I have issues with anxiety

Many people live lives full of anxiety, and it can make life hard to enjoy.

If you can’t fall asleep at night due to a worried feeling, your anxiety might just be making you too wired to fall asleep at night.  You’ll need to do 1 (or more) of 3 things:

  1. Deal with your anxiety and learn how to control it.
  2. Learn about how to change your thinking patterns at night.
  3. SHUT OFF your anxiety before bed.

Here are some of the most successful programs for anxiety:

The following two programs are some of the MOST SUCCESSFUL anxiety coaching programs available. If you suffer from anxiety and haven’t taken acton, truly consider these programs, because anxiety costs you a lot more than you might think.

How much would it be worth to be able to relax whenever you want? To go into stressful situations with ease? To be able to enjoy everything in your life and the people you love?

To most people, this would be worth hundreds if not thousands of dollars. Next to that, these programs cost nothing, and with a little effort on your part, you can learn how to master your anxiety.

How to SHUT OFF anxiety:

Many people are able to calm all anxiety they are experiencing within minutes by meditating.

Anxiety and meditation can’t coexist because meditation demands your full focus.  Your brain has to focus on it’s worries for you to feel anxiety.  Meditation takes the power away from the rushing feelings of anxiety by changing your focus on all levels.

The more you mediate, the more you’ll be able to train your brain to take an alternative focus.

It does take some practice to meditate well, but it’s simple enough.  If your anxiety is bad, see calming words from the box above, or the “Instant Calming” technique below if you need help with your meditation.

To learn more about meditation and how you can fully harness it to put yourself to sleep and stop your anxiety, see my page on meditation by clicking here.

Try This - “Instant Calming”
Breathing Technique

This technique is so powerful, it could actually put you to sleep on it’s own, but there’s one key ingredient to making that happen.

You must do this technique just to enjoy the technique itself. You must *get into* this technique and not care about or think about sleep. The more you care about the technique, the more into it you are, and the more accepting you are of the fact that you may not sleep at all, the better this technique will work.

It’s only as good as you are at following the above statement.

So try this right now:

Breath in, counting to 2, and then breath out, counting to 8.

It should go like this: In 1, 2. Out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8. In 1, 2. Out 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8.  Try it now.  Just keep repeating this breathing pattern and notice how your brain slows down and you become very calm and tired.

It’s this kind of thinking that’s essential to sleep.  This technique is well know, but can be found Dr. Siegfried Haug’s book, I Want to Sleep: Unlearning Insomnia - Treat Yourself to a Good Night, which is packed full of techniques like this one.
