So ... You have anxiety ...

KNOWING you have anxiety and doing something about it are 2 different things. It is a matter of choice, to be blunt. Things aren't happening to you in a bad way, but rather, the observation of the perception you're receiving is being attached to something undesirable. Saying otherwise is the exact same as saying someone, something, any external condition or qualifier, is in charge of the way you feel, but NOT you.

Do you sense ... folly in that stance? That's because all things start AND end with you, right? It's ACTUALLY your point of attraction, but that's a discussion for another time... Knowing that your state of being is not the way you'd like is the first step. So how does one soften the negative perception that they are feeling/sensing? I would suggest one of 3 things usually:

• Change focus

• Disarm it

• Become friends with it, whatever "it" is.

I typically choose the third option because it is something along the path of least resistance from noted experience, but I'll guide with you a sample using all 3.

Example: I am in charge of my self, the way I feel and what I do. Amidst any situation, I acknowledge that I am the only person in charge of THAT, and it is satisfying to know that I am free to be whatever it is I CHOOSE to be despite anyone or anything. My character is of high valor and integrity and clear conscious to mean well, do well, be well. I create an atmosphere of love, joy, and peace, thus I maintain THAT despite whatever temporary evidence of transgression, calamity, and the like. And I acknowledge that because I'm in charge of the way I feel, that what I perceive has a feeling and because I'm in charge of that, I choose to focus upon the goodness of what I am to assert upon the situation. Because being myself pleases me, I only choose to be so. Essentially, you tell yourself a new story and believe it. It is YOUR story, no-one else is the author, get it? "But... but things ... Things keep happening to me! " Thats because you may have become accustomed with identifying yourself as a victim, not a survivor. A person preyed upon, not someone confident in their oneself and would suggest your life is of ruin with NOTHING good in it. The prior 3 sentences even feel like "yuck " reading it, but for whatever reason, some folks find it cozy to live in the problem and expand it, rather than deliberately intending to be something greater until the problem evaporate while having fun being themself. They'd rather identify with being weak. BEING. Understand? Good. Be the highest version of self, we all know whom that is to ourselves. If we are that in the best, well intended way, only that which is like the way we feel can come into our experience. Real recognize real right? Much love, J
