Dare to Slow Down Your Life

Every person knows what it feels like to be carried off by an anxious state, so

you decide: when some anxiety comes along and takes over your life, are you an

awake, inwardly centered person or are you an unconscious, outwardly driven man

or woman? Which are you? That you're outwardly directed is pretty obvious. Why?

Because that anxious state could not exist without your false belief that who

you are -- your well-being -- is connected to something happening exterior to

yourself. And now this mistaken idea is driving you, compelling you to get this

thing fixed or that situation resolved right now, because once you have, you'll

be back in a peaceful place. And as long as you take yourself as someone who has

something to lose because of your identification with any temporary exterior

condition or circumstance, you will remain someone subject to every outer

condition.

By deliberately slowing yourself down when everything in you seems to be

screaming, " Rush, " you will become -- what? Inwardly awake. You'll become

conscious of yourself in a new way. And, for the first time you'll understand

these anxiety attacks have nothing to do with what didn't get done, or with what

" might happen, " but that their painful place dwells within a belief-packed self

you're living from that's convinced if you don't answer the situation it says

has caused your anxiety, that you'll end up losing something valuable. This new

kind of prayer-in-action changes your perception of yourself by turning your

attention around to where the real problem, and the Real Solution, exists:

within you. This simple but powerful prayer will help you make the transforming

transition to find your life inside of you -- instead of forever looking for a

way to fix it by struggling outside of you.
