Anxiety disorders are disabling conditions that take their form from irrational fears and worries. Women, in general, may go off into series of anxiety attacks in the face of increased pressure and biological changes such as monthly periods, pregnancy, or menopause.

To manage these anxiety attacks and their corresponding symptoms, here are 5 easy steps that every woman can put into practice to change her life.

1. Sweating Stress Away

Doctors often lecture about the physical benefits of exercise. But, rarely do the psychological benefits of increased physical activity being promoted. Because of this, scientists hold studies to test their hypotheses.

As a result, researchers have discovered the indisputable link between exercise and improved mental health condition. They revealed that engaging in aerobics, cycling, running, swimming, or any another form of physical activity helps relieve stress and works as well as medications in reducing anxiety. This is because exercise does not only train the body to learn new skills and new patterns of movement. It also trains the brain to become more anxiety-resistant.

The physical stress that working out puts the body into creates a lot of the same effects that mental stress does to the body. Therefore, as the body becomes more attuned to the effects of working out, such as increased heart rate, breathing pattern, blood pressure and sweating, the brain becomes more able to handle these changes as well. So when anxiety strikes, the body recognizes the changes similar to that of working out and becomes more able to handle the changes.

2. Sound Nutrition

A good diet that includes lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, and fish is found to act almost like medications to the brain. Experts say that with a solid foundation on good nutrition a lot of women will unlikely experience anxiety attacks and anxiety disorders.

During stressful times, proper nutrition reinforces the body’s resistance against the effects of stress. The vitamins and minerals absorbed from the diet act as buffers as well as boosters. They help support and stabilize the entire nervous system and adrenal glands from the damaging effects of stress. Moreover, good nutrition prevents inflammation to the brain and blood vessels that could lead to neurotransmitter imbalances and blood pressure spikes, common to anxiety sufferers.

With this fact, it is then absolutely important that women not only invest on their make-up but on their diet as well.

3. Soothing Aromatherapy

There is still little research to prove the truth behind the anxiety-reducing effects of aromatherapy. But preliminary researches show that this ingenious practice can alter a person’s brain waves and behavior.

Aromatherapy is the kind of therapy that uses essential oils and other scents to improve physical and mental state. The soothing scents of various essential oils like lavender, grapefruit, bergamot, ylang ylang, and peppermint help to reduce the perception of anxiety and stress. Their aroma, when inhaled or massaged on the skin, evokes pleasant memories and positive physiological responses that pave the way for the release of tension from the muscles and joints.

Aside from relieving stress, aromatherapy is also known for its medicinal benefits. It can be used as a first aid kit for minor burns and cuts. For women’s problems such as menopausal distress and PMS, these oils are particularly helpful, too. They decrease muscle spasms and enhance circulation. In addition, they are also known to induce sleep in people who have trouble sleeping or staying asleep.

4. Stabilizing Sex Hormones

Little do women know that sex hormones act on the brain to directly influence mood, cognition and behavior. With an imbalance of any of the sex hormones, women nearing menopause are likely to experience some anxiety and symptoms of hot flushes as an effect.

With low estrogen (when normally there was a surge before the menopausal stage), women are at risk for anxiety and depression. Estrogen is important to the integrity of the brain since this chemical promotes the production of neurotransmitters, particularly serotonin, which is responsible for reducing depressive moods.

Progesterone is also an important sex hormone. A drop in its levels leads to an increase risk for anxiety and insomnia.

Correcting these problems then through hormonal replacement therapy is an option worth looking at. By replacing the lost hormones, women can avoid the unpleasant effects of aging as well as anxiety.

5. Seeking Professional Help

When lifestyle changes prove to make little difference in creating a better, anxiety-free state, women experiencing anxiety attacks need to visit their trusted general practitioner and/or psychiatrist.

The expertise of a doctor can greatly shed light to the fears and anxieties that one feels. Through a complete physical examination, history taking, and symptoms checking, a doctor can eliminate any medical condition as a cause for the anxiety episodes. Once physical causes are ruled out, referral to a psychiatrist or therapist can follow.

The psychiatrist can prescribe certain drugs or perform psychotherapies that help alleviate anxiety symptoms. Over time, the combination of drugs and cognitive-behavioral therapy proves to restore the chemical imbalances in the brain, modify negative thinking, and reinforce better ways of coping with anxiety.

Anxiety disorders and its symptoms no longer have to be a problem as long as one takes appropriate measures to correct them. With the 5 easy steps of managing anxiety listed above, women can take power and rise above the troubles of anxiety.

Your past shapes who you are. The experiences you have throughout your life play an integral part in how you behave and look at the world.

This may not seem like a big deal, but in certain circumstances, it can become a detriment to your success.

