Do you constantly worry?\u00a0 Are you feeling drained of your precious energy?\u00a0 Depressed?\u00a0 Perhaps something about your relationships, finances, career, health, or maybe even the world at large grips you with worry.\u00a0 Maybe you are an athlete who worries.\u00a0 Don’t fret.\u00a0 Here\u2019s an exercise you might consider whenever your worries invade you.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are only fundamentally two human emotions \u2013 Love and Fear.\u00a0 Everyone would pretty much agree that \u201cWorry\u201d is a first-cousin of Fear.\u00a0 By the nature of these two diametrically opposed emotions, one cannot possess them both at the same time.\u00a0\u00a0 Therefore, when you are worrying, you cannot be in a state of love.\u00a0 Yes, you can shift back and forth between them, but when you blanket yourself with Fear or Worry, you push Love and its many powers aside.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Do you doubt me?\u00a0 Try this following exercise.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Step One:\u00a0 Invoke the Power of Love<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 2:\u00a0 Worry<\/strong><\/p>\n Now put Step One\u2019s memory aside and pick from your list of worries. \u00a0For most of us, this part of the exercise is easier. Allow yourself to remember why you worried and recount to yourself all the reasons to worry. \u00a0When you got a good worry going, pause and check in with your body. \u00a0How do you feel? \u00a0Do you feel powerful, capable of handling whatever comes your way? \u00a0Compare this feeling to the one you had during Step One. \u00a0Which do you prefer? \u00a0Which would you prefer to send out into the world?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Step 3:\u00a0 Go back to the love memory.<\/strong><\/p>\n I don\u2019t want to leave you with that worry feeling. \u00a0Take a minute now and bring back that memory that filled you with so much love and power. \u00a0Allow it to fill you again, and again take the time to notice how it feels.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/robertfagan\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/33\/2011\/07\/grandma3.jpg\")
<\/a>Sit comfortably and begin thinking about something that is easy to love. For this exercise pick something that you are not currently involved in worrying about. It might be playing with your parents, or children, dancing, or how about cooking with Grandma?\u00a0 Let\u2019s take the Grandma example.\u00a0 Take the time to remember how everything felt, the smiles, the laughter, the smells. \u00a0Really get into the exercise until such time that you feel the opening in your heart, the smile on your face. Note how you feel, the energy, the power that is accessible to you in this moment.<\/p>\n
