Choices Create Anxiety

 

"When you create you are constantly choosing,

which means that a certain amount of anxiety will,

most likely always attend as you create."

Jeff Crist 

In attempts to be authentic, we will face resistance of those who surround us. In these moments, we need to honor the self more than we crave the acceptance of others. To initiate change, as in shifting the direction of our journey, the inner voice needs to be heard above the roar of opposition.

If our emphasis is upon living a safe life, we will have fewer choices than if we step outside of our comfort zone. Listening to the advice of others can add to our perspectives, but the choices we make are of a higher nature when aligned with our individual expectations. Seeking clarity will direct us proficiently as we shed judgment of others.

Experiencing anxiety is inevitable when we chart new courses. Making new decisions can be frightening, but this does not mean we need to remain in a given place. As we feel anxious, recite positive affirmations rather than backsliding into fear. Reach out to the Divine in prayer or mantra to remain steady upon the new course.
