Worry could be called a killer in general terms because of its detrimental effects on our health and well-being, but did you know it can also kill abundance before it ever reaches you?

How?

Abundance is nothing more than a flow of beneficial energy through your life. This flow of energy can take the form of monetary wealth (which is what we usually imagine in terms of abundance), but it also includes things like love, happiness, peace, fulfillment, and joy. When you are tense and worried, you automatically CONSTRICT this energy from flowing freely through your life!

Imagine a flexible tube through which water flows. If you grasp the tube and squeeze it, you decrease the flow or cut it off entirely. When you relax your grip (ease the constriction) the water flows freely again.

Worry does the same thing to the flow of abundance into your life.

When you are worried, you're not thinking clearly. Your thoughts are clouded and scattered, and the predominant thought in your mind is FEAR.

Even worse, since your thoughts usually determine your emotions, fearful thoughts will trigger fearful emotions, which will taint the energetic vibrations you put out to the universe!

If you know anything about the Law of Attraction, you know this is a very bad thing because your vibrations act like a signal to the universe to attract what you are focusing on in that moment.

Worry can create major problems in your life if you let it! So, how do you turn this around?

Avoid feeling worried whenever possible. Not just worried but tense, frustrated, depressed, hopeless, cynical and afraid too. If this type of mind-set has become a habit for you, make it your mission to turn it around immediately.

Start by spending more time doing things you love. Things that make you laugh and feel positive will create a very high frequency of vibration.

Each day, spend a few minutes purposely feeling lighthearted, grateful and joyful. Think of people you love, or even your pets, and allow your heart to fill with feelings of love and appreciation for them.

Start a daily meditation practice and learn how to control your mood and mind-set. You might create a mantra that will trigger a peaceful state of being when you need it most. A mantra is a simple word or phrase that you recite repeatedly during meditation, like Om, Peace, All is well, and so on. Over time you'll notice that just saying your mantra will trigger a feeling of peace and well-being.

This doesnt mean you will be able to blot out worry altogether, of course. Everyone has moments where they feel tense or frustrated, or worried about things they cant control. Its a natural part of life.

However, make an effort to release those worries when you notice you're starting to experience them. Start paying closer attention to your body signals throughout the day and if you find yourself feeling tense or anxious about something, consider whether its something that is within your control, or not in your control.

If you can control it, then take steps to remedy the issue as quickly as possible. If you cannot control the issue, then do your best to set it aside. The less you allow worry to rule your life, the more attractive you will be to abundance and all things wonderful!
