It’s Time to Stop Playing the What-If Game

Anxiety is like a form of self-torture that we sometimes have tremendous difficulty stopped. However, it is entirely fabricated within our minds as an irrational fear mechanism that stops of from being able to move forward in life. One way anxiety commonly creeps up and freezes us into a state of inaction or flight is the What-If Scenario.

The Classic What-If Scenario

You know what this is. It may seem harmless at first. It’s more of a question than an irrational fear that stops you in your tracks. The information that a what-if emerges out of is usually pretty benign or neutral. However, a tiny hint of worry can progressively expand and branch out and become out of control. One worry turns into several worries, and then your mind is tormented by a torrent of them.

What you focus on is more likely to occur because of your ability of conscious creation using your mind power. You will attract whatever it is that you focus on strongly, even if it’s something you’re afraid of. This is due to a universal principle of resonance and attraction. What-if scenarios can eventually lead to their most extreme outcome: obsessive-compulsive behaviors. This is a mental virus that controls the mind like a malevolent sorcerer. Superstitious rituals repeated multiple times are done to somehow magically get rid of the dreadful outcome that someone believes will happen if they don’t do them. While this extreme is not that common, it’s a place that anyone can end up if they allow themselves to give into fear-based what-if scenarios.

Tomorrow is never a given for any of us. In fact, the very next moment isn’t either. That shouldn’t mean that we lock ourselves away in a padded room hyperventilating into a paper bag. Instead, it can lead to a completely liberating experience of life. It means there are infinite possibilities within every moment. Nothing our minds conjure up as being a definite future are a definite future.
