“We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.”
– John Dryden

1. Is It You … Or Is It “Them”?

Watch yourself closely on how YOU react to challenging and stressful situations each day. Experiment with, adjust and update your inner resources (Ahh, the old “habits”). Build up the fortress of your balanced being against anxiety and stress with new, better serving habits. This one is the hardest to do, yet it is the most effective and surprisingly, the least expensive in the line up of choices and … consequences.

2. Input Overload And The Feelings Of Overwhelm

Closely watch what is the most important for you in a situation. Only you can decide and set the rules of what the priorities in your life are. Focus on what you can control right now and move gently on from here. Consider setting aside some personal quiet time into your daily “mental flossing” routine. The habit of “quietude” is amazingly powerful.

3. Risk Of Feeling Fatigue – Reversal

Have you ever thought about this one? If you put the same amount of energy you devote to dealing with stress (negative) into the opposite direction (positive), what pleasant changes would you experience? Once you decide and change the attractor properties of your energies, you can actually vitalize them instead of running them empty most of the time.

4. The HARDER You Try …

Despite the common belief, the harder you try to do anything may bring you more of the hard and even harder. To fix this, assume a role of a persistent and flexible researcher who takes frequent power breaks to re-evaluate the progress on the issue. By practicing in this role frequently, you learn the vital steps of the softer, “luckier” go-getter.

5. The Magic of Determination

All the books in the world with tips and techniques, or all who have mastered that what you are seeking helping you, will be powerless and void unless you decide to grab all the help with – determination! Overcoming anxiety, stress and burnout will only be the beginning of the magic and delight awaiting you along your new way!

“Habit is either the best of servants or the worst of masters.”
– Nathaniel Emmons

If an individual suffers from this condition, the main goal is to learn techniques involved in overcoming anxiety. In some instances a cause for the condition may be identified through counseling and therapy sessions. In other cases, no cause may be identified. In some instances, the complications associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder are a direct result of an imbalance related to the neurotransmitters, hormones, and other chemical based substances in the body. If you suffer from this condition and are seeking anxiety relief, consider the following:

•There are many medications that may be prescribed for anxiety relief. Typically, antidepressants, anti-anxiety medications, and sedatives are prescribed for GAD sufferers. All of these have been proven to be effective when it comes to overcoming anxiety.

 

•Many anxiety sufferers seek the assistance of professionals which are trained in psychotherapy. This form of therapy works to identify stressors inside the life of the individual seeking anxiety relief, and assists in bringing about behavioral changes as a way to better cope with situations that the mind and body perceives as a “danger”. Many discover this to become a successful way of overcoming anxiety.

 

 

 

•If you suffer from anxiety and indulge in smoking, drinking, or any form of drug abuse as a way to achieve anxiety relief, it is critical to realize that this may possibly only make your tension worse. In case you suffer from a substance abuse issue, seeking support right away may well support you in overcoming anxiety.

•Relaxation approaches are becoming far more and much more well-liked when it comes to overcoming anxiety. These tactics may include straightforward stretches, music therapy, visualization, and even yoga.

•Consuming foods which might be considered to become healthy may be an effective anxiety relief strategy.

 

 

Overcoming anxiety associated with Generalized Anxiety Disorder may be challenging, but it is not impossible. By using the strategies listed here, you will find some degree of anxiety relief. If you find that you are unable to achieve success in overcoming anxiety, seeking the attention of a specialist may be appropriate.

Over the years of research, I have found one “effective” product that can help you Stop Suffering From the Stress of Anxiety Attacks and teach you how to cure it using this effective method without side effects to your health.

Fear holds us back. Fear keeps us from where we want to be. Fear prevents us living. We all need to conquer fear to really start living the life we want to live; the life we deserve. And it’s not as hard as you might think. Life coaching has the techniques to get us heading in the right direction and to help us start living.
First we need to understand what the fear is that is holding us back. Some fear is tangible in that we perceive it and understand the implications of what could happen to us. For instance, if we’re in a dangerous situation that might cause us harm (like a house fire) we’ll be in fear. Or, if someone is physically bigger than us and they want to hurt us, we’ll be fearful of them. However, the other type of fear can’t be perceived in the same way and this is the one that is holding us back.
This type of fear can’t easily be explained but too much of it can be harmful and prevent us from achieving our true desires and goals. It may be seen as friends or family getting in our way, the fear of success or leaving our ‘comfort zone’. Whatever is blocking us getting what we want needs to be moved for us to make progress toward a better life. By admitting we have a fear, understanding how it makes us suffer and then concentrating on how to overcome it, we can start to conquer it. Remove yourself from that ‘comfort zone’ and start making a change.
A little at a time
Jumping in at the deep end isn’t the best way to start making a change. Identify what your fear is and then take small steps toward overcoming it. If you are afraid of social situations and unable to talk to people, try overcoming this by using online forums to chat with strangers. You’ll find it less intimidating and you’ll begin to develop social skills you can employ when speaking with someone face-to-face. Write down what your fear is and make a plan to use small steps in overcoming it.
Motivation
Instead of thinking of your fear in a negative way, start to think about how great things will be when you overcome it. Write these down and refer to them whenever you feel like giving up. Keeping motivated is an important part of beating your fear and if you let your previous negativity to creep in, you’re less likely to keep things heading in the right direction.
Rejection is not failure
Too often, people see being rejected as an opportunity to say “I told you so” and therefore give up with achieving their goals. If you want to beat your fears you need to see rejection as part of the process and learn from it. Remember, you’re acquiring new skills as you look for ways to a better life and rejection is just feedback on how your skills are developing. Success will come from rejection so stop thinking of it as your enemy; it’s trying to help you!
Live for the moment
It’s too easy when making plans for the future to forget about living in the present. When trying to change our lives, we can dwell too much on the ‘what ifs’ and ‘buts’ and this can set us back by bringing back into play the fear that we had in the first place. Enjoy the here and now and embrace what you’re doing today. Tomorrow will soon come and before you know it you’ll have achieved what you set out to do.
The new ‘you’
As you seek to make positive changes to your life, so you’ll start to be a more positive person. Friends, family and work colleagues will begin to notice the difference and you’ll pick up on their reaction. See this as a good sign of your progress and a reinforcement that your fear is being left behind. The old negative you is ebbing away and the new positive you is blossoming. The situations and issues you were once shy and fearful of will become easier and before you know it you’ll have the confidence to meet them head on; and win!

