There is a chemical, a hormone, called Noradrenalin that your brain produces when you are about to go into a downward spiral. It’s actually your body’s way of saying, “Hey- you need to back up NOW and get out of this dark alley!”

Noradrenalin is only supposed to last 1-5 minutes, but we tend to think that we need to find another worry to feel responsible for, look for more problems so that we can feel prepared and look for another disaster so that we’ll be informed.

Nope.

We are supposed to take this early warning signal to find a better feeling thought- something to lift us out of the downward spiral before we hit panic.

Find anything good. Leaves on a tree, your grandchild’s or child’s smile or hug, the clouds in the sky, the nice car you have and are thankful for, these are all examples of something that you can shift your thoughts toward.

Dr. Bill Pettit says that when anxiety shows up, it is an invitation to “…leave your thinking alone.” This means to not make decisions from here or give it much credence. You are in an altered state of mind, obviously, if you feel anxious.

Remember this- if we have the courage to leave our thinking alone instead of jumping in and trying to solve problems from this place, we will be able to access a better feeling thought, and then another and then another. This is the upward spiral and what we are all looking for.

Hope this helps. And if you’d like more on this, I invite you to join me on Friday, October 9 for the Anxiety Hacks workshop where we take a 3-hour deep dive into your particular brand of anxiety and find custom made relief. You’ll leave the workshop with the video and have instant access to being free of the pain and suffering of anxiety, and feel freer and more open and more at ease in your life. You do not need to attend live if the time does not work for you.

Hope to see you there.

Love, L

P. S. Stop Anxiety before it takes hold and ruins your moment, your day and your life…

Anxiety is just an early warning sign like a sniffle indicates a cold if we don’t take care right away. When we get a sniffle, we don’t berate it, we see it as a clue that we should rest, drink water and tea and maybe some Vitamin C. Same with anxiety. At the first signs we notice, it indicates that we have engaged in a thought that is headed for trouble- GET OUT NOW is it’s indication.

In this workshop, you will come to understand the beauty of your internal guidance system and be thankful for your new sensitivity to this feeling we call anxious. I’ve been anxious my entire life, and recently have learned so many tools that helps me now see that as soon as I feel anxiousness, I stop. I release that anxious thought and I breathe it out.

Anxiety has become my friend, for it shows me that I’m headed in the wrong direction. It gives me a heads up that I can choose a better feeling thought and travel down that new road to more bliss and harmony.
