But I want to share that we do not need to fight the negative energy. Instead, we can treat it as a friend.
Every often (if not all the time), our worry is self imposed. It is like the rocking chair verse.
Worry is like a rocking chair, it gives us something to do, but gets us nowhere.
When you fight worry, you end up worrying more. In the end, uncertainty would still win, because you are not "fighting" it the right way. When you treat uncertainty as a friend, as something that is to be expected, to be faced, to be treated well, the battle is already won, because you cut down the negative thoughts that you might have towards them, and you are actively doing something, doing it mindfully.
The real fight however, is to exit from your comfort zone. The zone that everyone/everything else has predefined for you.
I am not sure how to put it down in words, but due to society, culture, language, etc, the resulting expectations that we have, be it for life, family, fulfilment, are false and meaningless. Our expectations are associated with the wrong needs.
We think we need more money, more status, higher prestige. These are all taught by the society. But is that truly our needs? All of the above would not give you happiness that is long-lasting, because you will never reach the pinnacle.
When you get a pay rise, you would think it is still not enough, and would drive yourself to achieve the next level. So when will you get the happiness that you have attributed to that final paycheck?
When you can view the real reality of your comfort zone, you may than decide to fight it, to step out of it, and to look for your own real world...And may the real fight begin
