How To Stop Worry When It Comes

‘When worry comes, don’t go on autopilot; don’t just let it play over and over in your mind.’- Joel Osteen

Worrying about things is normal. We cannot stop it from happening. But we can do something about it. We can stop it from taking over our lives.

Before you give in to worry, ask yourself, ‘Is worrying going to make things better or worse? Am I helping myself or hurting myself?’

Negativity makes things worse, not better. Positivity makes things better, not worse.’

If the answers are not what you want to hear, then you must stop it. Worrying about things, especially things you can’t do anything about, it is a waste of time.

It is okay to worry about things, especially when things are not going well. But is not good to make it a habit. Don’t do it every day.

Because nothing is going to get better just by thinking negatively about it. If you want things to get better, you must change your thoughts. You must shift your state of mind.

Instead, focus on what you can do right now to make your situation better. Look for ways to make yourself happy.

If you are a reader, then pick up a book and read. If you love music, then listen to your favorite one. If you love to go out, then reach out to one of your people. Because it is better that way. You feel really better when you are around people who are for you, who want you to make it in life.

When worry comes, remember: negativity makes things worse, not better. Positivity makes things better, not worse.

As always, you are more, not less!

Why You Are Alive

‘You weren’t created to struggle through life, to be restricted by negative thinking, or to be constrained by a bad temper, insecurity, or lack.’- Joel Osteen

Before you give in to your insecurity, before you give in to your fears, your doubts, remember that you are not here by accident. That you are here for a reason. That God created you for a purpose.

That you are not here to play around. That you are not here to struggle through life, to watch other people doing great things. Or to settle for an average life.

That is not you. That is not what God wants for you. Whether you know it or not, you are here to grow through life, not to struggle through life. You are here to live a great life.

To make a difference in the world. To write your own story. To face your own battles. To do what makes you happpy. And to stand up for those who cannot do it for themselves. That is what you are here for. Nothing more, nothing less.

Just because you are not where you want to be, that doesn’t make you a loser. That is just one of the things that you have to go through to get to where you want to be.

When you are in doubt, remember who you are. When you are depressed, going through anxiety, facing a difficult boss, remember who you are.

When negative thoughts come in, remember who you are. Remember why you are here. Always remember your why you are alive. Because when things are tough, why you are alive will keep you going.

As always, you are more, not less!
