The cure for anxiety

Anxiety presents itself as real threat, a real fear, a real risk to safety. The honest truth is, it is the fear of the unknown. Anxiety is uncertainty of outcome. As humans we don't have control over our circumstances and struggles in life. They present themselves to us without permission. To make things worse, we make errors in judgment, mistakes and bad life choices, which means our goals move further away from us. So how do we navigate so much uncertainty and unpredictability in life? We let go. We let go of the reigns and let life take us where it wants to. We fight with life to give us the reigns, but it is deaf to our demands. Eventually, when we release the grip, we realise things start falling into place. Trusting in uncertainty can feel like a loss, a waste of your patience and hope, but there is no other other option. Humans want to see ahead and see the outcome. They desire predictability. But life is the opposite. It is unpredictable. And there is a certain beauty in that. The way to navigate anxiety is to release the strong attachment you have to the outcome. Strong attachment leads to imbalance behaviour. And so the delay in getting what you want is the opportunity to detach. #anxiety #attachment #uncertainty #lettinggo
