Worry is not an Option

February 8, 2011 drewrozell 1 Comment

No matter the subject (money, being accepted, success, etc.), worrying does not help improve your outcomes in any way.

In fact, when you worry about something, because you are focused on what you DON’T WANT, you cause what you DON’T WANT to expand.

That’s just the Law of the Universe…

When you worry, at best, you stay stuck right where you are. More commonly, the problem gets bigger and bigger until you become so uncomfortable that you finally make a change.

I hope that’s a real kick in the pants for you.

The habit of worrying is simply not an option if you wish to step into your Very Cool Life.

(read that sentence again…)

The only way out is to train yourself into choosing upgraded thoughts.

Any one can do it…

It just takes a willingness.

An awareness.

And practice.

But what a pittance to pay for the rewards that await you.

Set Your Bears Free: Letting go of Fear

January 17, 2011 drewrozell Leave a Comment

“Normal fear protects us; abnormal fear paralyzes us. Normal fear motivates us to improve our individual and collective welfare; abnormal fear constantly poisons and distorts our inner lives.”

– Martin Luther King

Imagine that you’re hiking in the woods.

You turn a corner and there’s a bear on the path in front of you.

Your body responds with a rush of adrenaline.

This is part of the body’s fear response; it’s your signal that there is danger around you and you’d be wise to take preventative measures. (In this specific case, hold your ground and make loud noises. Running is not a good idea. The bear is likely to chase you.)

This fear is normal. It is designed to protect you.

However, events that lead to this this kind of normal fear are rare.

There really aren’t that many bears — real or metaphorical —  in our lives.

The truth is that the vast majority of our fears (99.5%) fall into what Dr. King called abnormal fear.

Fear of failure. Fear of rejection. Fear of losing something. Fear of what someone else thinks.

Here’s the rub: Abnormal fear can start to feel a lot like normal fear. Adrenaline. Butterflies. Anxiety. Worry. Self-Doubt. All the way up to paralysis.

In the presence of such powerful feelings and emotions, we shrink. We stay stuck. We repel our desires.

What to do?

Abnormal fears are only thoughts that have been practiced over and over. Practice this way enough, and eventually you become “wired” for fear. It becomes a default response.

You begin to see bears where there are no bears.

The solution is to become aware of this habit, and to decide to begin the practice of upgrading your thoughts.

Any one can do it.

You just need to be willing to set your bears free and do something about it.
