Fear. Anxiety. Stress. Worry.
Irritating little bastards, aren’t they?
They start as a thought. A “playing out” in your mind of an imaginary future:
“What if this happens?”
“What if that doesn’t happen?”
Then you see it all in your minds eye going terribly wrong.
It’s easy to say that they are all “what ifs” and not to waste your energy on them. But it’s hard to ignore them when they creep up on you and give you that snake in the belly feeling and that crushing in your chest.
What is it that does that? It’s you! You are the magician that can create a whole pharmacy of chemicals that can physically effect your body, just by thought alone! Amazing!!
Your brain can’t tell the difference between an imagined scenario and a real one. It reacts in exactly the same way. So an anxious thought about a future event that hasn’t yet happened creates the same chemical reaction inside your body as if there was a real life bear standing outside of your cave. The thought creates the feeling. The feeling has a chemical reaction inside your body. The chemical reaction causes stress hormones to put you into “fight or flight” mode to protect you from the bear.
But ….. there is no actual bear. You imagined it!!
Don’t push the bear away and try to ignore it. It doesn’t like being locked in a cage. Become AWARE of it.
And more so, become aware of how you have just magically created the chemicals to physically effect your body, just with a thought!
Now look at the flip side …… and realise that you also have the POWER to create the chemicals that can make you feel on top of the world!
“You’re a Wizard, Harry!”
Think about that for a moment.
