Embrace Your Anxiety with Love and Mindfulness 🌿
Apr 08, 2024
I hope this message finds you in a moment of peace amidst the hustle and bustle of our daily lives. This week, I felt a profound urge to talk about something that touches many of us yet often goes unspoken: the stirring tides of anxiety.
We've all been there, haven't we? Standing at the edge of our comfort zones, feeling the waves of worry and overwhelm trying to sweep us off our feet. It's in these moments that I want to remind you of the power of turning to these anxious feelings with an open heart, filled with love, kindness, and compassion.
The Gentle Embrace of Mindfulness
Imagine for a moment that your anxious feelings are like clouds in the sky. They seem all-encompassing, shrouding us, but give them time, and they will drift. Mindfulness teaches us to observe these clouds without trying to chase them away or hold onto them. Just like the sky, there is a vastness in you, capable of holding these clouds with gentleness and patience.
1. Acknowledge Without Judgment
Let's start by simply being with our worries, without dissecting or suppressing them. When you allow yourself to feel, you let the light of awareness dissolve the shadows of anxiety.
2. Discover the Roots With Curiosity
Mindfulness invites us to explore, not fight, the roots of our stress and worry. It's in this exploration that we find clarity and understanding, like finding the source of a river that flows through us.
3. Create a Space of Freedom
By understanding our fears, we create a space around them. This doesn't make the fears disappear, but it gives us room to breathe, to see that we are much more than our worries.
Simple Steps to Anchor in the Present
In moments of anxiety, remember these three anchors:
- The Now - Open your heart to the present, welcoming all sensations without preference.
- Your Breath - Let your breath be your guide back to calmness, focusing on its path through your body.
- Your Being - Sit with your whole self, embracing the body's sensations, grounded and whole.
