How to ease your anxiety
Anxiety is a response that comes from our nervous system; telling ourselves to just calm down just makes it worse and judgment often occurs.
Sure, we can do deep breathing to help our bodies come back into harmony, but until we understand what’s creating the anxiety and bring compassion, LOVE and a new understanding to that part of you and me, “it” will just pop it’s head again, the next time we’re in a similar situation.
Have you ever said to yourself “okay, I’m not gonna be anxious today?” And then you go into that situation and your heart starts racing and your body starts shakin?
What is it that’s making you anxious, ya know, that internal fussiness? Why is it that we can be in one situation and not feel anxious and another situation where our body is shakin?
Our survival mechanisms will over ride any conscious effort. By understanding what’s going on internally, we CAN set ourselves free and experience inner peace and ease.
My anxiety showed up as continuously being busy, I couldn’t sit still from the minute I woke up until I went to bed and was asleep. During the daytime, my mind was racing and obsessing about money, food, weight and exercise. If I wasn’t exercising I was eating or working, the “anxiety” had a hold on me and was controlling my life journey.
Why was I so anxious and afraid? I felt like a worthless human being and I believed that I didn’t deserve anything, especially living. I was afraid of saying or doing the “wrong thing” and asking for my needs, cause as a little being I got screamed at when I wanted anything or when I expressed my feelings. Trying to suppress that energy, created anxiety in me.
Anxiety can show up in other ways too. Have you ever noticed that talking to friends you already know is pretty easy; it’s such a natural way to be? But talking in front of a room full of people with all eyes on us, may feel different and our bodies may “throw a fuss.”
Or, for some people, asking someone we’re attracted to out on a date may also “create anxiety.” Why? We’re “subjecting” ourselves to all kinds of views and we might be attached to how others see me and you. If we’re needing others approval and LOVE our energy is “out there” instead of anchored at our core and this may create anxiety, cause “what if they don’t like you and me; we must perform perfectly.”
This idea may or may not be happening consciously. If we have core beliefs of not feeling good enough or worthy, that will trigger anxiety whenever we “need” to be accepted by other human beings.
Sometimes it is also due to environmental or behavioral factors that may be easy to resolve. check on line viagra
When we’re centered inside, we feel at ease and we allow ourselves to BE and express naturally. Hey, some will like us and what we have to say and others may judge us in a negative way, that’s okay, we all see the world through what we believe and the ways we feel about you and me and we “project” that onto other beautiful beings.
Knowing that how people see, has nothing to do with you and me, allows us to feel at ease and express authentically, unless we’re “dependent” on “their” views on how we be, then, our friend called “anxiety chimes in.”
The key in healing from anxiety is not “fighting against it” numbing or suppressing it, or making ourselves bad or wrong for having it. A better approach is noticing where the anxiety started, ya know, where you and your true self “parted.” Where did you start to focus on how others view you? And why is it so important for them to “like you?”
Anxiety is a “survival energy” telling us “we’re not safe.” The question is “Why don’t we feel safe? What are we needing? What are we “projecting?” What’s really going on internally that’s creating the anxiety that may need some compassion, LOVE and a true understanding/perception shifting?
What social consequences are at stake? What are you afraid of “not” getting? For example; LOVE and acceptance from other human beings?
How can we make friends with the “anxiety” and ask it what it’s needing; and give that to that part of me and you, so we can experience true relief.
Since energy can’t be destroyed, only be transformed, what if you brought the “anxiety” into your heart and you treated it like a little child; you acknowledged it, accepted it, allowed it to be seen, you let it speak and tell you what it wants and needs and why it’s showing up on your life journey?
Why do I say “it’s a little child?” Cause, most likely it’s our inner child who wants to feel safe in situations where it may have experienced hurt and pain, and is continuing to see/feel in the same ways, because ya haven’t “healed” on the inner plane.
We “heal” from anxiety or any other symptoms we’re having by listening to the messages they’re conveying, why they “showed up” in the first place and how they’re serving in some way. When we meet the needs of this tender part of you and me, and give it compassion, understanding and LOVEing, most often the “symptoms” fall away naturally.
