Anxiety Control Center

We had an amazing group of people at the Coaching call for “Freeing Yourself From the Shackles of Fear, Anxiety, & Feeling Stuck”.

The action plan for next week is to find a memory for calm, security or confidence. We’ll  be using this memory in a technique that will trigger the calm feeling whenever desired.

For my readers I decided to give you a quick overview of what we are doing, so you can follow along with with this action step.  To get coaching on this and many other calming techniques  I hope you will sign up for our next TeleWorkshop, March 11th, 2010. There is still time to get in on this group.

Creating a feeling of security, confidence, and calm

A. First step for this is to have a vision or memory of the feelings you want.

There are two ways to do this: Find a memory from the past or to create a new memory or  “visualization” of a future event.

1.Find a memory from the past.
a.  Remember a time when you had the feelings of confidence, calm or comfort.
b. To do this just close your eyes and drift back to a time in your life, even a brief memory when you felt confidence, calm or comfort.

2. Create a “new memory”.
a. To create a “new memory” we need to create a vision of what a confident, calm or comfortable day
b. The vision we create uses not just a picture, but also sound, and feelings.
c. To do that you use your imagination.

I’ll use an example from my online coaching group to demonstrate.

Example: The group member who is directing and producing a movie, could “see herself at an award ceremony”.   The famous actress she has in her film, walking to the stage to accept the award.  People congratulating her on her amazing movie, on a job well done.  She would step into that “future self” and feel the feelings as if she were there.

Group members working on relationship issues would create a different image.  One might see herself in the future, with her son hugging her in total joy, as he graduates from college.   She would step into that image and feel all the success as a parent, having brought up such a wonderful loving son.

Another person would in an airplane, off on an adventure, pleased that he now feels calm and relaxed. As he steps into himself he can feel the amazement that this is now so easy to do. Perhaps it would be a future image after having traveled successfully, many, many times.

Do step one.  Start by having some fun with this exercise.  We are using this to expand your mind to the positive side of your creativity. These images can then be used in later exercises for setting off a “touch anchor” or for another technique call  the “map across.”

To get more information on the online coaching group.  Go to action ends procrastination.

Hope to have you join us in this journey of self discovery.

One of the skills of moving past procrastination is to be able to access  feelings of power, security and courage whenever you desire.   There is a way to trigger powerful feeling automatically.  It’s like we “borrow” positive feeling we have within us and then use them in an area where they are needed. When we do this it gives us courage to do new things and also give us a way to deal with and move past procrastination.

There are a number of ways to trigger new more powerful feelings.  One technique is  called anchoring.
We use a three  step process
1. First we “anchor” the feelings we need in the feared situation
2. Next we use the power of the mind to make the positive feeling even stronger
3. We then “anchor” this new positive feeling and set up a trigger to access them.

Once the anchor is set we can use “touch off” the trigger and up come the positive feelings.  After a while it becomes an automatic response.  Can you imagine how great it will be that whenever fear or feeling stuck starts you can do something about it and change the feelings to ones that move you forward.  Having positive feelings whenever you desire is a real possibility.

And another favorite technique I like to use is from Neuro-linguistic Programming called a “map across”.  We’ll discuss this more in the upcoming workshop in February.

Question:   Why do people procrastinate?

There are a number of reasons people procrastinate, they fall into a few different categories.

You can begin to uncover the underlying reasons by looking at the things you do when you are procrastinating.   For example, some people will think about the task at hand, and feel like they need to eat or sleep.   Although eating or needing to rest doesn’t move us in the direction of getting the task done, it does provide comfort.  Even if later you might regret using that activity.

Both sleeping and eating when stressed fall under the category of comfort. .  Sleeping does provide comfort and. eating of course is another way we comfort ourselves.

So this leads to the question to begin to find other ways for gaining comfort.

Question to ask yourself: What would you need to provide comfort that would work better than eating or sleeping?

1. Do you need to reassure yourself that you’ll get the task done?
2. Do you need to remember a time in the past when you accomplished a similar task?
3.  Is there information that is needed so you can feel more comfortable tackling the task?
4.  Is your goal so big that it is overwhelming?
5.  Do you need to learn how to set goals in a way that you will move towards them?

As you answer these questions you can begin to plan on trying new ways of gaining comfort that will move you towards your goals.  This is just a short sketch but you get the idea.

Come Along With Me
On This Journey Of Self Discovery

Hello from Audrey,

Many of you have asked for a way to have more contact with me in an “easier on the pocket” way.

You can now “see” me more often. Join with me each week where I will share skills and techniques that until now were only available on a one-to-one basis.

You will have the opportunity to interact, ask questions and get coaching in a supportive online group setting.  Of course, we can still do one-on-one sessions, when needed.  This TeleWorkshop will give you the peace of mind, knowing you can get answers about issues as they come up.

For over 25 years it has been my purpose to bring information, skills and techniques that help others to free themselves from the shackles of fear, anxiety, panic, terror, procrastination, IBS and Migraines.

The unique thing about this TeleWorkshop is that it is something you can do in the privacy of your own home. All you need is a phone, and the desire to release yourself from old programs that are hampering you.
