Perhaps your life is not where you thought it would be. If
that is case, then chances are you are feeling anxious about your life. You are
wondering how you will care for yourself, if your finances will be stable, and
if your job is secure… providing you have one.
Well the main thing to remember is that worrying will not
make a positive effect on your circumstances. What will make a positive impact
is faith.
Worry is truly only fear and fear will destroy your hope. Faith is
confidence, and it will strengthen your hope as it deepens your understanding
of your circumstances.
There are a few things in life that you can do to strengthen
your faith and restore your mind to a worry free time. A few of the ways is
through meditation, reading, loving,
listening and offering.
Meditation is one
of the oldest spiritual practices known to man. You do not have to be religious
in order to meditate. Meditation is a great way to connect with your higher self,
however, it is not only for that purpose. Meditation is an awesome source of
energy enhancement. It helps to balance your body and mind and restore your
emotional security.
Sometimes it’s our thoughts alone that make us feel unbalanced
and uneasy. In fact, at times when there is nothing in particular disturbing
us, an unbalanced mind will still find something to worry about. The mind is
intelligent enough to sift through the rolodex of the brain and choose things
to think about without us even realizing it. Well in the case of a person with
unbalanced energy, they will automatically pick out anxious thoughts to ponder,
which in turn creates more instability and could eventually manifest into
anxiety, a real dis-ease of the mind.
When we feel insecure and uncertain, that is our body and
mind indicating to us that our personal energy is out of whack and we need to
pay attention and put in back in tune.
Just like a piano, a car, or most things we use on a daily
basis, needs a tune-up from time to time, so do humans. This can be achieved
through meditation.
You could Google topics that increase your knowledge, and
through doing that you will fill your head with newer thoughts which will take
precedence over the older negative ones.
Whenever you find yourself worrying or wondering about the
future, it is best to distract yourself, and if you’re not a reader then
perhaps you are a writer. So write your thoughts out and then read your own
thoughts. You would be surprised at how much your own words will speak to you.
Write down your worry and your concern. Then write back to yourself giving
yourself advice that you’d give a friend, and take your advice, because it will
be well worth it.
Loving others is
one of the best ways to remove negative energy. It almost balances the body and
mind immediately. What it does is release feels good hormones in your brain
called serotonin, and this natural chemical increases your happiness to help
balance your energy by encouraging you to focus on pleasure as opposed to pain.
Now you have to be careful with your comprehension of
loving. It’s not to say that you are to receive love, it is to say that you
give it. Not even to have it reciprocated but to just give it because it feels
good. By giving love you help to not only balance you, but also others, because
the person who you are expressing love to will feel the good effects and
benefit from it greatly. Of course this will help to enhance your personal
positive karma, but that’s not why you’re doing it. You’re doing it to balance
your body and mind.
Listening to
others is a way to balance your out of whack energy. Hearing about their own
shortcomings, trials and tribulations can sometimes help to put your own
worries into perspective. There is always somebody who is going to be worse off
than you. The internet is riddled with stories of people who are experiencing
true hardship. The suggestion here is not for you to go and Google a brigade of
sad stories about others just to make yourself feel good because you’re doing
better, the key is to put compartmentalize things in your brain.
By listening to others you can gain an extreme amount of
balance. Chances are you are not the first one experiencing what you are
feeling, and you won’t be the last, so it is quite possible that you may find
some advice online. Perhaps a video online about a person who, like you, at one
point was feeling hopeless, but still faced their fears and through their
resilience they rose above their fear and turned it into faith.
They may teach you too how to face your fear and also turn
it into faith.
Offering yourself
is a rewarding way to balance any negative energy. By helping others you
increase your goodwill, and you also raise your serotonin (that feel good
chemical in your brain). You can offer
your time one Sunday a month at the local soup kitchen. You might want to
volunteer at the local community centre. You may not have time to spare, so in
that case you could simply offer your seat on the bus, perhaps your coffee
money to a homeless person or even your lunch period to your employer who has
errands to run. It is through offering that you bank your karma and gain
respect.
So now that you have a few tools to help you combat the
worry that tends to seep into your consciousness try them out and see how they
work for you. Not all may work for you, but one will and it will help you to
take control of your mind and balance your body.
Of course you may still ponder worrisome thoughts, but it
won’t be as often, and the thoughts will not affect you as deeply, because you
will have learned how to distract your mind from picking unhealthy thoughts to
concentrate on.
