I woke up this morning feeling incredibly worried. Fearful of something I am about to do, something I have agreed to take part in.
It’s new and I don’t know what to expect – therefore, I feel very nervous. Which is absolutely ‘normal’ if I allow myself to use that word. Nothing strange to feel nervous, at all.
Many of us live our lives in fear. In any given situation, we think about the worst possible thing that may happen. The thought is there, automatically without us even noticing where it came from. We visualize terrible things for the future, catastrophise everything in our minds until we are so feared up that we barely have any energy left for anything.
Does it sound familiar? How can we deal with our fantastic ability to fantasize about all the things that could go wrong? Try this :
In any given situation, try to visualize the best possible outcome. Close your eyes and see it happening in front of you. Then remind yourself that this is actually likely to happen. If the negative thoughts about everything that could go wrong comes back to you , think again and look for the evidence.
Fear and worry is overcome by having faith. Faith in that good things do happen, and will happen.
Today I will practice visualising the best possible outcome for all the scary things I have got to do this week. I challenge you to do the same. Good luck!
