If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the lack of sleep. – Dale Carnegie

Let’s watch self and our tendency to manufacture thoughts about what can go wrong. We misuse our creativity when we dwell on the negative. Did we know that our brain is wired for positivity and optimism? Let’s support our own biology and be happier!

Why ‘All Is Well’!
You are loved. All is well. – Abraham
nothing?
What if there was nothing? Would there still be us? Would there still be that witness, within us? That quiet, still, awake, awareness within us, that which sees everything, will always be there.
all is well
God, the ultimate reality, wanted to share himself. So she created us. We spring from that eternal source. We don’t die. If there’s nothing, there still is us. Our core is never threatened. All is well.

trouble
When real or perceived trouble approaches we get stressed. We often don’t know what to do about it. This week let’s focus on another principle that’ll help us tackle worry. ’Living in day-tight compartments’ was the first principle to help us disengage from worry! Thank you Dale Carnegie for sharing this wisdom with us!
life principles
2nd Principle to Overcome Worry: Know how to face trouble a) Ask yourself, “What is the worst that can possibly happen?” b) Prepare to accept the worst. c) Try to improve on the worst.
Figuring out the worst case scenario forces us to face it. Once we face it we may find that it’s really not that bad. Next we can ‘prepare’ to deal with such an eventuality. Finally we can do what we can to improve the situation. Let’s use our thinking faculty, stop hyper-ventilating and do the best we can!

How To Banish Worry (series)

1st Principle to Overcome Worry: Live in “day tight compartments.”
Here’s a bit of background on this principle from this site:
“This term was first coined by Sir William Osler when he encountered this life-changing quote from Thomas Carlisle, “It is not our goal to see what lies dimly in the distance but to do what clearly lies at hand.”
Why worry when we can live in joy now and today? Let’s live in ‘day tight compartments’. By doing that we get accustomed to focusing on the here and the now. We deal with issues based on their relevance to today, only. Let’s try it!

How To Understand FEAR…
You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith. – Mary Manin Morrissey
false evidence appearing real (F.E.A.R)
If we watch our thoughts, especially how they initiate and where they lead, we’ll become cognizant of how much fear and worry dominate our lives. Some of it arises from our animal instinctual nature and the rest is self-manufactured and habitual. It’s quite a waste and very harmful to self. What will we do about it?
faith and love
The antidote to fear is reasoned faith and love. The nagging negative voice inside us must be identified. Becoming aware of it then allows us to supplant it with the logic driven faith that a higher power is in control. A love and service driven life can reinforce the central premise that we live in an ordered and purposeful Universe. When love is fully present within us fear cannot co-exist.

The Secret To Peace…
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God. – A Course In Miracles
what’s real?
Anything of value to the Universe/Creator is real. Anything of value exists because it ought to. We, in our essence, at our core, are real.
‘peace of God’
Once we realize that nothing about us or anyone else is truly threatened, we can rest easy. We can be at peace when we know we’re safe.

Why We Must Be ‘Frisky’!
Your Inner Being is just like your frisky two-year old who is eager for life experience. – Abraham
inner being
There resides within us an essence of All That Is. That infinite sparkle desires to express itself as us. It’s up to us if we’ll let that happen. It’s up to our ego if we’ll allow it. Will we allow the Creator expression through us?
frisky!
The way we allow it is by being trusting, faithful and playful. Worry or fear has no place in such a life. We live as though all’s well and all will be well. We go about discovering, creating and enjoying the life that we co-create with Divine Intelligence. Are we up to it?
