How Anxiety Delivers What We Are Worrying About
ByIn Spirituality there are two worlds. There is the world we know by our senses and mind. There is a world that has no form.
Living in the world without form is living in the hear and now. It is the world that connects you to consciousness. When living in the hear and now you are connected to all Universal energies.
Living in the world of form is one dominated by ego. You have consciousness of your form as a vehicle separate from all other living forms. You live unconsciously in thoughts about the past and future. Your thoughts run a stream of desires, worry, anxiety, criticism, blaming, and fear.
It is difficult to enter the highest emotional intelligent state of “flow” where an activity is performed at your highest level because there are no distractions or judgments. You are performing at your peak and an athlete would say everything is seen in slow motion.
In “Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose” , Eckhart Tolle says we can live in three modalities that perfect our existence in consciousness. They are acceptance, enjoyment and enthusiasm.
Acceptance of an activity is the recognition that even if you do not like it, you need to complete it to move through to your purpose. This acceptance is a positive energy. If you cannot accept an activity you should stop it.
Enjoyment is the treasuring of a present experience. Enjoyment is the key to happiness. It is the anchor that keeps you in the present without thoughts of past or future. Learning to enjoy every moment and every experience is the key to remaining in consciousness.
Enthusiasm is enjoyment plus your vision or purpose. It includes everyone and does not create separation or exclusion. It is the highest form of enjoyment and can be likened to flow or being in the zone.
Spirituality and the Kabbala emphasized the need to eliminate reactions to negative states. Tolle and the Kabbala say the ability to eliminate negative reactions such as resentment, criticism, condescension, judgment, racism, jealousy, blaming, fear, and anxiety, keep you in your conscious mind and is the secret to enlightenment and transformation.
Awareness begins when you are conscious of your thoughts. You can observe them and know that you are thinking something negative. This is the start. When something annoys me or I start having a negative thought, I take three breaths and pay attention to the breathing. Then I listen to see if I am hearing everything in my environment. This brings me back to the present. If a noise or thought persists, I do it again. Once you start doing this through all activities, you will find that negative thoughts do not last long. The ego starts to lose control.
When you are moving on a positive path, your performance will avoid or find alternatives to what creates your fear. If you don’t worry about the future today, you can enjoy today.
