Finding That Place Within Where Nothing Is Impossible
As I haphazardly make my way thru this charming little mess called Life, I occasionally battle the Worry Monster.
Worrying about or overthinking stuff takes up way too much of my time and zaps my energy... especially because 99.9% of the time what I'm worried about never happens.
I'm told this form of worry and overthinking stems from a 15 year toxic relationship where I never knew what to expect from one moment to the next. He could change course on a dime. I had to be ready for anything or the consequences could be worse than not being ready at all.
It's a self-preservation tactic that's been a challenge to unlearn.
When the Worry Monster strikes...
I start asking myself questions to find out the root cause. I also ask myself what's the worst that can happen, what's the best that can happen, and why it even matters.
I interrogate myself until I snap out of it. But, once in a while, the monster is too stubborn to budge.
I came across a quote...
"You must find that place within yourself where nothing is impossible."
This quote, for which no Author was given, got stuck in my head.
I decided to put a shortened version of the quote on an image to add to my collection. I look thru these quotes often.
The past couple of days...
This quote raced thru my mind with every worrisome thought I had.
Either unseen Forces or my sub-conscious mind is trying to tell me something because this quote is thoroughly embedded in my head!
This quote has become a weapon against the Worry Monster.
It's a reminder that I am more than capable of handling whatever life throws my way.... without the endless, needless, preparation, and rehearsing... and that my limitations are self-induced.
Parting thoughts...
Life is a journey of ups and downs. There's no way around it.
Have I found that place within myself where nothing is impossible? Not quite but I’ve been given a glimpse of it and I’m not giving up!
Will this quote cure me of worry and overthinking? I’m not positive there is a cure but it's implanted in my brain and can certainly help me to keep moving forward.
Until next time,
Connie 🌹
