Fear and anxiety do not arise from the presence of problems. They arise from the absence of a plan. The moment you have a clear, realistic plan of action for addressing a concern, something remarkable happens: the anxiety begins to lift. Not because the problem is solved yet, but because you have moved from passively suffering to actively pursuing. Understanding this — and learning how to create what we call a Vision Script — changes your relationship with both worry and your own future.
The Relationship Between Anxiety and Planning
If you are living in fear or worry, it is because you do not have a plan or outline of a solution. So if you are in anxiety about a situation, create a plan to address it. You will know you have found the right plan because the anxiety has lessened or gone away as you devise a plan of action.
If there is any problem we have in life, we must first quiet the disturbance. When we are in a balanced place, then we map out a plan of action on how to resolve it. You can do this for a relationship, work, or any area of persistent concern. You need a plan to get out of whatever is creating the worry, anxiety or constant concern for your life. Sometimes it takes a great deal of energy as you walk toward it — but you must be looking for a plan and desiring to know what it is.
How to Build Your Plan
Ask your Creator to show you the plan, and parts will start to come together. As the signs come, ask your Creator for a specific idea of how to materialize that plan and what action you can take toward resolution. As it comes to you, write it down. As you take action on that plan, the fears, worry and anxiety will subside and passion will take the place of those other emotions.
It should be a plan that feels purposeful and is achievable by you where you are right now. Not a plan you feel subjected to, or are merely in compliance with — because if you do not actually want to do it, it is not the right plan. The correct plan will make you feel invigorated to see it come to fruition. Each step you take where you see the vision being fulfilled will create passion. If the passion is not there with each step in progression, then it is not the correct plan and you need to re-evaluate.
Your dreams can come true, but you must be able to articulate them. You must be able to see them.
From Idea World to Three-Dimensional Reality
If you can truly see a dream, you should be able to write down how you are going to go about achieving it. Write down the entire dream you have, no matter what it is, and then ask yourself: “Is it realistic? Is it accomplishable?” Then give it a timeline. A four-year plan is still a plan — and it starts the minute you decide to begin. If it is the right plan for you, you will feel a sense of excitement when you map it out and create a timeline for it.
Do not overload yourself or take on more than you can do. A plan that is too aggressive creates fatigue, and you will not finish because you mapped it out the wrong way and tried to achieve things too rapidly. A true plan does not have to be rushed. There is no desperation in a true plan.
So: the plan is realistic, it is achievable by you, there is a timeline created, and now you want to create the baby steps to enact it. Your Creator will give you the indicators of what you need to create and follow. As those indicators come to you, write them down. They will branch off into other venues to manifest the plan. Each step will feel good — and thus you know it is the right step.
The Power of Writing It Down
This is what creative imagination is all about. You cannot build a house until you can envision what it is. You cannot have a life or dream until you can see what it is. As you begin to write the plan, you have taken something from the idea world and given it form. Giving it form brings it to reality. The minute you put it on a piece of paper, you have taken it from the idea world into the three-dimensional world — from the fourth dimension to the third dimension, by your own hand, in concert with your Creator. Once it is on paper, if it makes sense and is achievable, it creates passion to achieve it.
I call this the Vision Script. The basic fundamentals are: What is your dream? Is it realistic? Create a timeline. Break it down into manageable steps. Look for signs of intuition and inspiration from your Creator as you move forward. Dream. Have fun. And trust that the plan that is right for you will become clear as you begin to move toward it.
- Anxiety does not come from problems — it comes from the absence of a plan; the moment a plan forms, anxiety begins to lift
- The right plan feels purposeful and invigorating at each step; if passion is absent, you have the wrong plan — keep seeking
- Ask your Creator to show you the plan; the parts come together as you open to guidance and write down what arrives
- Do not rush a true plan — desperation-driven timelines create fatigue and failure; allow the timeline to be achievable
- Writing the plan down is transformative: it moves your dream from the idea world into physical reality
- The Vision Script formula: name the dream, confirm it is realistic, set a timeline, break into baby steps, look for Creator’s guidance at each one
