Anxiety: Gone in a Heartbeat

What a good day it is, when one can complete it with a feeling of goodness, satisfaction, and leisure.

When everything goes according to plan.

When you're on it. Sun up to sun-down.

Minus all the drama and freak-outs about weather or not we will get everything done, before we start.

Hardly Your Experience?

I hear you. 

"I'll probably just screw it up like I always do"

"He will probably be just like the rest of them, it's probably not even worth going on this date."

"What if I fail?"

Needless Anxiety.

Neurologically, there's something that's causing you to have these thoughts and feelings.

A few butterflies in the tummy are a good thing. It means you're living at your edge, and you're about to expand.

But when butterflies turns to bricks, we're letting our internal world run wild, and possibly work against us.

Time for a wee bit of inner-alchemy.

It's so simple, its almost disappointing.

Here's Your Homework, crew member: What are you chomping at the bit for? What's making you anxious? What gives you that tight, brick-filled-stomach feeling?

It hasn't happened yet.

By Simply holding it in your awareness that it will go the way you want, you:

a) Let go of the feeling of it already going wrong before you start, and

b) Will show up differently to the task - thus rendering a different result.

Keep Practising. It's a skill.

And here's the tip-off:

You're already doing this. You're really good at it, in fact: you're just doing it to the opposite effect.

I hope this imparts some new perspective into your day, your week, and your year ahead.

Here is the review of the video content.

Today we're talking about anxiety. I have had a number of conversations recently with high performing women who suffer from anxiety, and they are not alone. Everyone does on some scale, however, we think it's this problem outside of us that needs to be medicated, all the time, and it doesn't.

Anxiety is simply imagining something to go wrong and feeling the feelings of having it go wrong, right now before anything's actually happened.

Let me explain. So every moment of every day we are subconsciously continually running scripts and movies in our minds of what's gonna happen in the future. When I work with people on goal setting, or when I work with athletes on their performance, I teach them how to associate into an image of long after the activity has been completed successfully and feeling those feelings before they walk into whatever meeting or training session that is that they need to do.

Hot tip: do that yourself all the time with everything.

The reason is because your brain and body goes towards what it knows, I'll say it again,

Your brain and your body goes towards what it knows.

Unfortunately, most y'all are imagining, everything that you want to do in the future to go wrong and it's causing feelings of it going wrong. Now, before anything even happened. So here's how to resolve it.

Next time you feeling anxious about something I want you to stop and ask yourself, what is it that I'm feeling anxious about, and then close your eyes and imagine yourself out in the future after this activity, whatever it might be, it could be a date that you're going on that you're worried is going to go horribly, it could be a meeting that you have to undertake that you're stressed will go successfully or not, it could be life. I want you to picture yourself at the end of the activity all life, completed successfully and feel the feelings of when perfect. That was great. And then come back to now and get on with the day.

That's as simple as it gets. This is how you deal with anxiety, it's simply imagining what you want to happen going exactly the way that you want it to go, and feeling those feelings right now, as opposed to imagining it going wrong and feeling those feelings which is exactly what anxiety is, hope you enjoyed this video if you like it, share it with your friends.

Stay Curious, Stay open. The life you crave is so much closer than you think.

Love, Always:
