The challenge in facing worries is to overcome the initial reflex to dislocate from the body and stop these worries. To combat this you need to pull away from the worries. You need to shift your attention away from the worries by fully connecting your feeling and sensations in the body. By leaning in and facing the worries instead of pulling away, you discover the compassionate presence that releases you from your worries.
What to do when you worry:
- Pause. When you realize you are worrying, the first step is to pause – to stop your physical activity- and to create space and create space for what is happening to you.
- Name it. If you can name the worry, you begin to free itself from its grip. After pausing, you can note what you are aware of: “anxiety,” “racing heart,” “obsessive worries.”
- Remember a larger truth. When you catch yourself worrying, you forget which is scared – love, beauty, joy, happiness and the beauty that surrounds us. To meet the worries, it helps to focus on what you are missing by wasting your time worrying. This will help you develop a sense of wholeness and peace.
- Think of a loved one. This helps bring a sense of beauty, inspiration, belonging, safety. This allows you to feel at home, uplifted, protected, and at ease.
- Breathe with the worries. As you breathe in allow yourself to feel the worries fully in your body. Without ant resistance, experience pressure, tightness, heat, or chilliness. As you breathe out feel a sense of release into space sense the love of life and wholeness of life.
- Offer compassion. As you breathe with worries, offer a sense of care to yourself. “I care about my suffering.” Extent your compassion to others also.
- Turn your attention somewhere else. If you feel like your worries are to hard to handle, seek someone else for trust for support and care.
As long as you are alive, you will always worry. It is apart of life, but do not ignore your worries or let it control you, face it, accept and get rid of it. Life has three components that is to live a happy, healthy and productive live. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.
