Everythjng is perfect. Just as it should be. Right in this moment is happiness and peace. Unhappiness, anxiety, worry is not about this very moment, its about yesterday and tomorrow. I cant change yesterday and tomorrow so i will stay where the peace is, right here in this moment.
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see? (Lewis Caroll)
Its not easy and im not great at it but today whenever a what if or my mind goes into hijack mode where i build up a little doubt into a huge catastrophe and feel the pain of future made up catastrophe, im taking a look around and telling myself just for today everyhting is alright. No catastrophe to deal with yet so im ok, my familys ok, everything is just as it should be in the state its in right now. Perfect. This is as good as it gets. Now what do i feel like doing right at this moment? No, not eating loads of chocolate thats lying about this house!!!!!!! Il have an apple.lol
What worked for me were the inventory steps...the self knowledge process after I found out that most all of my problems are self generated whether I liked it or not. The opposite is also true...with intention and planning and effort I can created the opposite...the good stuff. Great Post. (((((hugs)))))
Also, its a higher power thought too. If everyone is on their own journey that ultimately leads to wisdom in some form or other then there is no catastrophes, no crisises or bad things because everyone has a higher power so everything is just a learning experience and opportunity to progress. To stay in the moment and let go of the doom stories is to trust that everything is just right and everyone is in the exact place they need to be.
