Frick It!
Recently, I've spent much time studying the science of happiness.
What makes us happy. Why we strive for happiness. What, indeed, is happiness.
One theory proposed by scientists is that we each have a default "happiness level" - which we ultimately revert back to, despite the multitude of peaks and troughs we experience around it.
I'm not so sure about that.
But I do think we each have a relatively "default" level of stress and anxiety.
You know what I mean. Some of us deal with the most stressful situations each and every day - and hardly break a sweat. Others lose a pen and it's Panic Central.
I personally cope with quite a substantial amount of stress on a daily basis, with not too much fuss. But I am still a worrier - obsessed with details and the unknown.
I call this default setting our "Worry Space."
(Learn more about this concept by clicking here.)
But here's my own personal theory...
With vigilant practice, we can reduce the size of our Worry Space - so we're no longer a slave to fear and anxiety.
How?
By simply forcing it out of our minds when worry sets itself upon us.
By telling ourselves: "Is this really that important?"
I mean - is it going to kill you if you don't worry about it?
Get into perspective, then stop worrying and move onto something else. If you find your mind returning back to it, force yourself onto something else.
Say "FRICK IT!!"
(Yes, "Frick it!" is the Western equivalent of the Eastern concept of letting go of attachments - a wonderful comparison made in a book of a similar title.)
STOP WORRYING.
Tell your worries to go take a hike, and do not give in or entertain them. Simply... ignore them.
There's a great quote in Peep Show, where Jeremy says: "People talk about running away from your problems as if it's a bad thing. But if they never catch up with you - what's the issue?"
Worries are usually self-created and rarely realized.
So "run away" from them - ignore them, frick them - and they'll never catch up.
And, ultimately, your own Worry Space shrinks away - until it's near invisible.
Try it for a week. See for yourself. Say frick it to worries, and see what happens. You might just surprise yourself.

Blimey, I had no idea that you subscribed! :) I'm blushing now!
Every day I use photos of myself that appear scattered around the Net. That must have been a shock - hope you don't mind! :)
Everybody - this is NZ's Collette and myself! x

You are so right! :)
The thoughts we think and the emotions we feel right now play a big part in our future. We literally attract more of what we are feeling, so if we are feeling worried that just produces more worry. This reminds me of something I just found out about this past month.
Have you heard about or read 'Power vs Force' by David Hawkins? I just heard about this recently. You may have heard about it already but in case you haven’t I'll copy some info about it:
David Hawkins calibrates people's emotions from levels 20 up to 1000. 20 being Shame which is perilously proximate to death. It's destructive to emotional and psychological health, and makes us prone to physical illness.
At the other end of the scale at 700- 1000 is enlightenment. This is the level of the Great Ones such as Krishna, Buddha and Jesus. It is the peak of the evolutionary consciousness in the human realm.
All levels (which could be classed as vibration levels) below 200 are said to be energy draining, and below integrity. These vary from Guilt (30), Grief (75), Fear (100) up to Pride (175).
People feel positive as they reach Pride level. However Pride feels good only in contrast to the lower levels. Pride is defensive and vulnerable because it's dependent upon external conditions, without which is can suddenly revert to a lower level.
At the 200 level, power first appears. Courage (200) is the zone of exploration, accomplishment, fortitude, and determination. People at this level put back into the world as much energy as they take; at the lower levels, populations as well as individuals drain energy from society without reciprocating.
Further levels include willingness (310), Acceptance (350) and Love (500).
This level is characterized by the development of a Love that is unconditional, unchanging, and permanent. It doesn't fluctuate – its source isn't dependent on external factors. Loving is a state of being. This is the level of true happiness.
Interesting facts from the book -
* The concept and theories behind these experiments were conducted over a 20 year period using a variety of Kinesiology tests and examinations.
* Kinesiology has an almost certain 100% accuracy reading every time. It will always reveal Yes, No, True, and False answers.
* Collective Consciousness: These experiments reveal that there is a higher power that connects everything and everyone.
* Everything calibrates at certain levels from weak to high including books, food, water, clothes, people, animals, buildings, cars, movies, sports, music etc.
* 85% of the human race calibrates below the critical level of 200.
* The overall average level of human consciousness stands at 207.
* Human consciousness was dangling at below the 200 level (190) for many centuries before it suddenly rose up to its present level some time in the mid 1980s. Hence Nostradamus's end of the world predictions may have been avoided (he made his predictions at a time when human consciousness was at below the 200 level). For the world to stay at levels below 200 over a prolonged period of time would cause a great imbalance that would undoubtedly lead to the destruction of all humanity.
* The power of the few individuals at the top counterbalances the weakness of the masses.
* 1 individual at level 300 counterbalances 90,000 individuals below level 200
* 1 individual at level 500 counterbalances 750,000 individuals below level 200
* 1 individual at level 700 counterbalances 70 million individuals below level 200
In other words, as a co creator of the world, if you vibrate at 200 and above you will be helping to raise the consciousness of mankind, and be a big part in creating a better world for everyone.
ps Do you have a myspace page? I couldn’t seem to find you on there if you do. If you don’t, I bet myspace or some pages similar to it would be a great place to network or at least offers people another opportunity to find out about you. I’ve just changed my myspace page to a Christmas scene~ Charlie Brown lol :) As dorky as it sounds, it can be fun ;) (www.myspace.com/lizblackstone)
pps I posted a blog recommending people check out your blog (in addition to sharing the Self Growth Give Away site)
