I used to worryâŚ. A LOT! I actually bought into my own story that âthis is just who I am, Iâm a worrierâ.
But then I began my journey of spiritual and personal growth and learned just how powerful our thoughts and words really are so I took a closer look as to WHY I was a worrier.
Just for fun, letâs start with the definition of worrying according to Merriam-Webster:
- 1 : dialectal British : strangle, choke
- 2 : to move, proceed, or progress by unceasing or difficult effort : struggle
- 3 : to feel or experience concern or anxiety : fret worrying about his health
YIKES! There is nothing about this that is desirable for sure, so why did I do it? Why did I worry so much? Where did it all begin? So I decided to look into that and hereâs what I discovered, I was simply mimicking behavior I had observed.
This is my Dad
He loved my two sisters and I very much, and he worried about us always. In fact, at least once a day he would tell us, âYou know I love you right? And you know I worry about you.â So itâs possible that somehow I associated love with worry.
But Dad didnât just worry about us three girls; he worried about everything, so much so that he often suffered needlessly with ulcers.
Once I figured all this out it was too late to help my Dad, he crossed over several years prior, but it wasnât too late to help myself! I do have to admit, itâs a little difficult to quit worrying cold turkey but I was persistent. Every time I would catch myself beginning to worry about something I would stop and remind myself that my thoughts are energy! If this is something that is new to you just bear with me for a moment because you really should learn this.
Yes, itâs true, our thoughts are Energy, and they are Vibration. So when we think a thought it doesnât just sit around inside out heads, it literally goes out into the Universe and creates the thing we were thinking of. You donât have to take my word for this science has already proven it. If you have any doubts I encourage you to do some research into quantum physics.

But the good news is that you can also use this information in your favor, which means you can CHOOSE to think about the things or outcomes that you DO want rather than the ones you donât want.
I wonât go into a full explanation right now about why we donât instantly have everything we think about, that will be coming in the future though⌠But this post is about worry and how focusing on things that you donât want will result in you getting things you donât want. Maybe not those exact things, but undesirable things for sure.
Just like with my Dad, you can literally cause a negative physical condition to happen inside your body simply because of your thoughts. But letâs take a look at this from a few different angles, starting with a very popular Universal Law, the Law of Attraction. Simply put, the Law of Attraction states, âThat which is like unto itself is drawn.â So, of COURSE, my Dad worried about everything, he literally âgot the ball rollingâ every day when he told us that he worried about us!
Once he allowed himself to focus on that he had set his vibration for the day so he naturally kept thinking of more things to worry about, and the more things he worried about, the stronger his âworry vibrationâ got! So he was to the point that he was using most of his waking hours worrying about something, which is truly sad because that prevented him from being able to enjoy so many of the wonderful things in life.
Luckily itâs never too late to change, well, ok, I guess for my Dad it is, but heâs happy now, heâs with my Mom again.
But for me, it wasnât too late to change!

Like I said, it didnât happen overnight, but the effort I put into it brought me so many rewards and benefits that go way beyond simply not worrying anymore!
I am going to share with you a simple statement that I say to myself every morning when I wake up, in fact; I have been saying this daily since 2009 and the more I say it, the better my life gets!
Are you ready? Here it is:
Life is so easy
I invite you to give this a try, for the next 30 days, first thing in the morning, before you even get out of bed, begin saying, âLife is so easyâ. Keep repeating it until you get too busy to think about it. But then the next morning, say it again! Yes, itâs TRUE! Your words and thoughts carry a vibration that will attract to you circumstances and situations that are of a similar vibration, so why not use this to your advantage? Makes sense to me!
If you are thinking this is waaay to simple to have any real effect, then I CHALLENGE you to do it! Because I have proven in my own life that we don't have to struggle and fight to live the life we want, and I would love nothing more than for you to experience that too!
And if you need a little encouragement throughout your day, well, you can put this song on repeat đ
