REACTING:



Anxiety is often our first reaction to conflict,
problems, or even our own fears. In those
moments, detaching and getting peaceful may
seem disloyal or apathetic. We think: If I really
care, I'll worry; if this is really important to me,
I must stay upset. We convince ourselves that
outcomes will be positively affected by the
amount of time we spend worrying.

Our best problem-solving resource is peace.
Solutions arise easily and naturally out of a
peaceful state. Often, fear and anxiety block
solutions. Anxiety gives power to the problem,
not the solution. It does not help to harbor
turmoil.

Peace is available if we choose it. In spite of
chaos and unsolved problems around us, all is
well. Things will work out. We can surround
ourselves with resources of the Universe:
water, earth, a sunset, a walk, a prayer, a
friend. We can relax and let ourselves feel
peace.
