I was anxious about my future. Are you anxious about your future?

It was a lovely warm day and I was swimming just off “Blueberry Island” in Quebec. As I swam along I felt such anxiety about my future. All a sudden I was not enjoying my swim. I was afraid of upcoming university for my son, the basement flooding, that stack of bills, how well the car would work. Most of these things were excellent, I just felt that something was going to go wrong.

Do you sometimes feel something is just going to go wrong when everything is fine? Now that is being anxious about your future. At times, it can seem overwhelming. Where does this anxiety come from, what is its source? We are all aware that even when things are going well, things can and do go wrong. I recognize that this is part of human nature. When you feel this strongly, it can become overwhelming.

I became aware that I needed to heal the belief that things won’t work out, will break down or in another way not meet my needs. It is the belief, the doubt about the future, that needs to be healed. How can this be healed?

Being honest is a great place to start. Are there underlying fears that contribute to the anxiety? Here is a healing exercise that can help (the Forgiveness Ceremony):

1. I bless myself

2. I bless my future

3. I bless all who had to witness it

4. I bless Creator (God, Universe)

Continue to bless all four items until you feel you understand the root of the problem..

The Forgiveness Ceremony is one of my favourites. Please remember to show up for yourself and be the change you desire in your life.

As always, if I can be of service at Gentle Bear Healing, I am here.
