Coping with anxiety is possible for most people and you may even succeed in eliminating it with a new energy technique

Coping with anxiety means being able to tolerate it which is a big

ask because it is not always at the same level so you have to

employ different methods all the time - it is not constant. Here

are some general strategies for coping which will be followed by a

detailed explanation of a new energy technique that could enable

you to cure your condition on your own at no cost. This is not a

guarantee and I urge you to first read this brief disclaimer.

General coping strategies for anxiety

• What is the worst?

  One way of coping with anxiety is to ask yourself "What is the

  worst thing that could happen?" because this takes away the

  unknown. It tells you exactly what may happen and although it

  can be painful knowledge it is better than having a big

  "unknown" floating around in your mind causing you anxiety

  symptoms.

  This process may involve trying to think of all the problems

  that are confronting you and applying this strategy to each of

  them one at a time. It should clear your head quite a bit.

• Taking action

  "Stop procrastinating and get the job done" is a silly statement

  that can be found on many sites that offer strategies for coping

  with anxiety, but it ignores the fact that the anxiety STOPS you

  from getting jobs done. The free energy technique you will learn

  below can clear the mind to enable you to take action. Then the

  above statement will have meaning and will work for you.

• Exercise and/or deep breathing are both good ways to cope

  with anxiety

  Exercise works best when you are reasonably fit, because if you

  are not fit the exercise will be short and intense and not able

  to help your anxiety as much as 30 mins of strong breathing

  type of exercise.

  There are two things to do for your regular exercise which are:

  trying to clear your mind more to become motivated,

  and gradually doing more exercise each day.

  Start with a 5 min. walk each day for 1 week, extend it to 10

  mins three times the next week as well as 5 mins each other day

  and continue to build it up a bit more each week trying to

  exercise every day.

  Deep breathing is another way that can help quickly to relax the

  mind and body. You must breathe with your diaphragm muscle below

  your ribs. At first it seems impossible, but just try it a few

  times and you will quickly get the hang of it. As you breathe

  in, force your diaphragm muscle to extend out. That means as

  your chest increases in size you also push out your stomach

  region where the diaphragm muscle is situated.

  This muscle pulls down and out when you breathe in to create a

  vacuum in your lungs which fill with air. When you breathe out

  it pushes upwards and forces the air out, that is when it feels

  like your stomach is pulling in.

  To breathe in push the stomach out, to breathe out push it in.

  If you sit in a chair and focus on that for a minute or two you

  will immediately feel calmer. Do not let your thoughts go

  elsewhere, keep them on the breathing which will help you cope

  with anxiety. The longer you do it, the better you will feel and

  it is a great way to get a good sleep if you do it in bed.

• Reducing your aim for perfection

  No one is perfect. Tell yourself this and try to reduce

  your anxiety on guilt for not being good enough and for self

  doubt. There are many things that other people do that are not

  quite right. You are human, you make mistakes and you try to

  learn from those. When you make repetitive mistakes you start to

  think there is something wrong with you and you feel very

  guilty. You also feel that you should be perfect to redeem

  yourself for past mistakes. Trying to be perfect definitely

  induces more anxiety especially when you make another mistake

  after trying so hard to be perfect. Making mistakes is usually

  not as bad as how you feel about it afterward.

  When you learn to accept some things without guilt your

  anxiety will decrease.

There are many more ways to cope with anxiety. It is difficult

to know them all and to write about them all, but a new energy

technique is proving to be one of the most effective.

New energy technique "Patting" may help you cope with anxiety quickly

technique that I call "Patting" which involves focussing your

mind on a specific problem and patting with your fingers on

eight points on your body that correspond to energy meridians as

used in acupuncture. The important thing is to focus your mind

on a specific feeling that you had at a specific time during a

specific event, or to focus your mind on a present anxiety

feeling. To do this you will have to try to break up your

anxiety into separate parts and do the patting for each feeling

for each part. It is not as hard or as time consuming as it

sounds. To find out more about how patting began go to a brief

history of energy techniques.

The patting technique

- there are five on your face and two on your upper body plus

one on your hand. You will be shown how to make up a setup

phrase which you say three times as you pat on the hand point,

then you keep that thought in your mind and pat about seven

times on each of the other points. It is done quickly and can

take less than a minute. The result is normally a strong

reduction in your anxiety immediately, but you must know which

anxiety or it will seem to be ineffective. For instance if you

felt highly anxious about a job interview which might break down

to multiple feelings of self doubt, embarrassment,

disappointment, ridicule and even anger. You need to identify

one of those and do the patting for just that one. If it

suddenly disappears after patting but you still feel anxious it

is because you still have the other anxieties, not that it did

not work. Then you pat for one of the other anxieties, then

another until they are all gone.

The instructions are on another page and they run across three

or four pages, each of which will show you another part of the

technique and those pages were written with a romance theme.

Just substitute your anxiety or feelings where they are specific

to romance, because the instructions for anxiety are exactly the

same. You can start learning now at Romance Tips Three.
