as a shield. Then fea...

Walking Out of the Shadow: Awakening Your Worth

Image
 Children of the Universe, welcome to this space of reflection. Awakening your worth is not a straight road — it is a journey of ups and downs. When I first started sharing, it was random. Yet through it, I heard the whispers of the shadow. Not the physical shadow, but the hidden part of our inner universe — the unconscious, the inner child. It is the part of us that society taught us to suppress, so we wear masks to survive. I once sought only light, but I discovered the shadow. In trying to escape fear, I fell deeper into it. I learned that shadow is not our enemy; it is the part of us that longs to be recognized. This journey is exhausting. Reflection drains me, and emotional patterns from the past resurface. But in this, I realized I am not alone. Many of you share the same struggle — and the culprit is our feelings. Is it easy? No. But the reminder is this: awakening is a journey. To be strong for myself means to be strong for you too. On Monday, I spoke about fear. Today...
