What's going on, A:R Nation?!

I hope this episode finds you well.

I admit, I've been struggling a bit lately.

I've been dealing with some things, mostly work-related, that have been challenging.

It's the kind of stuff that leads to that automatic feeling of worry, anxiety, and stress.

I've been trying to NOT experience those kinds of feelings, and then I heard a message from Joel Osteen, who I'm a big fan of.

In his message, Joel shared that faith and worry cannot exist in the same place and at the same time.

Setting aside any religious ties, this means that when we experience a challenge or an obstacle, we have to make a choice about how we will experience the thing - are we going to let our mind live in WorryWorld, or are we going to choose Faith and Excitement?

I thought about this through the context of the Positive Intelligence program I've been going through, and it really seems like a powerful way of being in life.

I'm going to try to take this on, and I challenge you to do the same. The next time you face an obstacle, whether today or some other time, if you start to feel negative emotions (which are always tied to worry, anxiety and stress), challenge yourself to exercise faith that there is an opportunity to succeed and grow in what you're facing.

Nuh tek worries. This is the Adulthood:Revisited Podcast.
