Worries are distractions.
Giving energy to thought of something not working out how we planned or desired can actually hold us back. When it becomes a habit towards a particular thought, it then becomes a worry. Worries are not obstacles, worries are distractions- and even worse, counterintuitive.
When we concentrate on why things aren’t working out, why we aren’t getting what we want, why this or that has gone wrong… we are allowing more of the same to exist in our environment and we then experience MORE worries.
If we have faith in ourselves and Source, Spirit- what we’ve allowed to be in our environment… can we really worry? When we worry, we are telling our environment “No, wait- I still want control over this thing that I desire or would like to have… I haven’t FULLY released it from myself yet to allow it to happen. I’m still holding onto the thought of NOT having it, or it NOT being exactly what I wanted or visualized!” And of course, you are allowed to hold onto it as long as you need- if you want to refine the visualization process, you may. But as long as you refuse to accept it in any other way than what you visualize precisely (as well as exhaustively), it may never come to be. It doesn’t mean the Law of Attraction does not work.
When we worry, we are really telling ourselves “I don’t have faith that it can happen”. Achieving what we want is releasing what we want. If we hold onto thoughts and feelings of what we choose, desire, want, would like… we will never get what we want, choose, desire, or would like.
Perhaps, simply by desiring something or wanting something, Spirit or Source will bring that to us- only if we allow it. We cannot allow it, when we tell it “I want it this way… precisely”. Source responds to the Energy we imbue our desires with. Are our desires or intentions dripping with anxiety and desperation? Ok, Source will return that to us. “Oh, you like NOT having this or that because you like to control it by worrying about it… ok, you can have more of the same!”, Source responds to us! If we imbue our desires, intents, wishes, and blessings with the Energy of gratitude for already receiving it, making it present in our life now, the Source will gladly respond in kind, and we will create this or that in our environment.
“I only want to be in love if the other person is 5’5” , under 120 pounds, makes six figures, has a Masters degree, and so on” What if Spirit would like us to bring someone that is 5’3” and only has a Bachelors degree?! Will we be particular and reject what it brings us simply because we cannot or will not compromise and be flexible?
We like to worry because it is a distraction that hinders us from what we would really like to achieve… Worries deprive us of our connection to Source. Worries reinforce to us that we are not in control of the matter we are worrying about, when nothing could be further than the truth! Than why worry? Worries take up our time and prevent us from experiencing something that we would really like to enjoy. That something to enjoy has the ulterior motive of changing our lives in one direction or another. Maybe we perceive that change as positive or negative, but we know it is change. It is an unknown until we can experience it. Maybe it’s nice living in the groove I’ve created for myself! Why would we want to change at all?
It’s ok to worry. It’s not ok for worries to engulf your being, your presence, your Energy. You can live differently if you so choose. Whatever happens will happen whether you exert Energy by worrying about it or not. Wouldnt it feel better, for once, to just let it happen in it’s own way?!
If you are plagued by worries about one thing or another, take 5 minutes out of your day to relax and regain your breathing. Contemplate this: The Tao Te Ching tells us to be flexible, like a Bamboo Shoot. Things that aren’t will break.
No Worries, I have faith that you can exorcise your worries out of your Life!
Big Hugs,