Keeping your focus on your past can actually negatively affect things in the future. From your work life to your love life, even your day-to-day things can be affected by an inability to move past negative experiences.

Romance

It’s perfectly normal to feel sad after a breakup, and even spend some time licking your emotional wounds. However, focusing on relationships that are long over is an unhealthy way to live your life.

You can sabotage your future love life by idealizing your ex. This sets up a standard in your mind that no future romantic interests can meet. This robs you of potential opportunities for what could be even greater relationships.

Each romantic relationship, however, has something valuable you can take from it. Allow yourself to learn the lessons that the relationship teaches, then give yourself permission to move on.

Fears

Most fears are caused by prior experiences. People who are afraid of dogs usually had a bad experience with a dog. People who avoid eating certain foods likely had a really bad reaction to that food when they tried it.

While this is a rather indirect way of dwelling on the past, it can close you off to new experiences.

Forgiveness

Grudges can run deep. If a person feels that someone has wronged them, they could be hard pressed to let the person attempt to atone for their mistake.

Anger seems justified in a lot of circumstances. However, forgiveness is a major part of the healing process that can result in a tremendous restoration. People who were once alienated after a falling out can let bygones be bygones and start fresh.

Keep the Past in the Past

After a particularly negative experience, it’s human nature to put some emphasis on it. It’s important to remember that tomorrow is a brand new day. You can choose to start off with a completely blank slate.

Emotional responses are normal and grieving is a necessary process in tragic circumstances, but remaining stuck in that state is the danger. Emotional wounds begin to heal when, after a time of grieving, you move on with your life.

Take time to recover from negative experiences. Get  your complimentary Rapid Coaching session today! However, it’s equally important that you make an effort to let bygones be bygones. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life. Keep a positive outlook, even after a bad experience. Learn the lesson that the experience offers, file it away in your mind and choose to head in a positive direction.

The past has value, and should not be discarded entirely. But once you’ve learned the lessons from the past and gotten all the benefit it offers, take what you’ve learned and use it to move forward with a positive attitude in the direction of your dreams.

Confidence is the key to achieving your dreams and creating the life that you want to live.

People who lack confidence stay “stuck” in their comfort zone. It’s almost as if they are frozen in fear …

• Afraid to be who they really are
• Afraid to take risks
• Afraid to fail
• Afraid to succeed
• Afraid to take action
• Afraid of change
• Afraid of struggles

FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. You may be wondering what this means to you. It means that you create your own fear by your thoughts. You have imagined scenarios or events that have never actually occurred. You have become a prisoner of your own mind – frozen in fear. You believe it’s safer to stay in your “comfort zone” then it is to climb out of it and begin living the life you claim you really want.

The first step to obtaining unstoppable confidence is to look fear straight in the face and decide to take action regardless of how you feel. You realize that fear is a necessary struggle that allows you to emerge into the beautiful gifted person that you are.

Why are struggles necessary?

Think of the metamorphosis of a caterpillar to a butterfly. The caterpillar is short, stubby and has no wings. The next stage of life is the chrysalis. During this stage remarkable transformation occurs. Then the butterfly begins its struggle to emerge. If she emerges too soon, she will not be able to fly. Allowed to struggle through the transformation – she becomes a beautiful butterfly that can spread her wings – A New Beginning in her life.

What is Unstoppable Confidence

• It’s listening to your inner voice and trusting in it’s guidance, even if it may not make sense to you at the time.
• It’s knowing and trusting that everything will work out in your best interest, regardless how dark the day may be.
• It’s the ability to take the required action necessary to reach your goals – regardless of the fear you may be feeling.
• It’s accepting failures, knowing that each time you fail, you are one step closer to achieving your goal. You know that even though you will fail that you are not a failure.
• It’s believing you will achieve your desired outcome without being attached to the “how”.
• It’s being comfortable with saying “no”. You understand that every time you say “no” to one thing, you are in essence saying “yes” to something else.
• It’s understanding and knowing that you are an individual with unique gifts and experiences that are al your own. You know that no one else can be you – no one can replace you. It’s because of this knowing, that you don’t feel a need to compete with others.

3 Techniques to building Unstoppable Confidence

1. Visualizing – Use your imagination to walk through the doors of the unknown. Look around, What do you see? What do you hear? What do you feel? Dare to dream big and remember the quote by Napoleon Hill “What the mind can believe, it can achieve”.Your subconscious does not realize the difference between “real” or “make-believe”. The more you “make-believe” the harder your subconscious will work to make it your reality.
2. Awareness – Be aware of your thoughts. What self-limiting beliefs are you holding onto that is making you lack the confidence you need to achieve your goals? Ask yourself if these beliefs are really true? Why or why not? Who would you be if you “let go” if this belief?
3. Affirmations – Reprogram your subconscious with thoughts by using affirmations such as “I am confident”. If you say this and your inner voice is screaming at you that you are a big liar … then try a softer approach “Why am I confident?” Your mind will not argue with a question – instead it will try to figure out a way to answer the question. By asking yourself, “Why am I confident”, several times a day for at least 30 days, you will begin to feel more confident.

