Consciousness Correction

In life, there are times when anxiety can set in. Maybe from a person or a place, then fear can follow. Seems like anxiety and fear are best friends, and we do not need them. In the world of anxiety or fear, we can meet frustration. In life, anxiety with fear like to play with frustration. From time to time we need, to sit our consciousness down for a correction. A deep cleaning on our consciousness, ridding it from all negative emotions. This cleaning can set us free to be free, finding peace within our life.

I can identify with your poem, Paula. Before and immediately after I had surgery about a year ago, fear and anxiety took hold...they're the two sides of the same coin. I had to learn to detach from my fears and my anxiety diminished. I had to be more conscious and less 'reactive.' Never had been fearful before in my life...was an uncomfortable fit. :-) Enjoy your day, Sara

Paula Goldsmith

Thanks for reading/writing. Glad you like my write. Surgery is not fun. Glad you are now OK. Fear/anxiety can take a hold at anytime. We need to watch out from them and their friend frustration. Have a blessed/wonderful day.................

So true dear Paula, anxiety gets in the way often and so does fear, its never easy getting rid of these two, they surely seem like bestfriends, but the best way to live a meaningful and really a fulfilling life we have to learn methods of tackling them.
