Buddhist Bits: Reframe Nerves As Excitement

A brief talk about an experience I had in meditation on a day I was nervous. The power of nervousness or anxiety can feel formidable but it felt less over-powering once I let go a bit & allowed a sense of spaciousness within, becoming vividly aware of the connection between nervousness and excitement.

That's a very interesting insight! Thank you! 🙏❤️🌹

Seeing nervousness as excitement seems obvious but, as Olivia mentioned, there's always anxiety combined with the nervousness for me. My very active imagination pictures all sorts of dire things happening. I hope to find another teaching from Olivia that addresses the anxiety component more.

Loved the visualization of energy moving outwards with excitement instead of inwards with fear. Definitely bookmarking this. Thank you Olivia 🤍
