Who wouldn't be anxious If you knew life like i knew my life, you would be anxious too. No matter what i do, no matter what I try nothing works, it seems pointless to even try. And my family, they have no idea; all they can do is challenge me, put me down. Stop hiding, Stand up and be counted Get out, take a chance Try to make friends Clean up your room You're not even trying They don't understand, and i can't explain what it is like to be me, I am afraid of everything and anything And yet, listening to this podcast, I assume there is a reason why the speaker is sharing this with me. Lets listen a bit more and see if there is reason to this madness. Richard states that if instead of declaring i have an anxiety disorder, that is a kiss of death on any chance of a normal life; why don't we try the concept that we are not mentally ill, we don't have a mental disorder; the truth is we worry, probably worry too much. We worry about the unknown future We worry about things beyond our control We worry we will never find a soulmate, or get a job or have meaning ort purpose. When we address our state from this perspective we can clearly see we are not mentally ill, everyone experiences worry most days, and we can ask others how they cope when they worry; copy them and grow in confidence. And then we have to be open to the concept of God as the best solution. Science, Religion and Spirituality tell us, what we focus on, we attract into our lives Therefore what we focus on, that becomes our focus of attention, and if it cant be seen in real time, if it is not tangible; then it is Spiritual. The bible argues that when we talk about the spirit, we are distinctly choosing some form of God to deliver to us, a life that we desire. we desire this life, by where we put all our attention and intention. this means if your focus is anxiety as a mental disorder, and it gives you meaning and purpose, then anxiety and mental health are your False Gods. If all your attention and intention is on Anxiety in all its forms, and you choose that one single feeling out of the 10,000 feelings and emotions you can experience in any one moment,as your identity, to rule and define you; then know anxiety is your False God, and you are your own worst enemy Furthermore, if you could for even one moment, say for the next 5 minutes choose the Creator to replace your false god, you would know peace of mind beyond your wildest dreams breathe in through your nose only exhale through your mouth relax your body repeat: "Voices in my mind, all of my worries, all of my fears and anxieties of the unknown future, I know you have been my constant bed fellow for all this time, and as much as I feel naked without you by my side, I am committed to trying this practice. In this moment, I demand you leave my mind, heart and soul. I call on The Creator, to send a whole host of angels, 10,000 strong, to grasp these fears and anxieties by the ankles and drag them from my whole being for the next 10 minutes. Anxieties, Fears, Panic, Voices; I cast you all out for these 10 minutes, begone. Now, simply sit back and relax and become aware that you are at peace. It is this simple, you can choose for how long Any amount of time up to 24 hours at a time. I always demand peace of mind at night casting out my demons for 8 hours before bed. You can do this, you are the only one who can You are not your past, and the only future you have to contend with is the next 10 minutes of peace of mind. #healinganytraumamemory #traumarecoveryanonymous #howtolivestressandanxietyfree24hoursaday
