A reason that we may feel anxiety, worry, and doubt once we experience peace is that thinking all the time uses a colossal amount of time and energy. Most of us are used to spending the majority of our day in a state of stress (thinking). When we stop thinking, the energy we used to spend thinking is now “freed up,” but it hasn’t been directed anywhere yet, so we tend to return to our old patterns of funneling that energy back into thinking, because that is how we were conditioned and what feels familiar. What we can do instead is channel the newfound energy into our goals of inspiration.
