Am I Going Blind? The Anxiety Spiral

The law of attraction is a double-edged sword, be careful how you focus

When you get what you think about, you can get into an upward spiral or a downward spiral. The more you focus on something, the larger it gets. You can create solutions where, perhaps, they didn’t really physically exist until you became positively focused, which is awesome. Or, you can create problems where they didn’t physically exist, which sucks.

I’m in a downward spiral right now, and I realize that many other people can get into that same situation. And many people are, currently in that situation, just like me. This tendency is not unique. When you realize this you can become more empathetic.

I understand how this works, and even with all of that knowledge, trying to break the cycle of negative thinking is extremely difficult.

Why am I writing? I should be focused on healing myself, so just why am I writing? I think this is part of the process. I hope to be free of this anxiety but I understand in order to do that I have to act as if it is healing and act as I would act if I was living the life that I want, right now.

I do believe that this is part of the healing process, all of it, the anxiety, the physical symptoms, and subsequent techniques I’m using (which I will get into), and then writing about the journey. It’s all a part of the process for me.

Writing helps to clarify things for me. And, teaching, always helps the teacher to understand the subject matter better. If you ever want to learn something, get it into your mind that you want to teach it to someone else. It helps you to focus on your studies better- more purposefully.

If I want to help people through life coaching, I need to understand what it’s like to be caught in a downward spiral. I understand that this is likely a manifestation of a teaching moment for myself. It is more than that, but that’s just one reason I might be going through this.

I’m going to write about what I’ve been going through, why I worried I was going to go blind, and what I’m doing about it below. Consider subscribing to read on.
