My stomach and low back suffered from it.  My bank balance suffered from it. My life suffered from it.  Perpetual worry about one thing or another.  When one thing resolved itself I found another thing to worry about. It was a vicious cycle that lead me nowhere.  It only served in blocking the flow of good into my life.

Is it affecting your life?

I have known about the negative effect of worrying for a long time.  From the perspective of health, many physical conditions have their origins in worry.  When we worry it prevents us from seeing the fantastic opportunities that are out there that are the answer to our prayers. And yet, periodically, I catch myself in that place.  The key now is how quickly I change it, and how quickly I let go of past times when I have worried.

The act of worrying is one thing, but to continue to hold judgement of ourselves for it is not serving anyone! To beat ourselves up for thinking these thoughts when we “should have known better”, is the voice of that inner critic.

So, if you worried about something, and that very crappy situation manifested, and you know that it is because you worried, because you believe in the Law of Attraction, then you must forgive and let go.  It is in the past.  It doesn’t mean you are not good enough.  It doesn’t mean that Law of Attraction does not work, it means that next time around you get to think a little differently about it.

We worry about situations that are out of our control.  When we have done all that we can possibly do, and maybe don’t trust that another will do what they need to do.  Or we don’t trust that the universe will provide what we need. Trusting the universe is a key component of this.

An affirmation that may help:

“I trust the universe/God/Spirit will  bring me what I need when I need it”

Worrying about another…

People think that it is good to worry about another person.  That this somehow shows that other person that they care.  This just does not resonate with me.

What the person will feel lifted and inspired by is compassion, love and someone that believes in them.  Someone who prays for their highest good and is sending support their way. That works far more magic!

Stuff it!…..

Many people know that worry is of no use.  And so they do what I have done in the past.  They push it down and pretend that it is not there.  They distract themselves with other things, but those worries are still there under the surface, drawing things into their outer world.

We would do far better to acknowledge that we are worrying, begin to challenge those thought patterns, and create the intention for peace within ourselves.

“Thank you worry”…..

So where does gratitude fit into the picture?  Whenever you hear that little voice going off into panic and taking you away from your center, utter these simple words.

“Thank you for your input.”

It allows you to choose whether you take action from your lower self or your higher self. Feel the relief when you say those simple words.

That worry may have been a reminder to take care of something important, but that worry may have been needless.  When you assess it from a place of inner peace and gratitude for it’s presence, rather than condemnation and judgement, then the action taken is far more fruitful and the body feels a greater sense of peace.

And relax …..

And meditate.  Sit and empty your mind.  Listen to the answers to your prayers that present themself in this quiet time when you are still.   They can’t be heard when we are frantic with worry!

Here is an awesome sanskrit chant.
