Deep dives
The Compulsive Cycle of Worrying and Caring
Many individuals express their care through worrying, believing that if they don't worry, they don't care. However, worry is a diluted version of caring that creates a disconnected and agitated state. It replaces genuine attention and loving intentions. Worrying burns out positive energy and adds pain and struggle to oneself and others. By recognizing the difference between worry and care, individuals can interrupt the cycle and begin to offer true care.
Breaking the Worrying Pattern
To break the cycle of worrying, individuals should gather information about their worries, understand the roots of their worry, and feel the physical sensation of worry in their body. By integrating this knowledge and sensation, individuals can change their thoughts and behaviors to offer genuine compassion and clarity instead of worry. Practicing this new way of being allows individuals to have more energy and offer true care to the things that matter to them.
Inspiration and Genuine Love
Through the process of gathering information, developing understanding, and integrating new ways of being, individuals gain the freedom to share inspiration and genuine love. While worry may still creep in at times, individuals can use their inner work to truly feel and act on all the things they care about. By stepping away from worry and expressing true care, individuals can experience a world beyond worry that is worth the effort.
