Greatly Reducing Your
Anxiety –
So
You Will Be Able To Release Your Anger, Resentment,
& Any Grudges You May Feel Toward Others
Here you will use
the Backward8
procedure for clearing out any anxiety you feel!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS
FIRST:
Make a
list of everything that causes you to feel anxious.
Don't be
afraid to add something to the list if it feels anxious to you.
Please try to be as specific as possible. And just remember....
THERE ARE
NO WRONG ANSWERS!!!
Start each
statement in your list with the letter
–
I
|
I've
given you several good examples so you will know exactly
what you need to do. You are welcome to use these stressful
examples in your list, and add more of your own. These
examples are offered to help REMIND you of many different
types of common stressful issues.
You
SHOULD STILL work through all of these examples
even if they do not directly apply to your own situation.
Also, wherever you see a blank spot in a phrase, such as
__________, please fill in the blank your own appropriate
response – if possible (and if it
is applicable). |
|
What
keeps causing my anxiety, and making me feel anxious?
I
sometimes have these sudden panic attacks,
I often feel so stressed out over ________,
I feel so anxious about being _______,
I don't know if I can ________ yet,
I am not very sure of myself at _______ being in
public
yet,
I feel so mad at _______ for treating me that way,
I keep feeling like everyone is only staring at ME,
I feel so anxious about going to _______,
I feel anxious about traveling to _______,
I feel all of this excitement about ________ whenever I
leave the house,
I feel too excited about ________,
I get so nervous and panicky when I am in high pressure
situations, like ______,
I keep doubting my ability to ________,
I don't feel very confident in myself and my abilities to
_______,
I don't know if I am good enough to _______,
I still feel some of this remaining stress from _______,
Please add more of your
own anxiety issues to this list. |
Note:
|
After
clearing the anxiety from a negative issue, replace it with
an empowering choice statement (a Backward8 Power-Phrase).
Making
a clear decision is powerful, which is why this step
introduces a positive affirmation right after clearing the
negative issue.
This process will help you form a habit
of automatically linking a positive thought to any negative
situation, so that when something negative happens, a
positive thought will instantly replace it. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS SECOND:
Create Your Backward8
Power-Phrases...
Write "Even
though" in front
of each of your statements,
and
add 87654321 after your statements.
Then, add the following
words to the end of your statement:
"I
CHOOSE to feel completely calm and confident in everything I do!"
For
example:
If your statement was...
"I feel so
anxious about going to ________."
Your new statement would then become:
"Even though
I feel so anxious
about going to ________,
87654321,
I CHOOSE to feel
completely calm and confident in everything I do!"
Do that for every
issue statement in your list from above.
You are welcome to
modify the positive choice
Power-Phrases so they are
more applicable
to your own specific needs.
Just make sure every statement is positive, personal, and in the
present tense
(as though it is already happening now).
.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DO THIS
THIRD:
Perform
Your Backward8
Procedure
Remember, this works the same way as anything else, the more
counting
repetitions you do,
the better your results
will be! So...KEEP
COUNTING!
Procedure
Select
a statement from your list above, and
mentally visualize
(imagine) yourself
feeling the stressful intensity that
you WOULD feel if you were actually experiencing
that
right now, then repeat each of your complete statements as
you have written
them out (including counting backward from 8)!
Keep repeating this process for each issue until you no longer feel any
intensity from the issue!
You will gain positive results for some issues much faster
than you will for other issues.
So, be patient, and your results will come for you.
Backward8
is a process, NOT an event!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE...
It is very common for
other thoughts or emotions to pop into your mind while you are counting.
While you're doing the exercises,
you will likely discover all kinds of new, unrealized
thoughts
and emotions that may have been
buried deep within your subconscious mind for
years...
possibly even since your early childhood.
If, at anytime, while you're working through any of the
exercises in this Backward8
course,
you notice any other negative thoughts or stressful emotions
popping up, even if they do not directly
apply to the
particular exercise you're working on at the moment, then
you should write
them down,
and take some extra time to clear all of those negative
issues, as soon as possible! It's THOSE
negative thoughts
and emotions that will get in your way as you go forward in
your life!