How do you overcome fear in a self-defense situation? Basically you don’t, you learn to use the fear instead. Making it a tool that you shape not allowing fear to control you. All fine and dandy, but how do you go about learning how to use fear…?Let’s examine what fear is. Fear is an emotional response to stimuli either external or internal. Fear has certain physiological responses.Increased heart rateIncreased respirationIntroduction of epinephrines into the body which constrict capillaries, increase strength and increase speed.There are various mental responses to fearFreezing up. Not being able to move at all though your mind may be telling to run, block, fight!Anger. Anger and fear are very closely related. A reaction to fear of anger will at the very least help you to survive better than freezing up, but it could also inhibit your thought processes and get you killed.Trained reaction to fear. Your body relaxes, your mind focuses. Adrenaline increases your strength and speed making you a very dangerous individual.I’ve personally spent a long time studying fear and it’s various physiological and psychological effects on individuals. I’ve developed a very good method of dealing and working with the fear response, which directly and indirectly over the years has saved my life from avoiding car collisions to defending my life.There are two different ways of training to use fear.1. Place yourself in life threatening situations on a regular basis.This method has the disadvantage of ending your training career at an early start.2. Place yourself in life threatening situations on a regular basis mentally.This method has the advantage of extending your training career while at the same time possibly saving your life.Many martial artists spend their lives learning to block and strike. Going through situation after situation. Attacks from the front attacks from behind, from the side, multiple attackers.Some martial artists don’t even practice these scenarios. Assuming the same defensive reaction from the front will work from the side and from attacks from behind. Some martial arts instructors when asked “what if” by their students will simply say, “just don’t put yourself in that position”. If that were the answer there would be no need to take self-defense at all. Just don’t put yourself in that position.For those martial artists who do practice situational self-defense training, many of you are not allowing for the mental aspect of a physical attack.Mental preparedness for a physical attack, I believe, is even more important than the physical side of preparing for an attack. Why do you think it is that a trained martial artist would fear a seasoned street fighter (weird term). Because the street fighter has been in real fights. The few tricks he’s picked up to win a street brawl have actually been executed by him under the mental stress of a life and death situation Most martial artists, fortunately, have not had this misfortune.My Method of Emulating FearLet’s look back at the physiological effects of fear once again.Increased heart rate and respiration are two major physiological responses to fear.A tensing of voluntary muscle groups is another, more so in the untrained individual.If you emulate these three physiological responses to fear, you will be on your way to emulating it mentally as well.So first a slight tension of voluntary muscle groups. Now increase your breathing. Short shallow breaths are best to emulate this physiological response.Now to The Mental AspectYou need a padded up live partner. For this drill I would often take an air shield and tie it to the front on an advanced student.You need to have enough mental control to remember to strike only the air shield of your partner.Now your partner must do some acting as well. He/She must look both in the face and body language as though they intend to hit you and hurt you. Even emulating the foul language you might hear from an attacker in an attempt to intimidate you would help.Now you put it in your mind that your partner is not your partner. He’s a stranger that intends on doing you harm, mugging you, raping, beating you senseless and unless you defend yourself and hit this !@#$ just as hard as you can and don’t get hit yourself that’s just what’s going to happen.Start with a prearranged attack and counter-attack, but, put it out of your mind that you actually know what’s going to happen. Feel the fear and tension before the attack, then block or evade like you mean it, like your life depends on it and counter-attack (eventually at the same time naturally). Takes turns doing this with your partner. Be careful not to get so carried away you hurt him. Remember it’s his turn next.Now from here perform the same mental and physical preparedness and move to my one step sparring variations you can find in my printable ebook Bringing The Martial Artist Out from Within. Continue to strike just the air shield for now.Now put some pads on and remove the air shield. Do one step variations again. Same mental stress of a real situation, but strike anywhere and pull the technique so you don’t hurt your partner.The combination of striking the air shield full contact and pulling the techniques on your partner when striking anywhere help prepare you both mentally and physically to strike full contact anywhere on your attacker, under the stress of a life threatening situation.Ready to Become More Dangerous?Start again with all of your self-defense drills. Emulate your fear for at least 10 seconds to put yourself in a life-threatening mental attitude.Now consciously relax your muscles. Make your breathing slightly faster than normal to emulate a threat, but make it deeper as well as if you were trying to control rapid breathing.Now start again and add a mental aspect to begin working with your fear and stress. Begin again with your drills and this time take your fear and turn it into anger. It’s not the final solution yet, but it will give you a better chance of survival than being frozen in place solid.Turning fear into anger takes practice, but isn’t that hard to accomplish. As I said earlier the two emotions are very similar. Basically this can be accomplished with an example such as this;Instead of, “Oh my gosh, this stranger wants to hurt me!”You change it to something like, “WHAT!? THIS SCUMBAG LOWLIFE WANTS TO HURT ME! I’LL SHOW THIS !@#$!”Now add your rapid breathing to this and slight muscular tension and remember YOU’RE ANGRY!Now do your steps to relax and attempt to control your breathing while remaining angry.After you can successfully emulate anger whenever you want to now take your final step.Start again with your self-defense drills. Follow all of my above steps, but now empty your mind! Void it of emotion. Let your well trained reflexes from various scenarios take over guided by subtle consciousness and thought. You may need to practice a meditation exercise for this which you can find in my printable ebook Step by Step Learn Internal Energy Strikes with the bonus section Taking Strikes and Coming Back for More. http://newbieservices.com/MAForum/index.php/topic,20.0.htmlYou must be careful not to hurt your partner during any of these drill phases.Don’t forget other scenarios as well adding the fear factor to them as well.With shoesWithout shoesStreet clothes onSmall spacelarge spaceThose of you who have read my printable ebook Solo Martial Arts Drills, when you do your 10 minute workout, do you always make sure you have enough room and everything is out of the way? Always? Why? Is that the way it will be if a burglar enters your home.”Just a minute I have to move this chair”Do you ever grab a nearby “weapon” (a shoe, a belt, whatever) and begin using it as part of your training?Think think think.The more situations you can think of the more you will be ready for as many situations as possible both mentally and physically. To a slightly smaller degree, you can also apply your fear training to your solo drills training as well.This training method, when done properly, will take a lot out of you. I do not recommend using this method all of the time, but definitely put it in your training schedule and practice the method on a regular basis.

