If you can’t sleep then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It is the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep.– Dale Carnegie
Whatever is going to happen will happen whether we worry or not.– Ana Monnar
Worrying does not take away tomorrow’s troubles, it takes away today’s peace.
This week I choose to write about worry as I watched a short video that focused on how holding on to the worry and stress for a long time can make us feel paralyzed.
All of us know this at an intellectual level and we really try our best not to worry and imagine or envision a positive outcome. But, how do we stop worrying and stressing out is a big question every individual is trying to answer especially when they are facing difficulties and hardships.
Worrying is part of the human condition. The only way that I know which helps me to stop worrying is through surrendering to a force that is much greater than me. (You can call it God, Spirit, Divine, Universe or Consciousness).
As I get older I realize this more and more with each passing day. Of course, it doesn’t hurt to start this process of surrendering early on in our life.
In the last ten years, since I began tapping, I have come to realize that giving myself permission to process the emotions and be fully present with them, also makes praying and surrendering a lot easier. I’m able to get out of my own way, without getting caught up in the how’s of an outcome. A few of my clients have also shared similar experiences.
The human mind will always think that I will stop worrying when I know that the outcome will be positive. It also circles back to the idea that by letting go off the worry, we can become functional and achieve the desired outcome.
I encourage you to use tapping to aid you in the process of “Stop worrying and Start living.”
Wishing you peace and happiness!
Until next time, keep tapping!
