Financial Worries are Worries—Not Facts. The Tigers Lie A Lot.
Stressful thoughts and feelings about money are not always the final truth, but they will present themselves to you as if they were. Yes you may have money problems, even severe ones—but that doesn’t mean that all hope is lost.
Again, try not to let the saber-toothed tigers in your mind get you too charged up because they’ll throw your energy off balance and trigger your fight or flight response. Then toxic stress hormones will leak into your blood and tissues.
If you follow these worried and frightened thoughts and believe in them, then your financial stress can toss you into waking nightmares. You can get so charged up in mind and body that you don’t realize that what you’re worrying about—isn’t actually happening. That’s why you’ve got to learn how to “stay awake”.
Otherwise you’ll be starring in endless waking dream battles, battles that your body will mistake as true and real life or death struggles. This will leave your mindbody in chronic fight or flight—you’ll be at risk for health problems and the misery of chronic anxiety and depression.
