Anxiety & Rhythm

Every morning, I pray for guidance and direction.

Truth is, when it comes down to finding direction,

( directionally challenged to begin with...)

 I get all heady.

I have so many interests...and things that I love...

 my thoughts can get a bit scattered,

 and I then I start to confuse myself.

*Pause *Breathe *Zoom out *Align

*Journal.

When I come here to write, it is usually something that I read about

and recorded in my own musings.

Something that stirred within me.

 Healing the nervous system seems to be the subject of  a lot of stirring lately.

This morning the majority of my journaling was about fear, and anxiety.

 Yesterday I had a chat at the table with a loved one about anxiety.,

and the 4-7-8 breath.

So ... I thought I'd make some picks from my journal notes today.

Nuggets that helped me to stay on course with my "stirring".

I'm also adding this video to my tool box.

Rhythm to calm.

They seem to pair well together.😊

Learn to enjoy life more.

The more you focus on God's presence with you,

the more you can enjoy life.

Who you are, and who you will become, 

only God knows. 

Listen for His voice.

Don't let failures define you.

Use them to inform your next steps.

" I am the way, and the truth, and the life."

John 14:6

Anxiety & worry, are destroyers of health,

wealth & happiness.

The only way to get rid of fear-

is to transmute it into faith.

Fear is the opposite of Faith.

Both register in the subconscious.

What you focus on will grow.

Believe that all things are possible.

 

Make a habit of making giant swings into Faith.

You might find that right this moment,

you have more than enough reasons to be happy 

& centered.

'You cannot accomplish anything 

you cannot see yourself accomplishing.'

'Trusting God is like walking a tight rope.

Doubt and fear cause you to lose your balance,

and fall off into lack and limitation.

It takes practice to acquire poise & balance.'

'We suffer more than we need to,

We reopen old wounds by dwelling on the past.

We live in needless dread of what tomorrow

will bring.'

'What a beautiful world this would be if

all anxiety and fear were blotted out.

The only way to neutralize it

is to walk up to the thing you are

afraid of.'

Out of the book: Can You still Trust God?

by Charles Stanley

' I encourage you today..

Refuse to allow anxiety to become a "state of being" in your life.

Believe God when He says you are worthy of His constant care.

Yield total control of every area of your life to God.

Refuse to be caught up in what others think of you.

Refuse to be trapped into operating according to the world's systems

Get your priorities in line with God's priorities for you.

Choose to live in today, not tomorrow.

And You will find yourself living with a growing,

deep inner peace,

free from fear and anxiety.'

be well...

but no one can take away from you 

what you put in your own mind."
