Anxiety is often defined as; a fear-based emotion about a future event that you’re unable to imagine completing successfully. Just think about the possibility of changing, subconsciously, your perception of anything you’re anxious about into, “It’s already happened, and the outcome was positive… and WAS completed successfully!

This technique is sometimes called, “The Anxiety Cure Technique” or the Anxiety Release Technique.  Here’s how to do it:

Step 2.    Float Up Above Your Time Line

Close your eyes and imagine you are floating up into the air, above your Time Line. This mental imagery can induce an instant, light state of hypnosis, which will help you bypass your over-thinking, critical-analytical mind. Imagine that you can hover around and look out in any direction.  Notice that it’s relatively easy to imagine that you can see or feel your memories, lined up in the direction of your past.

Float back or over… into the past… and find a recent memory that is a positive or happy event. Stay above the memory looking down into it from above.  Notice how you look inside the memory. Is it 3 dimensional or flat like a picture? Is it in color or black & white?

This is a step you only need to do once, to help you in creating a mental concept of how you perceive your UNIQUE Time Line.

Step 3.   Stop Worry Quickly

Think about some future event or activity that you’re worried about. Notice what this anxiety feels like.

Step 4.   Go Out Into the Future

Next, float up above your Time Line and out into the direction of the Future. Go out 15 minutes past the successful completion of the event you were worried about. Turn back around and look back towards NOW.

Now, where’s the Anxiety?  Gone?

You should now feel a-kind-of emotional “numbness” when you think about your future event or situation. If not, you should repeat the technique, keeping the following in mind:

Limiting Caffeine to Help Anxiety

Caffeine is the one of the few mood-altering drugs that can be obtained everywhere without a prescription. Itâ€s the chemical ingredient found in coffee, tea, soft drinks and energy supplements that a vast majority of the worldâ€s population uses to improve their mental focus, memory and energy level. If OVERUSED it can cause nervousness. the jitters, sweaty palms and increased heart rate. These effects are physical and are individually felt differently for everyone, depending upon their tolerance level for this stimulant.

Caffeine consumption does NOT directly cause anxiety, but many anxiety sufferers discover that these physical symptoms can create the anticipation of having another anxiety or panic attack. This perception can spiral into the next attack.

This is especially true of severe panic attack disorders, where the minds focus is mostly on the physical symptoms being felt. This differs from anxiety attacks, in which the minds focus is on the specific cause of a stressful threat or worry about a future situation.

A person thatâ€s having frequent panic attacks should avoid caffeine use completey or dramatically cut-back!

Alcohol and Anxiety

A little alcohol (one cocktail) can be relaxing, relieve minor degrees of stress and anxiety, and, make you feel more confident. This is because it discrupts the brainâ€s neuro-receptors, temporarily supressing inhibition.

These are the effects of a depressant that changes your brain chemistry.  As alcohol levels are increased, these perceived pleasurable effects are often times replaced wth the negative emotional state of anger, depression, fear or anxiety.

Alcohol can distort your perception of reality, causing and increasing irrational fears, theats or sadness.  This can often lead to inappriate behaviour that destroys personal relationships at home, work or school.

Those dealing with anxiety should limit their attempts to self-medicate with alcoholic beverages of any kind. The InstaCalm Program can help you deal with anxiety and alleviate the need to abuse alcohol.

Tobacco Increases Anxiety

Smokers often believe that their cigarettes help them to relax. They donâ€t understand that nicotine is a stimulant and actually increases their level of stress and anxiety.

Research studies have shown that smoking causes 3 Types of Anxiety Disorder Symptoms to be made worse. They are Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder and Agoraphobia.

The urge or craving to smoke is an anxious feeling that is a result of nicotine withdrawl. These feelings add to other physical symptoms of anxiety and nervous tension.  If you smoke, hereâ€s one more reason to QUIT!

Sugar Consumption and Anxiety

Sugar does not cause anxiety. But, it can make it more difficult to manage. Most modern diets are loaded wth sugar in its†various forms of refined white sugar, corn syrup, fructose, cane sugar, beet sugar, honey,etc. Itâ€s found in most processed and packaged foods. Research has shown that increased amounts of blood sugar can cause inflamation in parts of the brain.

Brain inflamation interfers with the neuro-transmission between brain cells responsible for mood, memory, learning and proper cognitive functioning. This can greatly hinder your ability to change your thought process in order to stop anxiety and panic. Cutting-back on your sugar consumption can help you end your anxiety.
