Uncertainties Cause Feelings of Anxiety.

​Uncertainties Cause Feelings of Anxiety. I wrote about this in my book, The Thought Detox: Breaking Free From A Negative Thought Life.

I was reading an article in O Magazine (Spring 2019 edition); a lady is giving a detailed account of her PTSD. She is a hurricane survivor that made this statement, “We are trying to figure out how we deal with the ocean, which is a crazy thing. We will always be at risk.”

Uncertainties Cause Feelings of Anxieties.

I thought to myself, isn’t this just like all of us? Most of us have all been through some kind of trauma, and that trauma can feel like an ocean raging out of control that we are stuck in. It causes us to become uncertain and anxious in life. But what do we do?

Learning to acknowledge, accept, and allow what we cannot control can be very hard for individuals who are suffering from any form of mental or physical trauma. Experiencing this type of pain can cause individuals to live in a perpetual state of guardedness; this can feel like being on guard duty all the time, which is exhausting.

I now practice acknowledging, accepting, and allowing things to "just be." It has not been easy learning to trust in this life. However, I refuse to live in fear and allow fear to lead me to, nowhere. I choose to spend quiet moments with The Creator to learn to live free and with that comes the daily challenge of overcoming my fears! 
I choose freedom from fear! My prayer is that you do too!