Confidence is something everyone struggles with from time to time. It can be scary to venture out and try something new, be it a new job, a new relationship, beginning a family or moving to a different area. Other life events that may interfere with your level of confidence is ending a relationship, a job that you hate, losing a job and kids going off to college.

Life is ALL about change. Nothing is the same today as it was yesterday. This is why you will never be 100 percent confident — there’s always something new or different to learn and try. The sad thing is that there confidence busters that can keep you stuck and prevent you from growing to your full potential. Be aware of them and turn them around to be confident boosters instead …

Top 5 Confidence Busters

Feeling Out of Control

Do you lack confidence because you feel out of control? Most of us are “trained” to believe that life just happens. Some people are lucky and some are not. We are told that people over 50 can’t get jobs, that the economy is bad – the unemployment rate is high, there are no good men (or women) left out there, that life is hard work etc. With these beliefs cemented in your subconscious, you live day to day reacting to circumstances and people around you.

The TRUTH is that YOU do have control. Your reality – what you see around you – is based on your beliefs and your perceptions. Once you realize this, you begin thinking thoughts and taking actions that create the reality you want. For instance if you are in a job that you hate, there is no reason for you to stay there a minute longer than necessary – All that is required is for you to determine what you want to do, the steps to get there and taking action everyday, such as taking night classes to learn skills needed, completing applications, talking to people in the field you want to be in and when the time is right, you will be able to say good-bye to the job you hate and begin one that you enjoy. The alternative is to do nothing and go to work day after day at a job you despise while it is killing the flame inside of you.

You feel out of control because you are looking at the outside – the circumstance, instead look inside at your passions and your desires and listen to your inner-voice. By following your heart and taking action, you will soon see that you are indeed in control of your life.

Expecting Perfection

Perfection is a myth. It is unattainable. There is no one perfect, yet we are all perfect in our imperfections. Believing that you need to be perfect and that mistakes are not an option can bust your confidence all to pieces. Every time you do something you see all the flaws and none of the beauty in what you have created. You may compare your work to other peoples work and constantly condemn your own. It’s hard to accept compliments because you feel it’s not perfect.

The TRUTH is that you are perfect just the way you are. You are the sum total of all of your thoughts and experiences up to this point. Stop getting in your own way by expecting perfection. Do you see the flaws in other people as much as you see them in yourself? Probably not. Something to remember is that other people do not expect perfectionism from you.

Procrastination

All procrastination is – is an excuse not to do what you know in your heart needs to be done in order for you to achieve success. You probably procrastinate because you are afraid of failure or success. If you don’t begin then no one can judge you. If you don’t begin then you don’t need to be concerned about it being perfect.

The TRUTH is that you are worthy of success, of love, of achieving your dreams. Face your fears with one small baby step, then another and another. If you think back, you will more than likely think of many times, that you were afraid to start something or thought that it would be boring, after taking the first step, you picked up momentum and had a pleasurable time and enjoyed the final outcome. Remember every journey – no matter how small – begins with the first step.

The Past

A person that is constantly thinking of the past, is living in the past. This also includes replaying happy times over and over in your head. If you are constantly wishing “life was like it used to be,” or “I should’ve, could’ve done or said this,” you are surrendering to something that you truly have no control of – the past. The past is gone. It can not be changed or altered in any way shape or form.

The TRUTH is that by conditioning yourself to look at the present moment, you can and will create a brighter future. Instead of dwelling on past fights, look at what is around you right this second, and remember that “All is Well!”. Use this mantra or a similar one, when you begin to fret about the past. Get out a piece of paper and write down 10 things you are grateful for, right this moment. Live in the NOW, it is all that you have.

Negative Thinking

Be aware of your thoughts. Negative thinking will never get you anywhere good. If you constantly think that you are not good enough, smart enough, pretty enough, capable enough … you will continue to bring unwanted things into your life, due to your deep rooted belief that you are not worthy of good things. If you constantly think “My husband doesn’t care for me, he ignores me, doesn’t enjoy my company” etc, you will act in a way that will cause him not to want to be around you. Your thoughts create your words and actions and your actions affect everyone and everything around you.

The TRUTH is that you can change your thinking. Just be aware of your thoughts and when a negative thought comes up, replace it with a positive one. You may also want to get out a pen and paper and list every negative thought you can think of and then consciously rewrite it in the positive. Another idea is to periodically check in on your thoughts and write down exactly what you are thinking. It’s almost miraculous the way things seem to change around you once you begin focusing on the positive within you and the positive in other people and things.

