It used to take me out. Anxious feelings would swarm my body and I would disintegrate under its intimidation. I felt destroyed as I succumbed to its seductive coaxing saying, “Come and dive in alll the way into the deep end and let me swallow you up. And maybe you’ll never return.” Can you relate?

I was scared. And even though I now understand anxiety and have made such strides to stop it before it starts, I still am sometimes scared- until I remember my tools.

Here’s what I do at the first signs of anxiety:

1- I recognize my body cues so that I notice it fast- it’s in my stomach or my chest. It doesn’t feel good, so it’s easily recognizable when it happens.

2- As soon as I recognize what’s happening, at the very first sign of the swarming stomach or the clenching heart, I massage my heart and I begin breaking the spell by breathing. Just 1 breath can wake me up out of its lure. I keep deep breathing.

3- Once I wake up from its pull into the abyss, I recognize what’s happening and acknowledge that I don’t need to give myself over to the culprit thought that caused it. I DON’T need to wave the white flag and beg for mercy. Then…

4- … I actually lift out of that thought track that set me on the road to disaster to another wasted hour or day.

5- I find a better feeling thought, and FOCUS ON IT! Then that thought usually leads to another good thought. THIS is the work!

6- Lastly, I RUN to my mentors and wash my brain with either a You Tube or a recording of one of my trusted mentors- Dr. Joe Dispenza, Matt Kahn or Michael Neill to name a few.

Even if it is still a bit of a shaky day, I know that I am in the process of building the muscles for remembering who I am. I am a daughter of The Most High God. I am not a sniffling weakling, like I feel at first, at the mercy of this emotion. And I start standing taller.

My mom used to say to me every day when I’d come home crying from school, “Tomorrow will be a better day.” And it always was. And it still always is.

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 for 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 agony of anxiety, and feel freer and more open to 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 know that we have engaged in a thought that is headed for trouble- GET OUT NOW is it’s indication.

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

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

Are your nerves feeling shattered right about now?
