PANIC:


If a swimmer was crossing a great lake,
then suddenly focused too heavily on
the distance remaining, he might start
to flounder and go under – not because
he couldn't swim, but because he
became overwhelmed by panic.

Panic, not the task, is the enemy.

Many of us have moments when we
feel crowded and overwhelmed.

We may be facing a task at work, an
improvement in ourselves, or change
in our family life.

For a moment, it is helpful to look
forward and envision the project. It is
normal, when we look ahead at what
needs to be done, to have moments of
panic. Feel the fear, then let it go. If
we have envisioned the goal, it will
be ours. We do not have to do
everything today, or at once.

Focus on today. All we need to do to
reach our goal is to focus on what
presents itself naturally, and in an
orderly way, to us today. We shall be
empowered to accomplish,
peacefully, what we need to get
where we want to be tomorrow.

Panic will stop this process. Trust
and guided action will further it.

We can get back on track by
treading water until we regain our
composure. Once we feel peaceful,
we can begin swimming again,
with confidence. Keep the focus
simple, on one stroke, one
movement at a time.
