Worry looks around, sorry looks back, and faith looks up. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Calm
is more than just being relaxed. Calm is when your whirling, twirling mind
slows down long enough to meet with your spirituality. Calm is when your trust
is greater than your worry and anxiety. Worry and anxiety can emotionally hurl
you to your wit’s end yet they can also be your greatest teachers. These
emotions allow the opportunity for your utmost growth and expansion. That is,
if you allow them to teach you, seek calm in your life, and aim to connect with
that which is larger than yourself.
-Focus
on the here and now instead of projecting your apprehension into the future.
Worry tends to remove us from the present moment.
-Trust
your intuition on when to wait and when to act. Worry and anxiety feeds our
need to control.
-Notice
when your anxiety rises and recognize that this is your spirituality
disengaging. This is the time to move toward reconnecting.
-Ask
yourself what divine teaching an emotion is trying to teach you.
-Seek
anxiety relief with alternative therapy and bodywork such as massage,
acupuncture, reiki, visualization, mediation, or therapeutic touch. You can
also try calming yourself by placing your palm of hand over your heart chakra
(located mid-chest) which is the energy center for unconditional love.
-
Above all else, be more warrior than worrier.
