After having visited my site I can almost imagine what your repetitive
anxious thought might be.
Maybe it’s a fear of:
- -a panic attack
- -never being free of general anxiety
- -a bodily sensation that worries you
- -a fear of losing control to anxiety
My name is Barry McDonagh and I have successfully taught thousands of
people in over 30 different countries, how to end general anxiety and panic
attacks.
Whatever your particular fear is, I want to share some tips and
techniques with you over the coming days that will not only help you end these
fears but also reduce your general anxiety level dramatically.
After many years of coaching people to be anxiety free, I have noticed
that those who experience panic attacks or general anxiety almost always deal
with the frequent occurrence of anxious thoughts.
Anxiety has a sneaky way of seeding doubt regardless of whether the fear
is rational or irrational.
So what can be done for people who suffer from repetitive anxious
thoughts?
To begin, lets look at how an anxious thought is powered and then I will
demonstrate how to quickly eliminate the intensity of the thought.
Say for example you are going about your daily business when an anxious
thought enters your mind.
Whatever the nature of the thought, the pattern that follows is usually
quite predictable.
The anxious thought flashes briefly in your awareness and as it does so
you immediately react with fear as you contemplate the thought. The fearful
reaction you have to the thought then sends a shock-wave through your nervous
system. You feel the result of that fear most intensely in your stomach (due to
the amount of nerve endings located there).
Because of the intense bodily reaction to the thought you then get
sucked into examining the anxious thought over and over.
The continuous fearful reaction you have to the thought, increases the
intensity of the experience. The more you react, the stronger the thought
rebounds again in your awareness creating more anxious shock-waves throughout
your body. This is the typical cycle of anxious thoughts.
For some it feels like the anxious thoughts are hijacking their peace of
mind.
Because of the reaction you are having, you may continue to spend the
rest of your day thinking about the anxious thoughts you experienced.
“Why am I thinking these thoughts?” “Why can’t I shake off this eerie
feeling?”
The harder you try not to think about it, the more upset you become. It
is like telling someone
‘Whatever happens do not think of a pink elephant’.
Naturally enough it’s all they can think about. That’s the way our
brains our wired.
So how can you eliminate these unwanted anxious thoughts?
To begin with:
- -when you start to experience anxious thoughts, it is very
important not to force the thoughts away.
Let the thoughts in. The more comfortable you can become with them, the
better. These thoughts will never go away fully but what you can learn is to
change your reaction to them.
By changing your reaction to the anxious thoughts you become free of
them.
Once you establish a new way of reacting to the thoughts it does not
matter if you have them or not. Your reaction is what defines the whole
experience (and that applies to almost everything).
Everybody experiences fleeting thoughts that many would consider scary
or crazy. The difference between most people and somebody who gets caught up in
them, is that the average person sees them for exactly what they are, fleeting
anxious thoughts, and casually ignores them.
The anxious person is at a disadvantage as they already have a certain
level of anxiety in their system. The thoughts easily spark feelings of further
anxiety which builds into a cycle of fear. You break the cycle by changing how
you react to the fearful thought.
Here is an example of how to approach
this:
You are enjoying the way your day is going but then all of sudden a
fearful thought comes to mind.
Before you would react with anxiety to the idea and then try to force
that thought out of your mind.
This time, however, say:
“That’s a fear of X. I could worry and even obsess over that but this
time I’m going to do something different. I’m not going to react to it. I’m
also not going to try and stop it either. I’m just going to label the thought
and not react.”
Then the thought comes again with more intensity and possibly with new ‘scary’
angles you never considered. When this happens you do exactly the same. As if
you were observing a cloud passing overhead, you simply
- -Observe it,
- -Label it (fear of whatever), then
- -Watch it as it passes by with no judgment.
then
- -Move your attention on to what you were doing.
Observe, Label, Watch, Move on
See the anxious thought for what it really is: -one of the thousands of
fleeting sane and insane thoughts every one of us experiences daily.
If you are a more indoors type of person then instead of thinking of the
thoughts like clouds passing in the sky, you might try imagining a large cinema
screen and the anxious thoughts are projected out onto the screen in front of
you. Play around with this approach. Find what works for you.
The key thing to remember is to:
Observe, Label, Watch, Move on
By practicing this approach you gradually stop reacting with fear to the
thought and you learn to treat it as nothing more than an odd peculiarity.
When you are at a stage where you are
comfortable doing the above exercise and you feel you are making good progress,
then try this additional step:
Actually invite one of your more regular fearful thoughts in.
Call the fear to you, say you just want it to come close so you can
observe it.
It may seem like the last thing you would wish to bring upon yourself,
as you don’t particularly enjoy these thoughts but this approach can be very
empowering. You are now calling the shots. You actually invited the issue in.
By doing this you are discharging the dense vibration of fear
surrounding the anxious thought. That fear was sustaining itself on your
resistance, -the idea that you could not handle these thoughts.
The fear quickly evaporates when you turn around and say “yes of course
I can handle these thoughts.”
Fear intensifies when we pull away from it. Anxious thoughts become a
mental tug of war if we struggle with them.
It is the mental struggle of pulling against the anxious thoughts that
creates the inner psychological tension.
The inner tension is fueled by thoughts
like:
- “I can’t handle to think about this -please go away”
- “I don’t like that thought- I want it to stop!”
Take a different stance. Invite anxious thoughts in. Willingly sit with
them, label them and do your very best not to react.
