This column helps me continue
to research and find ways to improve my life, to gain health. And, when I started
learning about the body’s physical reaction to thought, even when we do not act
upon it, I finally understood why I feel the way I do.
Yes, I have laughter and love
in my life. I am creative, I connect with nature and I meditate several
times a week but I have a worrisome mind. I worry about financials, my kids, my
schooling, my career and this list can go on and on. I learned how to worry
from my mom. I am not blaming her for this habit; she did the best she could
during unhealthy circumstances. This is how she coped and this is how I cope.
But when I started thinking
about how many thoughts we generate and how these thoughts trigger the body to
respond, I finally understand why I feel so exhausted and unhealthy.
I think my worrying pattern
takes up maybe 40% of my thoughts. This is not okay! This past week, each time
I start thinking about the worst scenario of a future outcome, I tried to reel
myself back into the present moment. I changed my self-talk in order to help my
mind from being distracted. What does this mean? I can only do my best each
day, and beyond that, the outcome is the outcome. Worrying only causes illness.
I am starting to understand this and to make the changes necessary to embrace a
healthier essence!
