There are fears out there, as the population ages, that there will be discrimination against older workers. The problem is they start from fear. For people who think they’ll have difficulty finding another job after a layoff, there will be.
That is true whenever you feel fear about anything. You’ll attract whatever you don’t want, IF you spend a lot of time thinking, speaking, or in this case, writing about an issue. So the people in this story are building on their fear and by telling their story, they are IMPRINTING it more into their minds and therefore their habit of thinking will be self fulfilling!
I know they don’t intend this. But they just don’t realize that by focusing on the problem, they will not create the solution that they want.
Let’s look at why people become fearful. The reason why older people seem to be more fearful than younger people is that they’ve expended a lot of energy building their lives. They had a lot of stress doing it. It wears out the Kidneys energetically because the Kidneys are most affected by fear.
Fear comes as worry too. Anything that frightens you or that makes you feel less secure, is going to drain some of that Kidney energy. If you don’t work on replenishing it and disintegrating the feelings of fear, then you’ll become energetically weak.
That’s why so many seniors don’t like change and are often timid. They just don’t have the energy to take on risks.So instead of wallowing in helplessness, do this:
1. Be aware of your feelings. Be with them intensely. Let them run their course and then let them go.
2. You can do this more easily by practicing the soothing breathing exercises I have for you in my meditation web pages.
3. List your worries and see if they’re real. If they are, DECIDE what to do about them! Let everything else go.
You must take care of yourself and care about how you feel. For every bad thing and assumption made out there, there are exceptions.Be ONE of them!