Yes, it does take practice but very soon you find yourself in a unique
position of control. You are no longer a victim of fearful thinking but a
decision maker in what you will or will not be concerned about.
As with every technique there is always a level of practice involved in
the beginning. Initially you start observing but then suddenly get anxious
about the fearful thought. That’s very normal in the beginning.
Keep at it. Practice and you will quickly see how less impacting those
fearful thoughts become.
Do not let your mind trick you into believing that your anxiety is
something you will always have to struggle with. That is simply not true.
Not alone is it possible to control the occurrence of anxious thoughts
but I can teach you how to end panic attacks and general anxiety if that is
your goal.
You can have the life of your dreams. Anxiety does not have the right to
steal that hope from you.
I’m going to e-mail you my mini series. It will help reduce anxiety
levels significantly.
Some of this information forms a small part of the Panic Away Program.
My full program eliminates panic attacks and general anxiety very quickly and
has proved highly successful with both long and short term sufferers of
anxiety. The results speak for themselves.
Here are some of the things you will
learn from Panic Away…
- -Learn how to be empowered and gain confidence by engaging a simple
technique to defuse any panic attack.
- -The four most powerful approaches to creating an enduring anxiety
buffer zone (particularly useful for those who experience GAD).<
- -Learn to avoid making the one mistake almost everyone makes during
a panic attack episode.
Here is a small sample of how the
course has helped others:
…learned more from reading your program
than I did from all the psychologists and other practitioners I had seen in the
25 years
I must tell you that out of all the
items you can purchase regarding anxiety related products on the internet, I learned
more from reading your program than I did from all the psychologists and other
practitioners I had seen in the 25 years that I’ve had this condition.
I had been on Xanax and Klonopin for
about 10 years, but this December, I decided to withdraw from it thinking I
didn’t need the pills anymore according to some of the programs I ordered
claiming “miracle cures”. That’s when all my symptoms started again. I felt as
if I had wasted the past 20 years trying to get better.That’s when I started
searching the web for home based “cures”. I ordered so many programs I started
to get confused from too much conflicting advice. Also, I was promised support
but I am still waiting replies from some of the more expensive programs!
You are a true gentleman, and I am going
to post a very positive feedback on a website you might be familiar about
called: Tapir?
Talk to ya, Andy

…I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM
BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE LAST 5 YEARS
I RAN ACROSS YOUR PROGRAM SUNDAY, FEB.
5th. I DEBATED ORDERING YOUR PROGRAM BECAUSE I HAVE SPENT APPROX. $8,000 IN THE
LAST 5 YEARS OF MY LIFE TRYING EVERYTHING FROM PANIC SUPPORT CLASSES,
MEDICATION, COUNSELING AND THE LIST GOES ON, ALL TO RID MYSELF OF PANIC
ATTACKS. SOMETHING INSIDE ME SAID, JUST KEEP TRYING, SO I DID. AFTER 5 YEARS OF
OF LIVING MY LIFE WITH THE WORLD ON MY SHOULDERS I AM EXCITED TO SAY THAT I AM
NOW PANIC FREE. AFTER ONE TIME OF APPLYING YOUR ONE MOVE TECHNIQUE, I AM A NEW
PERSON.
ONE OF MY MANY FEARS THAT I DEVELOPED
WAS DRIVING. AFTER READING YOUR PROGRAM AT 12.30 AT NIGHT I WROTE DOWN SOME
QUICK NOTES FROM YOUR “ONE MOVE TECH.” I RAN OUT OF MY HOUSE AND DROVE TOWARD
THE DARKEST SCARIEST ROAD WHERE NOBODY WAS NEAR BY.
THIS WOULD DEFINITLY BRING ON AN FULL PANIC
ATTACK, WHICH IT DID. WHILE LETTING MYSELF FEEL THE EMOTIONS RUN THROUGH ME, I
DID EXACTLY WHAT YOU TOLD ME TO DO, I WAS SCARED AS HELL BUT STOOD MY GROUND. I
INSTANTLY CALMED AND EVEN TRIED TO BRING THE ATTACK BACK ON, BUT COULD NOT. I
LITTERALLY LAUGHED OUT LOUD AND SAT IN MY TRUCK AMAZED. AFTER ALL THIS TIME
THAT WAS ALL I HAD TO DO. THE COMPLETE OPPOSIT OF EVERYTHING THAT I WAS TOLD.
THIS WHOLE WEEK I HAVE DRIVEN WHERE EVER I WANTED,AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY. I AM
SO GLAD I FOUND YOUR PROGRAM.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR
RESEARCH, TIME, AND DEDICATION SO THAT PEOPLE LIKE US CAN NOW LIVE A NORMAL AND
HAPPY LIFE. JACKSON CA, AARON
==================================
…I prayed to God to show me what to do
I experienced my first panic attack in
July of this year and ended up going to the hospital by ambulance thinking I
was having a stroke or heart attack! I have had a bunch of attacks since then.
Monday morning I awoke to an immediate attack and prayed to God to show me what
to do. To make a long story short, I was led to your website but was afraid it
was like the other ones where they try to sell you their products. However,
your introductory information really spoke to me and I decided to take a
chance. I read your book and it gave me the tools I was searching for to deal
with my attacks.
I could tell immediately that you have
suffered from panic attacks yourself because you spoke with authority that can
only have come from having dealt with the terrors yourself. I am 42 years of
age and have been noticing the psychological effects of perimenopause (one of
which is panic attacks in my case). Thanks again!!
Sincerely, Cynthia
