Soul Cleanse: A Forest Rinse
Dysregulated Is Not the Plot — It’s the Warning.
Is “bad luck” happening to you… or is your life waving a giant neon flag?
Let me be lovingly blunt: sometimes “bad luck” is just life doing life.
And sometimes… it’s a pattern.
A pattern that whispers: “Babe. Pause. Your nervous system is driving. And she’s texting while driving.”
Because every moment, you’re thinking and feeling. And those thoughts + feelings aren’t just vibes in the air — they’re instructions your body is taking seriously. They shape what you notice, what you tolerate, what you choose, and what you repeat.
So if everything feels like it’s going sideways lately, don’t spiral into “I’m cursed.”
Get curious. Get strategic. Get regulated.
The “Bad Luck” Checklist (a.k.a. the Universe’s HR Report)
These are the kinds of “warning signs” that deserve a little side-eye:
Frequent accidents (clumsy, rushed, frazzled… always “almost” dropping something)
Theft of time (constant interruptions, chaos scheduling you, distractions eating your day)
Unmanageable sickness (your body tapping out, begging for care)
Opposing gut knowings (your intuition says “no,” your mouth says “sure!”)
Broken relations (misfires, blowups, ghosting, resentments stacking)
Financial losses (leaks, impulsive spending, “how did that happen?” moments)
Corrupt truths (seeing something clearly… and still trying to unsee it)
Now listen: this isn’t about blaming yourself for hard things. You don’t control everything, and you’re not required to “think positive” your way through reality.
But you can notice when your inner world is creating momentum toward more stress, more misalignment, and more “why does this keep happening?”
Here’s the tea: Your state creates your strategy
When you’re dysregulated, your brain goes into survival math:
Fight: “I’ll force it. I’ll push. I’ll prove.”
Flight: “I’ll run. I’ll avoid. I’ll stay busy so I don’t feel.”
Freeze: “I can’t. I’m stuck. I’ll scroll and disappear.”
Fawn: “I’ll keep the peace. I’ll say yes. I’ll shrink.”
And from that state, your choices get weird. Your boundaries get sloppy. Your timing gets messy. Your intuition gets muffled. Your energy leaks in a thousand tiny ways.
When you’re regulated (hello, ventral vagal queen), you can actually see:
what’s yours
what’s not
what’s a no
what’s a lesson
what’s a redirect
what needs to end
Regulation doesn’t make you “high vibe.” It makes you clear.
And clarity is expensive.
The Reframe: “Bad luck” is often feedback, not fate
Think of it like walking through a forest path at dusk.
If you’re tense, rushing, and distracted? You trip on roots.
If you’re grounded, present, and steady? You see the roots. You step over them.
Same forest. Different state.
So if the roots keep taking you out… the move isn’t to fight the forest.
It’s to change how you’re moving through it.
The Vibe-Up Protocol (without toxic positivity)
1) Pause the momentum (immediately)
When a “warning sign” hits, your first job is to interrupt the spiral.
Try this in real time:
hand on chest or belly
inhale through nose for 4
exhale slow for 6
whisper: “I’m here. I’m safe enough to choose.”
You’re not “manifesting.” You’re downshifting.
2) Ask: “What is this trying to protect me from?”
Not “why is this happening to me?” (victim spiral).
But: What is this showing me? What is this saving me from?
Examples:
Accident-prone? → rushing + dissociation
Relationship tension? → boundary avoidance + resentment
Money leaks? → emotional spending + fuzzy priorities
Gut conflict? → intuition vs. people-pleasing
3) Audit your inputs (your frequency is fed)
If your mind is eating junk, don’t be shocked your life feels junky.
Quick audit:
Who/what are you listening to daily?
What do you rehearse in your mind?
What do you keep touching that drains you?
What do you keep explaining to people who don’t want to understand?
Negative influencers don’t always look like villains.
Sometimes it’s your group chat. Sometimes it’s your own inner commentary.
4) Choose the highest-good outcome — then act like it’s real
This is where the magic actually lives: alignment.
Ask:
“What outcome creates the most peace long-term?”
“What choice respects my body?”
“What would Future Me thank me for?”
Then take one small action that proves you mean it:
send the hard text
cancel the draining thing
stop negotiating with someone’s chaos
make the appointment
close the tab
go outside and let your nervous system remember the sky
5) Don’t overcorrect by staying spiritually “connected” to the mess
This is big, Gina. Because replay is a ritual too.
If you keep:
re-telling it
re-playing it
re-feeling it
re-arguing it
…you’re keeping your awareness tethered to the very frequency you want to leave.
Bless it. Learn it. Release it. Move. Forward.
Herbal allies for “I need my energy back NOW”
Not because herbs are magic wands — but because they help your body stop screaming.
Pick one:
Lemon balm (softens anxious mental loops; “come back to your body, baby”)
Tulsi (holy basil) (protective, clarifying, helps you feel steady under pressure)
Rose (heart repair + boundary balm; reminds you you’re allowed to receive)
Oatstraw / milky oats (deep nervous system nourishment; rebuild after stress)
Tiny ritual: make tea, put your phone face-down, and sip like it’s an appointment with your future.
If you’re in “unmanageable sickness” territory…
That one deserves real support: a clinician, labs, rest, community care. Spiritual reframes are cute, but your body deserves resources, not blame.
Final word
If “bad luck” keeps pulling up to your house, don’t panic.
Get present. Get honest. Get regulated.
Because your next decision is a fork in the road — and you do get to choose the path with more peace, more truth, and more abundance.
To your success.
Love,
Gina ♥️🙏
