Resolving Anxiety Can Be A Hard Thing.
THE PROBLEM
It's slippery. Unlike other difficult emotions, the cause of anxiety isn't always clear. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out what causes anxiety.
It can be frightening. It's possible that the thought of even looking for the cause of anxiety can be scary! I know it might sound silly, but, we may be afraid that when we examine it closely, what we find may be even more terrifying than living with the anxiety.
It's low grade. Anxiety can burn like a low grade fever. It's always just under the surface, even when we are working, sleeping and going about our life. Low-grade anxiety can persist for years.
It can be damaging. Anxiety not only reduces your energy, it can decrease your resourcefulness and even damage your health. Anxiety puts undue stress on your organs. It accelerates aging.
It dims your brilliance. Anxiety makes you unable to function at the top of your game. And when you feel constant anxiety, you can't love fully, feel and express your creativity. You can't think as intelligently as you have the capacity to. Your patience is tested. You aren't your usual, joyful self.
THE SOLUTION
Skillful techniques can be used to cure anxiety. The following is my two-step method to cure anxiety.
Step One - Confront Your Anxiety
In this step, grab a pencil and paper, sit down, get quiet and tune in.
First, notice your anxious thoughts. Notice the beliefs behind the thoughts. These beliefs are a part of your anxiety cause.
Then pay attention to the emotions. Give them labels.
Third, try to notice any physical sensations of anxiety you may be having.
Write down anything you noticed.
Step Two - Do Emotional Freedom Tapping
This anxiety cure involves simply tapping on EFT tapping points and saying a statement aloud. You can disrupt energy blocks that have allowed the pattern of anxiety to continue to operate in your body and mind by using EFT tapping while feeling anxious.
Use one of the statements you came up with during the exercise above at each energy point. To learn more about the tapping points and to get specific instruction on how to do EFT tapping, visit EFTTappingTechniques.com.
