I used to view anxiousness as a controllable thing that people used as an excuse to work up some attention. Nevertheless, in my adulthood at some point I experienced it regularly and it attributed to me being diagnosed with high blood pressure. I never thought that I would be so vulnerable. I worked very at keeping myself conservative and inside a shell of some sort. All of that meant nothing. I needed to change some things about myself which included living out loud if that meant freedom from anxiety. Mostly, any and everything made me anxious. I prayed about it but it remained. As a believer I knew God saw my struggles and had to trust that there was and is always a way to freedom. It may not be easy but to experience my best life, it was necessary to take a stand against what I made normal. I didn't realize until a 21 day no meat fast that it was anxiety because for many years I lived that way. I thought it was normal until I was able to have nearly three weeks without it.
The insomnia, tiredness, achy legs, high blood pressure, stress eating were red flags that I was at high risk of many negative health causes.
The only thing that seemed to work was no meat but for me it wasn't something I wanted to leave out of my diet always. I began, meditating on being present and in the moment. If I was not currently involved with a issue, I blocked it out intentionally. I discovered numerous times in the day where I just stressed about things that I couldn't change by worrying so something had to change. I became pro active and I started praying silently for the things I needed help with and there was progress. I completely eliminated caffeine from my diet and cut back on my sugar intake. The more I practiced being present and content. I felt more and more like a growing person.
I just want to say, that a lot of us don't have a person who will understand and your physician will prescribe you drugs which my help but I choose a holistic/spiritual path.
Now, everyday, I try to refocus my thoughts to stay positive and allow myself to experience the inner peace that I get from mediation and the word of God. I will post some scriptures that can help.
