I’m against “killing” anxiety.
When it comes to anxiety and negative emotions, there are thousands of articles out there on respected websites with a title of the type: “BEAT your anxiety, KILL your anxiety, GET RID OF your anxiety”.
But that’s exactly why anxiety is still there. Because you’re trying to kill it, to fight it, to run away from it!
If you want to feel better, ACCEPT your anxiety, WELCOME your anxiety, LOVE your anxiety.
LOVE yourself with your anxiety.
I’m also against asking “WHY I feel the way I feel”.
The chronic sufferer is suffering because they’re constantly asking WHY they’re suffering.
Why do I feel anxious?
Why can’t I stop thinking?
Why do I still feel that pain in my chest?
The obstacle to feeling better is you constantly asking why you’re not feeling better!
The habit of asking “why I feel the way I feel”, shows an unconscious attempt to escape from whatever you feel, to run away from it, to get rid of it right away.
But as the old saying goes, “what you resist, persists”.
Try for a week to allow all your emotions to be, to flow, to move.
You will feel better. Or maybe not. Still OK.
And if you start feeling better, don’t try to hold tight to it.
Allow those positive emotions to go and welcome those negative emotions back.
And let them come and go and come and go…
Have a lovely day and keep creating,
Angelos xx
PS: If you’re still meditating to stop your anxiety, I’d encourage you to stop meditating! Now you know why!
