The Mis-takes Spiritual People Make That Perpetuate Anxiety

We’ve all done it. With the best of intentions, we set out on our spiritual path, ready to have our awakening and determined to find the calm, centered, peaceful place within that is beyond our anxiety.

Often, we do find that place—for a while. It’s the natural cycle of things for this state of being to come and go. When that calm, courageous place within begins to slip away, we might make some spiritual mis-takes .

They can be errors in our approach, perspective, or how we’re applying our beliefs. These spiritual mis-takes —for they’re just slipups, missing the target we’re trying to achieve—aren’t a big deal. We all get a little off track sometimes.

The problem is that we tend to make them a big deal. They can become deal-breakers, sending us down the spiral of not only more anxiety, but self-recrimination and anxiety about our anxiety.

Let’s take a look at some of the most common mis-takes on the spiritual path that can get under our skin and actually perpetuate that anxiety—which is not what we want to have happen! Then we’ll chart a correction on our course and dive into the keys that will release us from the anxiety cycle.
