I must admit I am a natural worrier. I worry a lot, but in the last few years I learnt many great techniques, which always help me to re-direct my energy from worrying to believing that all is well. One of my favourite spiritual teachers, Doreen Virtue says: “Worry doesn’t help anything, it only keeps us busy doing nothing.” That’s so true. But we all worry, even the ones who say they don’t. The good news is, we can all learn how to stop over-worrying and live more at ease. I am very excited to share with you some powerful techniques in this blog.
Worried what other people think of you?
This used to be one of my big problems. This worry sometimes still creeps into my reality and haunts me at night. If you have such a worry, remember this: People have so much of their own worries and they don’t constantly think about you. It is only your mind creation which believes, that some strangers are thinking about you and analysing your actions or what you’ve said or done.
Worried about your past mistakes?
We all have chapters in our lives we wouldn’t read out loud. In the past you have dealt with everything you experienced the best way you knew at the time. Stop being so hard on yourself. If you lied or hurt someone, said things you are not proud of, acted irresponsibly, don’t beat yourself up for it anymore. Forgive yourself and learn form your mistakes. You are always learning and always growing. You had to experience those things to help you become the person you are today.
There is nothing to worry about
Truly, there is nothing to worry about. Worry is just a thought and as any other thought, it can be replaced or it can be given more energy. Do yourself a favour and focus your energy to what brings you joy instead of worrying what could go wrong.
Worried about something right now?
Write things down:
This exercise always served me well. If you are worried about something right now, write it down immediately. Let it flow on a page of your notebook or a diary. You will feel lighter and have a fresher perspective of the situation.
Breathe deeply:
Take a step back from the situation you worry about and close your eyes. Take a slow, deep, cleansing breath and breathe out. Breathe in through your nose and breathe out through your mouth. When you breathe in, visualise, you are absorbing the positive energy this Universe has to offer. When you breathe out, visualise, you are letting go of anything that you currently worry about. Repeat this cycle for as long is comfortable for you.
Hand your worries to the care of a higher source:
We all have a belief or a faith of our own understanding. What do you believe in? Do you believe in Angels or Spirit Guides? Do you believe in God or any other higher power? When I worry, I hand over any of my worries to the care of my angels and spirit guides. They are always happy to help me and assist me with anything. You are always being helped, being guided and protected at all times. There is so much help available to us all. Hand your worries to the care of a higher source and trust and know, that they will be transformed to the positive energy.
