For those of us prone to anxiety we know that fear and worry and anxious states can come from a variety of places such as:

1. fear of change
2. fear of the unknown
3. shyness
4. fear of being disapproved of
5. fear of criticism
6. financial circumstances (which we are dealing with at our sister site, The Warm Milk Prosperity Journal)
7. being in a new place
8. being in a new situation
9. being around new people
10. social situations
11. fear of not being good enough (aka our perfectionism)
12. health issues
13. worries about children
14. worries about parents
15. job related stress
16. relationship/marital issues

Yes, it seems like an endless list. The good news is that we are bigger than our anxiety. We have it within us to find our peace, our loving center. Love, my friends, will beat over fear anytime- hands down.

So this evening I encourage you to just breathe and be content with the knowledge that you are peace. You are love. Outward circumstances and situations will come and go. You have the good stuff within you to stay the course. The calm, strong course.

Perhaps in your journal this evening you can write a few words of affirmation for yourself such as:

I am peace

I am safe

I am loved

I am enough

I am bigger than my “problems”

I enjoy life at my ease.

Good night and sweet dreams!
