“Worry is based on the belief that some undesirable condition already exists. Worriers vividly picture in mind the undesirable condition they are worrying about.” Eric Butterworth, Spiritual Economics
Our thoughts have energy. Think about how you can feel someone staring at you from behind or from across the room. You don’t see them, but you can feel the energy of their attention. Some people can feel this energy across space…have you ever had someone on your mind and they called or texted soon after? Our thoughts are energized by the feeling and emotion behind them…and they influence outcomes.
We can use our thoughts powered by feelings and emotions to visualize anything. We might see our self riding a zip line through amazing fall colors, smiling all the way…easily passing a difficult exam…conquering our fear of public speaking…confident and at ease about our up coming surgery…singing with perfect pitch at an audition. If we use our thoughts, feelings and emotions in this way, we influence our experience positively. When we anchor what we want to experience in our consciousness…we believe it is possible before it happens.
The idea of worry is energized by the emotions and feelings of doubt, fear, mistrust, sadness, lack and dis-ease. Worry is using the power of thought to influence an outcome and an experience that we don’t want. We see all of the hardship, struggle and pain in our mind…it comes true…and we say “I told you so!”
Luke 12:25-26 says: And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? If then you are not able to do so small a thing as that, why do you worry about the rest?
Decide today not to worry…to not waste your precious and powerful consciousness on seeing exactly what you don’t want. Take a deep breath, be still and see what it is that you do want.
Your life will change if you do this one simple thing…don’t worry.
Peace always
Paula
