Scared of happiness

So I’m getting to the point where I’m ready to just let go and enjoy life and be happy, but I feel like the moment I do is when everything is going to go wrong like I’ll die or something will happen to me 🤦🏽‍♀️

Your starting point of focus is going very well. The fear of all going wrong following is what is holding you back. You need to tell yourself that you are fine and will live every day to its fullest. As time goes on this will be a normal routine and the anxiety of the what ifs will be gone. So let the light shine upon you as within you. 😊

Thank you! I think it’s cause the state of the world! Like it’s crazy and I’m only 22 but people my age are losing their lives and it scares me even more because I have a son

The world is in an unstable state but you shouldn’t let’s that make each day anxious. You have a son, a blessing. Be thankful for such. Because you as well are a blessing to them. Such greatness upon love itself will over due any negativity which comes before you. Keep your spirit up and stay strong within.

Some of us who have grown up with a life of chaos and disappointments as kids, expect the same in our adult lives...we may even subconsciously seek it out, and some even self sabotage happiness because it's what they have come to learn as the 'norm'. We have actually learned to become comfortable with the chaos....but we can unlearn. Some feel board and restless when things are calm and comfortable...they are waiting for the other shoe to drop.... it actually doesn't have to drop....it's fine where it is...on the shelf with the other one. You can unlearn behavior as well....but it took a life time to become who we are....it's going to take some time to learn a different way to live without chaos. It's actually quite nice to sit and enjoy the peace and quiet...and see things you may not have before.
