Good morning!
This quote by Snoopy Creator,
Charles Schultz brings home two important points: (1) How quickly a day
goes by and (2) How unhelpful it is to spend time worrying.
Worrying doesn't feel good, it
makes people anxious and stress-filled. So why do people worry?
Worrying, like many negative emotion is a defense mechanism. We worry
to protect ourselves from "what might happen." We worry in order to
avoid taking "the next step." However, like many defense mechanisms,
"worry" doesn't protect us, instead it creates a wall that blocks off
possibility. Worry invites us to be immobile, to stay still, and to
wait "for a better time."
Life isn't lived behind a
wall. Life is lived out in the wide-open when we take chances and chase
down dreams. When we use worry as a wall in our world, we not only
block out our fear of "what might happen," but we also block out the
good.
Studies have shown
ninety-eight percent of what we worry about never happens. If we spend
our time worrying we lose valuable time that could be spend on what we
do want to happen in our lives.
Your Turn:
Where have you been using worry to hide from life? Take a step toward knocking down the wall of worry by choosing one area not to worry about. Direct your thoughts toward possibilities instead of limits. Break down the wall that worry builds to see how wonderful opportunity is on the other side. Your Affirmation: I climb over worry and into joy. And as always, don't forget to start your day with a heartfelt: "Something great is going to happen today... I can't wait to see what it is!" And when ending your day ask yourself: "What is one more thing I can do to make today matter? | |||||||
