Worry – The Struggle Not To Worry


You wake up at night, you try and tell yourself its going to be ok. You as friends and they also tell you “you’ll be fine” – but then you don’t take them serious nor their well-meant comment. You maybe try meditating, you might try and stop thinking about it actively by reading, doing sports or calling a friend but the thoughts always come back to your mind. Does that sound familiar? You don’t KNOW that your dark future vision will actually become reality but you still “fear” it will and so you concentrate more and more on the outcome that you do not want – and the more you think about what you don’t want to happen the more you are likely to subconsciously do everything to prove to yourself that your thoughts and worries were the correct “prediction” of an actually unwritten future!

We often fear the future but since no one knows what will happen we all have the ability to take steps towards what we can influence and can control. Not many people gave the Corona Virus any thought in April last year – did you know this was going to happen? Did you worry about it last year in April? No, because you didn’t know and just as you didn’t know then you don’t know what your future will bring so you need to, you MUST concentrate and focus on the steps and measures you can take to live a happy and fulfilled life. Then you take whatever obstacle comes your way, one step at a time.

Consider your options! The biggest worry currently for most of my clients is jobs and money. Can you start an online business? Can you move your business online? Can you apply for governmental funds? Can you ask for help with friends and family? Are you prepared to work in the fields that are now needed, hospitals, supermarkets, warehouse, logistics, help with childcare etc – the government has a special link for this at least for jobs in London/ Britain

There are always options – please reach out if you would like some help!
