Whose anxiety is this?

Feeling anxious? Worried about something or someone? 

Is that yours? Or someone else's?

How many people around you do you hear or see fretting about one thing or another everyday? A few, or almost everyone? And even if they're not talking about it, or showing it obviously on their face, can you feel it? Not to mention what you see and hear hourly on the news. 

So it should be no surprise that even if your life is actually pretty darn amazing, you somehow feel anxious. 

If you'd like to change that, next time you start to feel or say "What if this X terrible thing happens?" instead STOP, acknowledge how clever you are to be able to pick up all these feelings, and ask "Whose anxiety is this?"

If the feeliong lightens, then you know it wasn't yours. Now invite your smile back to the party of life.
