Women tend to be plagued with worry. We seem to worry constantly, about those we love, about how we are doing in life or whether or not people around us are happy. I believe this is because women can so easily sense everyone's pain and automatically want to help. And when we don't know how to help, or how to fix the problem, then we worry about it.
However, consider that worry is a form of feeling powerless. Whenever worry creeps into your thoughts, ask yourself, "Am I actually feeling powerless in this situation?" If the answer is "yes," then be sure to give yourself a healthy dose of Love. Love is the key. Love yourself, love the other person and love the problem.
There is great wisdom in knowing our limitations. When we try to go beyond our limitations and try to help someone when we truly don't know how, we will cause more problems for everyone. It's important to be able to say, "I don't have those skills so I need to admit that I cannot help you. This way, I won't be a part of the problem."
Sometimes the best thing to do is to step back and allow other people to go through their pain and struggles. It's is more empowering to allow someone to grow rather than to jump in and try to "fix" something that you are not qualified to fix. Just take a step back, relax and send Love instead. Love and gentle support can shift the energy of a situation. It can calm everyone down and help people to think more clearly. It can also bring on spontaneous solutions. So, no fixing problems for people! Just Love them instead. The worry will melt away with the knowing that you have the Power of Love.
