ACIM Q&A Day: What self-talk helped you with anxiety?

Question:  I suffer from anxiety and depression. My question may sound dumb for someone practicing “A Course in Miracles” for 11 years but … for example … I get stuck mentally … I do very well at picking up on the fact that fear and/or...
“The light in you is too bright to fail”

“The light in you is too bright to fail”

These were the words my stepdad said to me as I lay flat out on the couch, incapacitated by anxiety, unable to eat for days, with dark anxiety-induced circles under my teary eyes. “The light in you is too bright to fail.” These words gave me hope and a...

Remember your willingness!

Remember your willingness!

Willingness is the key to happiness! Willingness is the foundation on which A Course in Miracles is built. It is the only building material we are asked to supply. The heart flowers on my website are reminders for willingness.  We so often forget that the Course...
