That's me deep in thought!! So let's begin with anxiety/ worrying
If it can be worried about, I worry about it! I start with a lil' thought and then as time goes by it snowballs into something huge. My mind obsesses over it and it won't let go. Worrying doesn't make the future easier it makes the present harder. When I'm nervous my heart races, I feel it in my gut. It's oddly enough a guilty gut feeling. hmmmm... not sure what I'd be guilty about.
A miracle has occurred this year. I have rebuilt my relationship with God. I now 'let go and let God' for most things. But there are many things that that phrase doesn't help with. The anxiety is way out of my control at many times. I have created a God box in which I put anything that I'd like to hand over to God in there.
Recognizing that there is a higher power who is IN CHARGE has been so beneficial for me.
I have many many a fears! Maybe I'll list some here.
Fears:
house fire
accident with car
dryer fire
daily mail (bad news???)
social situations depending on the atmosphere
I'm sure some people have similar fears but they don't let the fears control your life.
There are many more fears but these few are the major ones that concern me each day.
I know when I am art journaling my fears seem to disappear. This is why I went for a master's in Art Therapy, because it works!!!! it is so therapeutic. I might get a book of mandalas to color. They are so relaxing to make. I will post several blogs on the topic of Mandala in the near future. I want to read the book I have again called , 'Creating Mandalas".
OOOOh on another note ... today is Soul Collage Meetup!
