There’s a simple question I ask myself when something feels off.
👉 Am I living above or below the line?
⤴️ ABOVE THE LINE, you’re:
- Open
- Curious
- Present
- You take responsibility for what’s yours
- You respond (instead of react)
You’re connected to yourself and what’s actually going on around you.
__________________________
⤵️BELOW THE LINE, you’re:
- Reactive
- Defensive
- On autopilot
- You blame
- You shut down
You’re not really present, because you’re running old programs.
WHAT I’VE LEARNED: The patterns that keep us below the line aren’t character flaws. They are:
➖Beliefs we absorbed from our families.
➖Responses our nervous system developed to keep us safe.
➖Identities we built around survival strategies that worked once — and now just keep us small.
This is exactly why I use Theta Healing and psychosynthesis coaching together in my work.
THETAHEALING gets beneath the surface and gently rewires it.
PSYCHOSYNTHESIS helps you understand the whole of who you are. The parts that are thriving, the parts that are protecting you, the parts that are ready to grow. And integrates them into a more coherent, aligned version of yourself.
Together, they don’t just help you recognize when you’re below the line. They change what pulls you there in the first place.
The above/below the line concept from the Conscious Leadership Group — and it’s a great self-awareness frameworks.
