ANXIETY IS NOT NORMAL
A recent advertisement for a popular ‘stress-reducing device’ stated in large bold-printed letters that “ANXIETY IS NORMAL.” But this is not the truth by any means. Anxiety is not natural or normal - though it is completely common at this point.
Anxiety is representative of an abnormal relationship to life - a lack of trust in that which we call God. Anxiety is a result of our misunderstanding, and is healed as we come closer to the Truth.
We have made so many false assumptions. Such misunderstanding leads to fear. Truth dissolves misunderstanding in an instant, and empowers us to meet our lives anew.

Amazingly, anxiety may be our road back Home, if we allow ourselves to see it as the signal of misunderstanding that it is. Anxiety is not normal, but it can become an ally if allowed.
The Truth is always confident + clear. When I’m feeling anxious, I’m encouraged to remember that this feeling means I haven’t seen the truth.
Let us not resign ourselves to thinking that such states are standard fare. Let us rather honor what the signal says + seek the Truth.
No ‘device’ could ever do this for you. Only you can do this for yourself.

When you feel anxiety, press pause.
Recognize the thought that caused the fear.
The Truth will be the opposite of that.
