Turn Your Worries into Wonderment

The definition of worry is to torment oneself with disturbing thoughts, to bite or snap repeatedly at something.

Worrying about something is a waste of time and energy; so why do we torment ourselves with such thoughts?

The reason is we don’t trust that everything will be as it needs to be. We’ve learned somewhere along the way that things might not be okay or the way we expect them to be.

We spend more time and energy worrying about jobs, relationships, children, the future, health, wealth, or dying, that we miss opportunities to expand, grow and prosper, not just as individuals, but as a whole.

One of the biggest worries people have today is the economy and financial security. With all the company closures, layoffs and the fear of recession, how will they survive; what kind of future will it be?

These worries leave one feeling helpless and fearful. The truth is, worrying is not going to change the outcome, but you can change your worries into wonderment.

What if by losing your job you end up finding another one that is more in alignment with you or, perhaps you always wanted to start your own business and this inspires you to actually live your dream or, you bump into someone and he has a wonderful opportunity for you?

We become consumed with worry and overlook what possibilities await us.

Can you see what you miss by worrying? Worrying doesn’t change what is happening. Changing your worry into wonderment does.

So how do you turn worries into wonderment?

Be willing to let go of whatever it is you are worried about. Trust that wonderment is available if you open the door.

* Wonder what opportunities are awaiting you.
* Wonder what new people you might meet.
* Wonder what miracles are unfolding.
* Wonder what gifts are waiting to be unwrapped.
* Wonder how your life will be different because of this experience.
* Wonder how you will grow and expand.
* Wonder what waits you on the other side.
* Wonder what it would be like not to worry.

Wonderment gives us a sense of inspiration, expansion and possibilities. Feel the difference between wonderment and worry.

Open the door to new beginnings and know that when you walk through you are inviting in all kinds of opportunities.

Breathe in the freshness of freedom; freedom to see and choose differently.

The freedom to let go of the worry and embrace the unknown potential and possibility that lie ahead for you.

Don’t limit yourself with worry; open the door to wonderment. You’re worth it.

Remember , when you Shine, the world shines brighter because of you!
