End Anxiety and Panic Attack Once & For All:

Why are you worried? Because you fear for the worst! When a negative thought pops into your head replace it with a neutral thought instead. 96% of worries never happen. Be open to the idea that there will most likely be a positive outcome to any given worry. Teach your mind to observe the good things that are happening now in your life, instead of dwelling on bad things that have happened in your past or could possibly happen in the future. Live for the moment, not the past or future.

Neutral thinking can be of considerable benefit to anxiety sufferers. The aim of neutral thinking is to provide your mind with realistic alternatives to negative thoughts. So, for example, instead of saying to yourself “I’m an idiot” you would turn this into something neutral, like: “I am a very bright person, but we all make mistakes”; the point is to replace every negative thought with a neutral thought. The neutral thought must be something which your mind can accept; in other words it must be realistic; so, for example, if you are having a truly awful day you wouldn’t say to yourself “I’m having a great day” because your mind simply won’t believe it; but if you are having a truly awful day and you say something like “I’m okay, everything is fine” this is neutral enough for your mind to accept.

It takes time to retrain your mind and the negative thoughts will come back from time to time but be persistent. The more persistent you are the less recurring negative thoughts you will have. Each week will get easier if you monitor your thoughts and replace any negative thought with a neutral one. Repetition is the key to training any new habit and re-conditioning your mind. Whenever a negative thought pops into your head replace it with a neutral thought. More often than not you will start to feel much better within a week or two; you will also feel much more able to carry on with life than you were when you were overcome with fears. One of the most exciting things about training any new habit is that with practise it gets easier.

When you find that you are worrying less I hope you will realise that worry does not assist you to make better decisions. That is because worry is an emotion. Emotion is not rational it does not help you to see things more clearly or logically. Decisions should not be based on emotion. Rather, decisions should be based on logical, rational, decision-making. It can be very hard to think logically when you are very emotional about something. The situation is made worse by the fact that when we are afraid of something we tend to find evidence to confirm our fear.

You will likely encounter both ups and downs along the road to recovery. To handle the “downs” observe them, take note of them, and be aware that they will soon come to pass. Stick with it, and take one step at a time. Remember inch by inch is a synch. Down-times are natural, as are changes in mood. Give things a fair chance, and the time to take effect, before you simply give up.
