105. Are you heading towards the "Danger Zone?"

www.heididawson.com @theheididawson on Instagram I was having a conversation with my husband about feeling anxious about the state of the world. The state of politics. He asked me how it affected me personally. Like directly. How did the Capitol uprising affect me personally and directly. After thinking about it, I had to admit it was only in my mind. If I had never known about it, I wouldn’t have felt so anxious. I have talked about your thoughts control everything and I fell into the trap of saying but it’s happening and shouldn’t we do something? There were times where I was reading something and I literally felt my pulse speed up it bothered me that much. But there’s something new every other day. You see. It doesn’t matter what happens in Washington. It doesn’t matter what the media decides is the next crisis. It doesn’t matter unless you let it.  The thing is. Can you change it?  Are you going to do something to change it?  If not, Then worrying about it isn’t going to help. Learning that has been the most refreshing thing. They want you outraged because then you’re going to check your phone every 3 min to see who owned someone else. You can be using that time to do something good for yourself. To spend quality time with your favorite people. Spend time on what makes you feel good.  Your happiness really depends on you finding a way to feel good in spite of the external things. Notice I don’t say stick your head in the sand. I think we can all acknowledge we’ve had a challenging year but its being positive in spite of that, finding happiness in spite of that. Making continuous progress in spite of that. Well…..How in the world do you do that? Listen now!:)
