At Last A Life

When I have intrusive thoughts or feel anxious, it’s not important to me to try to rid myself of them anymore either. I no longer feel the need to repeat sayings in my head, such as ‘I accept this’, hoping that if I believed it enough, then this awful thing would go away.

I was making recovery way too important and just focusing on how to rid myself of how I felt, instead of just living and seeing what came along naturally.

But previously I never accepted this; life always had to go how I wanted it to and others must behave how I thought they should.

Worrying basically comes down to wanting one’s life to go perfect and to fit into your ideal of what should and should not happen;

The truth is that it’s not you that is thinking about your anxiety; it’s your mind’s habit to continually think about the subject.

If you are a constant worrier, perfectionist or think that life should always follow your rules and get stressed if it doesn't, then a real change is needed.

by refusing to feel it, nothing changed. It was only when I understood what was happening that my attitude shifted and I became open to it. As I now knew that this release, although uncomfortable, was a good thing and it was my body just looking after me by trying to free up this energy.

It is a self-created condition that is mainly brought on by long-term stress and worry and is your mind and body’s way of telling you that it has been overworked. Your body is trying to communicate with you and tell you to slow down and take things easy.

The answer is that adrenalin affects your body by making it work much faster than usual and can drain the energy from your muscles. This is the reason your limbs may ache and why you feel so physically tired at times.
