When I worry, I get busy [Week-143]
Lately, I find it hard to sleep, my chest tightens a bit, and I am overwhelmed by thoughts. My mind is active, searching for solutions. My breathing gets short. Then I remember that the greatest of catastrophes happens in my mind.
โPhrase of my authorship.โ
I was a young girl when I realized the importance of money. That it was not only to buy candy, but that with it, I could conquer my desires, my goals and build part of my life.
Let's say that money is not everything, but it moves many things in the world. To live with the basics, with dignity and comfort, it is necessary. Who does not want to live like that? Every human being deserves to live like this, with comforts that make his passage through the world lighter.
Looking ahead, I would have to say that one of the things that worries me the most is the economic situation.
I worry about not having what I need for my family and myself. For our health well-being, food, some comforts of my own in my home and to continue to support my husband building for the benefit of both of us.
I worry about not being able to achieve my entrepreneurial goals by having the tools to work what I love and doing it to the best of my ability.
At times, this worry has made me doubt my abilities and skills, my possibilities and opportunities, and even further whether I should keep trying or not.
It is complex how the mind can work against me at times. But, as I want to use it to my advantage, I choose to do:
๐ธ Breathe deeply and take breaks, because an oxygenated and rested mind thinks more about solutions than problems.
๐ธ Talk and talk. It can be to bring up my situation to someone who can guide me with applied strategies, or I say what I think out loud. There are things that sound one way in the head and quite another in the mouth, don't you think?
๐ธ Keep learning. I think ignorance would bind me to fear and uncertainty, instead of opening the door to opportunities.
๐ธ Execute and trust. Putting hands and heart to work to push away complaining and negative self-pity, knowing that God willing things will be better than they are now.
๐ธ And finally, eating a nice chocolate dessert occasionally. This will certainly reduce my stress.
I am sure that even if I do all this and more, the worry will still come to me, but I want to take control of what I can do.
In part her development is my responsibility, so I want (I hope) that what I fear so much is only in my mind and that in the end my hands will do much more than her, As I say to myself: "don't worry, be happy" ๐
