The Void

Do you ever feel, that small void, that one that exist just below the surface, the one that calls to you, if you look it will suck you in, the one that takes away from you present minded thoughts and transports you to another place, where your heart is heavy when you jump from one stone to another fraught with anxiety, every stone is a what if? Or a why do I? Or if I don’t? These stones can be past, present, and future tense. I find it harder to turn away from the void any time my life is out of balance, literally the smallest change to my schedule, and I find myself knocking on the door to the void.

Through my readings I have found that this is simple anxiety and the majority of us feel this way at some point in our life. Some of us can shut the door others find themselves lost deep into the void with no sign of escape. In the book Dare, Barry McDonagh teaches us to “run toward the anxiety, that we tend to worry about the worrying rather than a specific threat or scenario, when we get caught in this cycle a constant loop of worry ensues, sometimes manifesting it’s self in a panic attack.

You can train your mind, you can make your stay in the void a short one, or someday even shut the door completely. Just like with anything else it takes time, work, pain. But, there’s hope and resolve, Open your mind to the knowledge that already exist, sometimes we may feel alone with these thoughts or that no one has ever felt this way, but, that’s just ego, someone has done it before you and some one is going through it now. Fortunately some documented the triumphs and tragedies of their personal journeys, with one goal, to share with you the fruits of their labors and to save you some time and pain of searching the void yourself.
