I'm going to teach you a very simple.
.
.
Technique.
To help combat anxious thoughts.
And I'm going to teach you that in a meditation.
This will just last around 10 minutes.
So coming to seated posture.
And allow the eyes to gently close.
And just settle for a moment.
Settling to stillness You can't get this wrong,
So.
.
.
Don't worry there's no special way to meditate we're just sitting in quiet for a moment you can connect with your body.
How's the body feeling?
You might feel.
Tense or restless you might feel relaxed.
Doesn't really make a difference.
Just noticing.
How we feel.
Is what's important here.
See if you can connect with.
.
.
A feeling of rising with the in-breath.
The body slowly inflating and falling with the outbreath.
Rising,
Falling.
And anxious thoughts.
Often present themselves.
Is a question.
And it's like this,
What if?
So what are your what-ifs?
What if I fall out?
What if I don't get the job?
What if I run out of money?
What if he,
She leaves me?
These questions,
They come at us over and over again.
What if?
What if?
And we're pulled into a spiral of doom.
Where with every thought the world gets.
Darker.
But we can reverse that spiral.
By simply.
.
.
Changing what if?
To evenness.
So what if I don't get the job?
Becomes Even if I don't get the job.
What if he she leaves me?
Even if.
.
.
He?
She?
Leaves me.
I'll get over it.
I'll meet the right person.
I don't want to be with someone.
Who doesn't want me.
What if I fall sick?
Even if I fall sick.
I'm surrounded by people who love me.
The medical industry is progressing at a rapid rate.
L eventually.
Grow comfortable with illness.
And I might get some deeper insights into life.
I might finally.
.
.
Come to peace with life.
So try it yourself,
Even if.
.
.
Is used to flip.
The What If Question And what if?
Always leaves us helpless.
We're at the mercy of the world.
We're bystanders.
With no agency over our problems.
But what if?
Flipped too,
Even if.
.
.
Switches us from that victim mode.
Into proactivity.
We stop.
Looking at the problem.
We come out of that frozen state.
And we become.
Proactive.
We start looking.
But solutions.
And find in them.
Can you see that how?
The mind flips away from the problem.
And instead begins to.
.
.
Look for solutions.
Even if that solution is.
.
.
Just come into peace with the way things are.
So remember this.
And every time you.
.
.
Find the What if?
Question.
Pops up in your daily life.
Counter it.
With even if.
And the more you do that.
.
.
The clearer.
The way.
Into solution.
Will be revealed.
Your anxiety will downgrade.
And you become freer and lighter.
And solution focused.
Instead of focusing on the problem.
So when you're ready.
Stretch Moo.
And open your eyes.
I hope you find that useful.
Let me know.
How that went for you.
