Confident, Relaxed and Certain
How much of what you have worried about has ever actually happened to you? Here you are with so much potential worrying about what may or may not happen in the future, is your position such that you really need to be concerning yourself with something which is just a mind made concept in your head? If the life you are creating for yourself happens, and only you can determine whether it does or not, won’t these days where you are worried about whether or not it would happen seem a little pathetic?
You are creating something bigger than you have ever created before, that will allow you to live a life unimaginable just a few years ago. Your goal is achievable and can be done by you; don’t ever lose sight of that.
“If there is a solution to the problem, there is no need to worry. If there is no solution, there is no sense in worrying either.”
Dalai Lama
“Ten years from now the problem you are worrying about will be completely meaningless and totally irrelevant.”
All you have to do is think of the life you will be living and use it as motivation to continue taking action now.
Worrying is a mindless concern for every possible eventuality, it is pointless
Living in the future can be a cause of anxiety because if you were living in the now, what would you have to be nervous about?
A new definition of worry might be something like this:
Worry: A type of thinking that results in new mind made concepts that serve no other purpose then to produce anxiety and stress in a person’s life.
If you are worrying about something are you living in the present moment or are you somewhere else completely? Worrying about the future, what future? It doesn’t exist except in your own head.
- What have you got to worry about in your day to day life?
- What is it about your job that worries you?
- What is it about your relationship that worries you?
- What is it about your financial situation that worries you?
It is all imagined.
There are many bad habits in the world and worrying is one of them, if you are guilty of it then consider it something you have to quit. If you have money worries, I think you will agree that worrying about them will not solve anything, but taking action to come up with a new way to earn more money or brainstorming ways to cut your expenses might.
Worrying is born out of a lack of confidence in yourself; it is a lack of confidence in your ability to handle situations when and indeed if they were to occur. If the problem was large and in your face you wouldn’t have time to worry as you would be too busy taking action to do something about it.
How about using anxiety as a motivational strategy, I mean if you are constantly worrying then why not instead of worrying take action in the present moment to do something about what you are worrying about. If you are unable to do that, then what is the point in worrying? If you jump out of a plane without a parachute what will worrying about it solve? Nothing!
So cut down on this habit that can paralyze you. Rarely do the things that you worry about ever come true. So what’s the point? Worrying is just an ineffective way of thinking about things that may or may not happen in your life. So stop worrying and start living.
