When we first become aware of a problem, a situation, or a feeling, we may react with anxiety or fear. There is no need to fear awareness. No need.
Awareness is the first step toward positive change and growth. It's the first step toward solving the problem, or getting the need met, the first step toward the future. It's how we focus on the next lesson.
Awareness is how life, the Universe, and our Higher Power get our attention and prepare us for change. The process of becoming changed begins with awareness. Awareness, acceptance, and change - that's the cycle. We can accept the temporary discomfort from awareness because that's how we're moved to a better place. We can accept the temporary discomfort because we can trust God, and ourselves.
Today, I will be grateful for any awareness I encounter. I will display gratitude, peace, and dignity when life gets my attention. I will remember that it's okay to accept the temporary discomfort from awareness because I can trust that it's my Higher Power moving me forward.
From The Language of Letting Go

You know, as I have learned slowly over time to not PANIC when a problem arises, I have had a lot less panic attacks. Go figure. And my problems don't seem so big any more, once I choose to see them for what they are. Lessons..
I have begun to realize that whatever I fear- the WORST happening, never ever happens. The fear is always worse than what the reality later presents.
Good stuff.