Are you committed to making a difference in the world but don’t know where to start? Do you sometimes feel that change is all too hard? Do you wish your life was more fulfilling? If you answered yes to any of these questions, and you haven’t figured out how to accomplish any of these areas in your life, it’s time to get a Transformational Life Coach!

 

Let’s face it, in today’s tumultuous times; everyone is under enormous pressure to meet financial, professional, and personal goals. Everywhere you turn you get different opinions on what it takes to succeed, how to set and achieve goals, and how to stay motivated. Well then, why aren’t you achieving what you set out for? Are you lazy, bored, don’t know where to start, or just downright fed up with everything you’ve tried?

 

The reason for your non-achievement is because you don’t know what you want. What is your why? What is your passion in life? Do you know what it looks like; do you know what steps to take to get you closer to your ultimate dreams? If you don’t know why you are doing something…The reasons behind your action, life becomes a burden and you become unhappy and just plain tired.

Modern life has really taken a toll on a lot of people. Some of us have made tons of money, but our souls still feel empty. More and more people are feeling emptiness inside of them because they have no reason for the actions they are taking in their lives. They are empty, their souls are bottomless pits, their lives have no meaning….Instead, and people have been filling their lives with more STUFF and thinking that they will feel better. I’m here to tell you, it doesn’t work that way.

 

Restore your life and passion by shifting your focus in these key areas:

 

1. Get crystal clear about what matters – everything is not an ‘A’ priority

2. Know yourself, how you work, and develop new habits

3. Find what you love and leave the rest to someone else

4. Put ‘you’ back on your priority list

5. Learn the power of making small changes with BIG results

6. Take action on what counts.

This isn’t brain surgery, but for most people they don’t have the forethought or the structure in their lives to complete these life transforming habits.

 

This is where a Transformational Life Coach can help you get off your butt and get you from doing the same insane things that have gotten you nowhere in your past. It’s not only about personal development and creating some dramatic changes in your life, but it’s about total transformation in the way you live, work, and communicate with others. It’s about getting the clutter out of your life, and getting things in order for you to operate at an easier and higher output. Imagine that, working easier and getting way more done…..genius!

 

So, you need to ask yourself what is the most likely outcome if you continue to do what you’ve always done. If your future looks like your present and you are not getting the results in your life you desire, time for a Transformational Life Coach!
