Last week I had so much anxiety over something and it kept replaying in my head and I started making up all these possible scenarios of how this struggle,

This challenge that I was going through was going to unfold.

And I created this scenario and I created that scenario and I projected what this person would say and what I would say and then what the outcome of that conversation would be and then I envisioned that that conversation was then shared with someone else and then that was another fear or concern.

And as I built this interesting house of cards which was all a fabrication,

All a dream,

And as I projected my interpretation on top of another interpretation I realized at a certain point that I had gotten myself so wound up about something that had not yet even occurred.

But by leaping into the future I was totally in all the pain that I projected into the future.

And then I asked myself as I stood at the beach watching the waves just pound in and I watched the birds flying and I watched Peaches the Buddha princess just frolicking along and I felt the warmth of the Sun on my face.

And in that moment I trusted everything.

In that moment I trusted the grace of the universe to deliver me and to deliver the entire scenario to exactly where it needs to be.

And then of course I get another opportunity to embrace it,

To awaken to it,

And trust again.

And in that moment of pure trust as it beamed into me I felt all my anxiety slip away and I felt all my confusion slip away and all my fear just slip into the distance.

And so why not try that today?

Why not try to trust?

Trust in the universe and trust in yourself.

Watching the sunrise is extremely therapeutic I’ve had a similar realization when the sun starts to come up over the ocean and there is a beam of light that follows you as you walk down the beach

Very grounding and calming. Would have loved a wee meditation to follow to stay in that space of trust and groundedness….and was helpful. Thank you.🙏🏻

Without a doubt the most important lesson I’ve learned is that trusting oneself is the key to understanding acceptance, gratitude, compassion and feeling deeply what self love is all about.. Most important : realizing that I’m part of something bigger than my ego. A deep rooted sense of connection to my Spirit. Thank you for sharing your experience with us all🔥🙏

This is a common problem we all have. Thank you for the simple but efficient dissection to enable me to objectively view overthinking. It all makes sense. This moment is very helpful and I am passing it on.

Davidji, lately, my life has been overly stressful. Like you discuss in this lesson, I was also building anxiety about multitudes of scenarios, conversations, predicting how each result (usually chaotic and terrible) would occur. So yesterday, just before the gloaming, I went out and sat on my deck and looked at the beautiful mountain scenery I am very grateful and lucky to have. Weather was perfect. View was clear with big billowy clouds. And within a few minutes, the most spectacular sunset began. Over the next 20-30 minutes the ever-changing glorious colors blossomed and grew and reached out across the sky. The tinted clouds waltzed slowly eastward, morphing from one shape into another. And as I watched and absorbed the magnificent powerful beauty, I also gathered all the dark chaos and scenarios my mind had conjured and let them all go, trusting in the "path" the universe has for me. So I want to thank you so much for your guided sessions and lessons.
