I start a new day putting a stop to anxiety and giving way to the good…
No one came into the world to survive but to live and to be happy. It's not a warning, it's a mental trap. Every time I've felt stuck with no way out, in that negative expectation about what's to come, I'm definitely not seeing the future coming. This is suffering here and now.
Anxiety is this, thinking that the bad is waiting for me at every corner... have you noticed? Of that something, that we think is stalking us and that, sooner rather than later, is going to capture us, grab us. And we forget that new and good things can also come.
We have insisted on seeing the case, as if it were the only real thing, but the truth is that the good is already happening, we just have to open our eyes.
Taking off that weight that we have on our shoulders and with that overflowing anxiety, I think that the solution is not to control what comes, but to learn to believe that the good things also happen to us.
In fact, if I tell you that I now take an inventory of the things that happen to me, I assure you that there are more good things that happen to me than bad ones, I try to give more happiness than drama, and more progress than delays.
I am closing this post from my personal experience.
Getting out of anxiety is to restore confidence to your life, to regain the power to see what you already have, what you already are. The key is to value the good, and although it sounds cliché, what is worth is the here and now. And only then, will we stop fearing what is to come and the future will only be as dark as each of us decides to see it. I no longer refuse to give him present to my own light.
I value the good in my life and leave behind that feeling of heaviness the next day after spending a terrible night of insomnia and dawn with a kind of swelling, with the eyelids closed and with heaviness, it's like having a cold but without the cold, without fever, but with that feeling of constant exhaustion.
Once one understands anxiety, it is very important to make the decision to get out of it, of course with help, to take control and keep it at bay. Sometimes it's not easy it happens to me. Sometimes we get scared of things that haven't happened and probably won't happen.
We have to get out of our own mental trap. This is just what I needed to write today, while I'm waiting to go on a trip ✈️.
