How To Step-by-Step through Anxiety

🔥🔥🔥 Step 1/4⁣: “I am aware of what Anxiety feels like in my body”.
⁣
Noticing we may have anxiety and labeling it as such is an important first step. ⁣
⁣
And, we have to be careful to not assume every up-activation we feel is anxiety: Might be excitement or anticipation. ⁣
⁣
If all we think about is anxiety, we will entrench it, identify more strongly with it, thereby creating more anxiety...⁣
⁣
It’s not about “positivity” or “negativity”. ⁣
The more we dwell on a thing the more we own it and the more it manifests. ⁣
⁣
We must eventually stop identifying with anxiety and move on:⁣
⁣

🔥➡️🌚 Step 2/4⁣: “What does “Lack-of-Anxiety” feel like”?
⁣
👉 What does “Lack of Anxiety” feel like?⁣
⁣
Notice. Ask for it, feel it, imagine it. ⁣
⁣
This is a state/space, not a concept. There’s no “the” before “Lack”. ⁣
⁣
It’s not about lying to yourself by saying “I am calm” when you are clearly not. It’s about being curious...⁣
⁣
👉 What does “Lack of Anxiety” feel like?⁣
⁣
Now imagine feeling that consistently for two minutes, five times a day. ⁣
⁣
Imagination is the gateway to your subconscious - use the brain science: Don’t think about it, IMAGINE it. ⁣
⁣
Then: ⁣
⁣
What fills the “lack-void”? What do we want instead? And what does THAT feel like?⁣
⁣

🔥🌚🌚 Step 3/4⁣: “How does calm feel?”
⁣
Calm. ⁣
⁣
Step 2, while a good medial process step (and focussing on the lack of what we don’t want... better) - is coming from a place of pauper. ⁣
⁣
Now, come from a place of plenty, fullness, positivity. ⁣
⁣
👉 “What does Calm feel like?”⁣
⁣
It’s the hardest and most valuable thing in the world to learn how to stop fighting what we don’t want, and start LETTING what we DO want. ⁣
⁣
👉 “What does Calm feel like?” Eventually leads to:⁣
⁣
👉 “I notice I am Calm.” Leads to:⁣
⁣
👉 “I am calm”. ⁣
⁣
🌚🌚🌚 Step 4/4: “I am calm”.

Two minutes, 10x a day. ⁣ ⁣
Now, given this process, the final phrase has the potential to feel like... < Truth >.⁣
⁣
🙏🙏🙏⁣
