WHAT IS BENEATH OUR ANXIETY?
A lot of people don’t realize what really matters is what makes you feel like you are living an authentic, aligned, and unique life that is lifegiving. Anxiety shows up when something isn’t lining up for us in our lives. It could be that things are aligning with our values or it could be the highs and lows of life.
Anxiety is our body’s response to something not aligning.
Whatever is the reason for our anxiety, we have to understand our human nature and how we have been living our lives.
We live life with this mentality of living in the world. And naturally, we conform to how others are living their lives. But, there is so much more to us than what meets the eye (literally).
We are so much more than our achievements, goals and successes. We were never meant to live our lives chasing after the next thing that might satisfy us, and when we realize that, we no longer covet worldly things. Instead, we find true freedom to live with a deep sense of peace and rest.
Imagine that life. What does that life look like to you?
Here are some questions that will help you start picturing that life:
What do you value?
What are your values?
What are your gifts, strengths, skills?
Are you using those giftings, strengths, and skills? If so, how are you using them? If not, how can you use them?
What’s your reason for waking up in the morning? What do you want to feel waking up in the morning?
What’s your reason for going to bed at night? What do you want to feel when you go to bed at night?
Do you feel lonely or anxious?
What is causing those feelings of loneliness and anxious? What can you do to resolve the issue that is causing those feelings?
Do you feel unsatisfied with your life?
