Being at the right place, at the right time against anxiety

It is quite interesting how life presents us with all sorts of things, good and bad, and it is entirely on us how we react to what is presented to us. Our responses to what is presented to us are dependent on what lies within us. Sometimes what happens to us requires us to seek help outside of our norm and when that time comes, will you know where to run to and who to call? Will you be at the right place, at the right time against life events that could cause you anxiety?

Shocked or pleased?

Our lives are filled with episodes that sometimes leave us with our jaws on the floor and at other times leave us panting for more of what we have just experienced. Whatever episode takes place, a reaction is expected from us. Our reactions are again, dependent on what we lie within us. It is amazing how our outside environment has such a great influence on the people that we are today. Do you agree? Would you say that a great part of who we are was and is being influenced by our environment?

Opportunity and live.

We have all heard these words, “being at the right place, at the right time”. We use this idiom mostly when referring to opportunity and that’s alright. I just think we can use it the same idiom on everything that happens to us more especially when we find a way to deal with what life presents to us, good or bad. I believe we can always find ourselves in the right place, at the right time, at any point in our lives. Please, do not get me wrong, I am not discrediting the unfortunate events that get thrown at us. I honestly believe that we can position ourselves to be at the right place, at the right time, and we can do this by first taking care of what lies within us.

Is it you or other people?

Who do you turn to when life throws in the deep end? What do you turn to when life is not going your way? Where do you hide when anxiety tries to creep in? As our environments influence the people that we are, we are to take responsibility for what our environments look like. Being in the right place, at the right time means investing yourself. When we invest in ourselves, we build and strengthen the inner-man and that will enable us to be there for ourselves, making us to always be at the right time at the right place.

Would you currently utter these words “I am at the right place and it is the right time”? Let’s take a look at what would be the biggest influencer to what lies within. How careful and selective are you to what you permit to have access to you? Have you created a free access policy to your life that everyone can call you at whatever time of the day and night? You and I need to understand that we are limited resources and we also need to ask ourselves if the resource that we each are can accommodate everyone and everything that we have currently given access to.

Reflection.

Are you are the right place? Are you giving everyone and everything access to you? Do you consider yourself a ‘nice person’ and therefore find it difficult to say no? How are everyone and everything you have given access to adding to the resource that you are? Are you giving people who never make deposits into your reserve make unlimited withdrawals? Are you aware of the triggers of anxiety that cause anxiety?

How can you position yourself to be in the right place at the right time?
