A Recovering Pessimist

Dear God/Goddess, So you know that I am a recovering pessimist. And when I was always thinking the worst, it sure gave me a lot to worry about. It seemed like I was always waiting for the other shoe to drop. I am so much better these days, but that feeling still shows up once in a while. The difference now is that I know all those thoughts will become a self-fulfilling prophecy. At first I didn’t believe that my thoughts created my reality, but I figured, if it is true, then why not think about things I would like to create, rather than worry about what I did not want to create. I have been asking a lot of questions about this, and reading everything I could find on this subject. I have been observing how the average of my thoughts and feelings actually do create similar vibrations that came back to me, sometimes I see it right away, sometime it takes a little longer. I saw the movie “The Secret” and it was amazing, but can you help me regarding why it is still so easy to fret and worry, even when I know all this, and what I can do about it?

My Dear Sweet Child, this has been something that has been part of you for a long time, and it will not be easy to overcome. It has been a long time habit, but habits can be changed. When you recognize that you are worrying, and you are not feeling good, then that is the time to stop, and step back, and ask yourself, can you do anything about the thing you are worrying about right now? If not, then stop and look around and see if there is something that you can feel appreciative and happy about right now. If there is something that can be done, ask yourself if is possible for you to do it now or plan to do it soon, rather than just worrying about it. There are many ways to help you overcome this worring. You have have already done a lot to decrease this in your life, be glad for that.

More on this subject tomorrow……
