Do not scare yourself
Fear can cause anxiety and anxiety can cause fear.
When you do not live in the moment or present tense, your bodies experience anxiety. The anxiety of the unknown or the belief that you will experience dome or glom of the unknown. Your mind makes up stories about things that have not even occurred yet.
Scaring yourself may create anxiety attacks. These happen when you do not stop to deal with a situation or ignore what your body is telling you. The emotions surrounding the situation affect your body physically. Sweating, racing heart, fast breathing, etc. You may end up in emergency, believing you are having a heart attack. Anxiety can also cause sleep deprivation. All this leads to emotional and physical stress.
Fear and anxiety also reduce the immune system’s ability to fight off disease. When your immune system is compromised, the body is more susceptible to contracting viruses and dis-ease.
When you live in fear your body is in fight, fright and freeze mode. Your adrenal gland produces cortisol and slow down other necessary organs and systems in your body. Thus, creating a stress response. Continuing to live in flight, fright or freeze mode depletes the body of this necessary stress hormone and leaves you vulnerable to illness.
The most important action that can be taken is pause and connect to what your body is feelings. What’s it experiencing right now. What emotions have you ignored and stuffed deep into your body?
Know that it’s okay to cry.
Tears are Gods healing liquid
Tears heal us when we’re holding too tight,
Tears helps us be ok,
Tears show you and others that’s it’s safe to express your hurt,
your sadness, your pain, your joy and your elation.
Let the healing flow!
Anxiety is reduced when you live in the now and stay in the moments you are currently experiencing. You are only capable of living in this moment. There is no possible way to live beyond the moment that you are in right now. When you try to control an outcome or live in fear about the future, you create chaos in your life and within your body. You miss the moment in time in which you are experiencing right now. You miss the lesson that could be learned, the happiness that could be experienced and the excitement of the moment.
Your perceptions, thoughts and words affect your physical and emotional health.
Create what you want instead of fear and anxiety. Change your thoughts and words. and it will change your perception of beliefs. Through writing and thinking affirmations such as, I am safe in every situation. I am learning new things right now. I am protected by the power that resides within me.
Visualize positive outcomes for situations that you are unsure of. Mediation gives your mind and body the opportunity to be silent, recuperate and heal. If you need predictability and it gives you peace of mind, develop a daily routine. Begin your day with meditation, going for walk or some type of moment, have breakfast, etc. Always be open and anticipate that it may also change. Be excited for what may be or come. Be curious and have anticipation. The outcome will be so much better than your hard-laid plans.
Live each day as your inner child. With wide eyed wonder and awe. Embracing what you hear, see and touch. Believing that these are opportunities to discover the new and learn about the unknown. Be open to all possibilities and find peace with new the knowledge.
