Anxiety is Living in the Moment that Hasn’t Come

So here I am doing my work at my favorite place Covernotes Café in Newmarket and I overhear this couple having a conversation that I am quite in awe of. The gentleman says: “anxiety is living in the moment that hasn’t come, It’s anticipating the moment. Not living in the moment”. Whoa!

How amazing is that?! What an incredible insight into anxiety and into myself.

Living in Anxiety’s Moment

I struggle with worry at times. I want things to be perfect and they’re never going to be and I get hung up on the details. At other times I can easily go with the flow accepting that life is messy and things will work themselves out.  Living in the moment is why I do Qi Gong. It’s why I strive to search the world over…ok Toronto and surrounding area to find healers and mystics that will help me make the next step in my evolution in consciousness.

It’s the most important thing to me in the world. To grow and live lovingly in each moment without fear or needing to vanish into the wind. Being still. Comfortably still. That is something I have been working on forever it seems. In my healing practice, when clients feel all these feelings of discomfort, anxiety, pain, fear, loneliness I can most definitely relate. It’s not that I have arrived. I probably never will stop trying but it’s that I know how it feels and I’ve learned some tools to help.  To speed the journey through the muck and fear and discomfort to finally revel in love and joy.  My hope is that each individual can be fully and completely supported and heard through their own personal transformation, whatever that looks like for them.

I believe that there is immense power in being heard and being felt.

I believe that a powerful experience can completely change our perspective. Change the Way You Look at Things and the Things You Look at Change. All that can happen in an instant! I wrote this before the amazing Dr. Wayne Dyer crossed over to the other side but it seems even more important now.

Life can feel like hell. Life can also be utterly blissful.

Which have you chosen? What is being done to further your goal? For me, it depends on the day. Sometimes I succeed at going with the flow and other times I struggle against it, resisting the messiness of life.

One thing is for sure, you have the power to make a different choice and there are always infinite choices in front of you if you pause and really let them become clear behind all the fear.

Wishing you all love, peace and joy today and everyday.
