Time Traveling

I was recently invited to lead a workshop for an Online Summit talking about anxiety, along with five other women, who are all anxiety coaches. Anxiety is not necessarily my area of expertise, meaning I wouldn't hang a shingle saying I'm an anxiety expert or coach, but I do know quite a bit about it.

During this summit, I was thinking about what actually causes people to start to feel anxious, unsettled, nervous, and really move into a state of fear; as opposed to being in their natural state, which is calm, peace, love, and happiness. The state that I believe we were created to be.

Today on The Karen Kenney Show, we’re talking about what it means to “leave our right mind” and time travel out of the present moment and into either the past or the “what if” possibility of the future.

Whether we travel backward or project forward in time, the act of leaving our present day moment is where anxiety lives. It’s where we start to write and tell ourselves the stories that hold us hostage in an anxious state.

The key here is to remember that our thoughts are just that; thoughts. They’re not real and it’s up to us to decide if we want to stay with those stories and plot lines of suffering, or if we want to use some spiritual tools to “stop it”, and return home to Love and to the present moment where the healing actually happens.
