🔥🔥🔥 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 >.
