This article is not a replacement for professional medical assistance, if you are suicidal or your symptoms are not under control then take the necessary course of action and contact a mental health team of professionals.
The only reason I have written this article is because I have been there, and in the throws of being there I was also supported by a team of professional people.
If you find yourself stuck in the endless rhythm of stress, anxiety, panic or depression and unable to see the wood for the trees, then read these three easy natural action steps that you can do immediately to get the relief you are so desperately searching for.
Action Step One
When we look at making changes in our life, the first step is always the most difficult one to take, and tackling anxiety, depression or stress is no different. The first part is to accept that this is where you are now right this very minute, you are nowhere else but here with this experience. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY and ACCEPT. Nothing outside of yourself is causing this.
I used to think that what is known as an external stressor (that is something outside of yourself) was the cause and blamed that for all the stress, anxiety, panic and even depression that I was once experiencing. I also used to think and partly believe that these external effects were responsible and therefore out of my own control to change.
The first massive action you can honour yourself with right at this very moment is to accept that you are right in this moment totally in control of who you are and that you are the only person who is responsible for those thoughts.
The first time you allow yourself to take and accept this responsibility can be quite overwhelming, but that is okay as it soon becomes so liberating it is awesome.
Accepting responsibility is one of the best things you can do for yourself it offers you so much freedom, and brings about a whole new set of opportunities. Acceptance brings with it the realisation that you are the only one in charge and that you can get out of this experience and into something new and better.
Of course there are always going to be situation and people outside of yourself that you can blame but that is a cop out and the only person you let down by believing they are responsible is YOU.
By focusing on these external factors is not going to help – refocus your attention and perception and say:
“No matter what has happened – no matter what others did or did not do, I and I alone am totally responsible for where I am now and I am totally responsible for the way I am feeling right now, and therefore it is in my control to change it and I now choose to get myself out of it.”
This is a very powerful stress management technique it brings back your own level of empowerment and releases it from external people and or situations.
Stating this statement out loud to yourself is taking responsibility not blame yourself for things which are going on inside of you. Taking responsibility is constructive, blaming yourself for the way you are is destructive, ensure that you remember this important aspect.
ACTION STEP TWO
In setting yourself a target to aim for the chances of you achieving it is a lot higher than if you just aim and hope for the best. So in the case of stress, anxiety, panic and depression then making a firm target would go something like this:
“My intention is to conquer stress/anxiety/panic/depression. They are no longer acceptable and I intend to replace them with peace/harmony/balance/love, I give myself permission in all directions and in all lifetimes to honour this new intention with immediate effect.”
Oh my goodness how wonderful, inspirational and motivational does that sound. Wow how much are you empowered and back in control now?
I am not saying that the above statement is a wonder or miracle statement but something has to shift on some level when you use the right language. It is the start and one foot in front of the other is a good place to be right now.
Of course there are other tools and techniques that work, but at this moment in time you can dramatically improve the quality of your life with the use of these powerful stress management techniques.
Excellent good job so here is powerful ACTION STEP THREE
Now this powerful technique has been in circulation for hundreds of years and used worldwide, it is also a very simple step as are most things are, I have a saying that “life only gets complicated and out of control when people’s wrong/negative thoughts get involved”
There is no “magical” solution just the right use of words to bring about powerful life changing effects. I now this first hand because I have an ology in complicating life.
So the third empowering statement is:
Change your thoughts and perception and you will change the outcome.
I know that it appears simple but the power behind this is incredible. The way you think about anything that is happening in your life affects the way you feel.
You create feelings from the thoughts which you have, and most of the time you have thousands of unconscious thought per day those are the thoughts which happen without you feeling as if you have no control over them, and they happen most of the time without your awareness. I call them the “silent players on repeat” even a smell can trigger them without your awareness.
Have you heard of the saying “what you give out you get back” well if you haven’t you have now, and the theory behind this is that the universe acts as a huge mirror and your thoughts bounce back to you as experiences, so if your unconscious is playing silently in the background saying “I can’t afford to buy that dress” “I shouldn’t spend that money” “What if I can’t put food on the table” etc etc when you are out shopping, then that is most likely to be the voice that the mind listens to. And if by some chance you still continue to buy the dress despite the silent voice chances are you will take it back, or feel extremely guilty and beat yourself up further. The same applies to depression, anxiety, stress and panic.
Another saying is what you resist persists, and the deeper the suffering becomes, the thicker the trees become in that forest you may feel you are in. The other saying is that if you carry on doing what you are doing you are going to keep getting the same results.
So it is not rocket science to work out that if you consciously change your thoughts and repeat them over and over and over like your unconscious does then eventually and sometimes immediately you will change the outcome.
Nobody said it was going to be easy, but you allowed yourself to get to this place which means that you can change its course and direction and create a completely different outcome by using the three 100% natural and highly-effect stress management techniques.
I know they work because this is what I used.
Have a positive fantastic week, and love yourself, be kind to yourself and 100% respect yourself, and NEVER, EVER give up.
