Worry. Worry. Worry. By giving worries attention we give them energy, and then before we know it, molehills have become mountains.
To become truly free from worry, the trick is, start living from the inside out. How does this work? When you’ve spent time anchoring yourself in your innate qualities of peace, love, happiness and inner power (to name but a few), you not only feel more empowered, but because your mind is calmer, you can see through to the heart of a problem to a solution. So make time to explore your innate qualities! If you are busy exploring, you’re out of time for worrying.
Meditation is a brilliant facilitator for your exploring. The purpose of meditation is to allow us to re-experience our core self. To re-discover what is true and what is not true about ourselves. To regain our peace, clarity, wisdom, love and self respect.
When we re-discover our inner qualities we discover that we have an arsenal of new tools to use in our day to day life. Instead of putting fire on fire, or anger on anger, we now find we have a handy bucket of water we can throw on the fire instead. Then situations become stepping stones for us. They show us how far we’ve come, and what the next step we need to take is. Maybe I find that my worry level has gone down from 90% to 40%. This tells me I am on track, and to keep going. It is also a chance for me to see if there is anything extra I can do to support myself in reaching my goal of becoming worry-free.
Enjoy the process of becoming worry-free on a daily basis and you’ll find you have a natural talent for transforming mountains into cotton wool!
