Constant Worry: Created By You

"Every evening I turn my worries over to God. He's going to be up all night anyway." ~ Mary C. Crowley

Constant worry is a trait that many of us have - but it doesn't have to be that way.

When each of us was born, we were given the most magnificent gift and the ability and freedom to use it in any manner that we prefer. This most precious present was given to us gratis and one of the things we are doing silently and invisibly while we learn to walk, talk, read, etc. is to use this fabulous, free gift.

Let me pique your curiosity right away: the gift I'm talking about is your mind. It's rather unfortunate that very few of us learn the proper use of this greatest of gifts. There is no blame to be placed on those who taught us. If those who taught them had known, we'd all have been blessed with this knowledge lo, many generations back.

I'd like to set the story straight for this generation and those that follow: the secret not often told about this great Mind gift, is that when you use your mind positively, your mind creates positive things. When you use your mind negatively, your mind creates evil things. It's unfortunate that not more of us know this, but, now you know, so please spread the word!

Your mind is pristine, pure, and untouched when you are born. If at that time, we could have been taught to only think those thoughts that would help us, life would be so different. But some of us were taught to hurry and to worry, and this use of mind is so unfortunate. The story of Job tells about a man who worried and "his own worst fear came upon him." In today's vernacular: If you use your mind to worry, you will create with that mind the same thing you are worrying about."

Why Do People Worry?

Some people have constant worry as a chronic habit. One lady told me "My grandmother taught me to worry." Do you recognize that your worries come from your fears, and that neither worry nor fear ever created one good thing? This is using your precious mind gift to create something you do not want! Worry makes you feel awful internally.

Some people worry because they feel like they're not in control of their lives. They don't understand that all of life's challenges can be met with positive thinking, so the things they worry about unnecessarily take up the time during which they can use their minds to create a bettered experience for themselves and their loved ones. Constant worry affects your mind as well as your body.

Some people worry because they are anticipating the worst: they'll fail a test, they'll never meet their right mate; they'll never have enough money, etc. They look into the future and it's covered with black clouds.

Could you begin to entertain the idea of stopping the fear, the hurry, the worrying?

Next time you begin to worry, you could make yourself consciously aware that you're headed down this dead end street again, and use your precious gift to visualize a bettered result. Wrap yourself and your loved one in thoughts of peace, joy, success and use your mind gift to create it. If you can confront the things that are making you worry, chose another action that will resolve the situation. Ascend into your own power and then you won't have a reason to have constant worry in your life.
