turn anxiety into excitement!

When experiencing doubt, fear, anxiety, discouragement, or any other negatively-based emotion, make it a point to immediately zap any inkling of the aforementioned in the bud (is that what they say? haha). For example, last night I started worrying about my job situation, which I immediately remembered to function as a negative catalyst to adding more negativity to the situation, thereby increasing my lack of job. So, rather than further wallowing, I turned my anxiety into excitement. I started visualizing myself receiving the news of obtaining my new perfect job - because I deserve it - and I started getting butterflies - the ones of eager anticipation, and it feels like this news is really coming! I then visualized my ideal day - waking up early, doing yoga, meditation, the elliptical, reciting affirmations and gratitudes, showering, making a delicious raw breakfast smoothie, preparing my raw lunch and snacks, riding my bike to work (the office is right down the street!), working independently the whole day through, enjoying the people that I work with, coming home, either going to band rehearsal or going through my piano and guitar lessons or songwriting, working on my Reiki practice, blog-writing, making a delicious dinner, catching up with one of my amazing friends, constantly engaged with this lifetime, totally immersed in each present moment. The feelings of utter excitement stirred within my all night, after consciously making this change, which deterred immediate sleep, but carried with me into the morning. Going to bed happy and excited = waking up happy and excited. Duly noted.
