Mastering the Art of Positive Living: Breaking Free from the Irish Worrier Mentality
In the rich tapestry of Irish culture, one undeniable thread is the reputation for being worriers. A trait passed down through generations, and considering the hardships of the times, it’s no surprise.
Dr Joseph Murphy
Dr. Murphy, a renowned expert on the subject, and an Irish man himself, asserts that 90% of our problems are our own creation. Philosophers, scientists, and researchers have explored the impact of negative emotions on the body for centuries, their findings well-documented in numerous books.
Dr. Joseph Murphy delves into the roots of worry, defining it as a suffocating force. He emphasizes that prolonged worry steals vitality, enthusiasm, and energy, turning individuals into physical and mental wrecks. Psychosomatic doctors link chronic worry to a myriad of diseases including asthma, diabetes to stomach ulcers and cancer.
I have always believed in the power of prayer and found Dr. Joseph Murphy, who employs a straightforward language and a method of inward Prayer therapy to address both physical and mental turmoil.
The power of worry
Worry, as defined in the dictionary, is to feel anxious or troubled about actual or potential problems, causing annoyance, disturbance, and distress. Dr. Murphy, a candid Irish speaker, attributes worry to ‘sloppy thinking.’ He asserts that fear is faith in the wrong thing, making it impossible to coexist with genuine faith.
Much like soil accepting any seed, our minds accept both positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Murphy emphasizes that what we accept as true and believe in becomes a reality brought into our lives by the subconscious mind. When worry takes hold, we focus on negative perspectives and outcomes, creating patterns linked to our emotions.
The power of positivity
Positive thoughts yield positive outcomes, including feelings of love, peace, joy, and harmony. Conversely, negative thoughts stem from polluted minds, incorporating beliefs, emotional wounds, and negative experiences. This negativity manifests in emotions such as hatred, anger, resentment, and depression.
Murphy’s law suggests that a healthy mind is impossible without a healthy body.
In addition, it is important to recognize that negative thoughts can lead to dis-ease in the mind. Consequently, these mental disturbances may eventually manifest as physical dis-ease.
The adage holds true: what we think about, we bring about.
The cure? Enter prayer therapy. Dr. Murphy offers a worry prescription, a powerful prayer acknowledging the goodness of God and redirecting the mind towards positivity.
Murphy’s law: ‘It is impossible to have a healthy mind in a healthy body.
A Worry prescription by Dr Murphy
Knowing that God is All-Good and that God’s desire for me is to express and experience Good in my life, I choose now to turn away from fear, anxiety, and worry. Negative thoughts and attitudes only get in the way of my Good, and I am ready to participate in the Abundance of Life right here and right now. And so it is that I now fix my mind on what is lovely and good and admirable. I trust God with my needs with a thankful and expectant heart, knowing that somehow, in some way, for my good and the good of others, my needs will be met and my good desires will be fulfilled.
By faith I declare this to be my truth and I allow it to be. Amen.
Breaking free from the Irish Worrier mentality involves a shift in mindset. By embracing positive thoughts and prayer therapy, one can cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling life. It’s time to put an end to worry and welcome the abundance of life with open arms. Amen.