Why or Why Not?

It could be that you are too afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Maybe you want to start a new business online, change jobs, move to another city or a host of other desires that you are keeping an arm’s length away.

You tell yourself that your really want to have this experience in life. In the same breath, they will list a thousand reasons why they can’t. Whether your reason is fear of failing, fear of being made fun of, fear of not being smart enough, fear that you don’t have enough time or fear that you don’t have the right resources … They are ALL excuses that keep you from expanding.

True fear is an emotion experienced in anticipation of pain or danger towards ourselves or our loved ones. This is when our body acts in the “Fight or Fleet” mode for our basic survivor.

The fear most of us experience today is more along the line of anxiety or stress. This fear leads to procrastination and keeps us from living the life we want.

The acronym for FEAR is False Evidence Appearing Real. You may be wondering what this means to you. It means that you create your own fear by your thoughts. You have imagined scenarios or events that have never actually occurred. You have become a prisoner of your own mind – frozen in fear. You believe it’s safer to stay in your “box” then it is to climb out of it and begin living the life you claim you want.

What is it you really want?

Most people want the same thing …. Freedom, Happiness and Love.

One of the ways to achieve this is by having your own online business. Have you ever thought about how great it would be to have your own business? How would it feel to have a thriving business that could grow, while giving you the freedom to share quality time with your family and pursue other hobbies and interests?

If you have ever thought of beginning your own business, have a dream of helping others or already have a small website that is just sitting there and not doing much, consider signing up for the Success Charged Master Mind Group. You’ll learn the ropes of creating a successful online business and meet like-minded people.

Keep in mind that freedom, happiness and love CAN NOT CO-EXIST with FEAR. You can overcome fear by taking action – even if it’s a teeny-weeny step. With each step you take, you will realize that there was nothing to fear at all. With each step you will adapt to a new way of thinking and living which expands your life and your opportunities during your path to success.

We look around and perceive this person doing this to us and we perceive this event doing that to us, and we keep judging, and judging until we think we feel better. But do we, really?

If love conquers all fears then why are we not tapping into our inner love and light at each moment?

Because we are on autopilot and the ego loves playing this game. If we step back we can see the game at play and in that moment we can be healed with the help of Spirit/Higher Self.

In A Course In Miracles we are taught that we are to seek and find all of the barriers within ourselves that we have built against love; our true Self. Barriers are fears and they come in all forms, some obvious and some subtle.

These fears are the pieces to the game, which the ego uses to distract us from knowing our true Self. The game board is the perceived world we see with our bodily eyes. Our role is to identify the fears, bring them to Spirit/Higher Self and thus allowing in love and peace to see beyond the game to the truth of Oneness.

So how do we do this and what are the benefits?

Let’s talk about the benefits first. We all experience stress in all aspects of life, what if your daily stress significantly reduced or even was eliminated? Would this entice you? What if you had high blood pressure and then one day it became normal? What if your significant other’s complaints, nagging or anger was completely gone? What if you had a boss that was on your back each day and then he began expressing gratitude for your work?

What is really going on here is the healing of the hidden barriers/fears that are held in the ego mind; the unconscious mind. With the help of Spirit/Higher Self light and love is coming forward and we thus experience more peace, joy and love in our life. Our perception has now changed.

You cannot control what is happening, but you can change your perception about what is happening. You are beginning to understand the rules of the game, you are doing your part, and you are turning the tide in your favor, the tide of love.

So why not get started in partnership with Spirit/Higher Self and allow love to shine forth Truth.

Discover your barriers to love.

Let’s talk about conscious fears, those that are easy to identify and good practice to start with. Many times these fears are expressed as a lack of some kind. Begin by writing down these fears in life stages, such as, what were my fears as a young child, adolescent, and young adult.

• Here are some idea starters:
• I do not have enough money
• He/she does not love me enough
• I am not confident
• I am not pretty/handsome enough
• It is always my fault or it is always your fault
• I will never be successful
• I am not lovable

Another way to identify your fears is through recognizing that you are not in a peaceful state. Any upset whether it is, a concern, headache, anxiety, stress, tension, anger, judgment, stubbed toe, worry, resistance of any kind, or a simple paper cut, you are not in peace and love.

You probably are thinking, you guys are nuts!

Keep in mind there are only two emotions, love and fear. In Truth, we are all love, peace and joy, so if you are not at peace, love and joy, then you are at some conscious or unconscious fear state. The form does not matter, fear will manifest in a numerous variety of ways. Remember, these are the pieces of the ego game to distract us.

Healing your barriers to love.

We cannot heal our fears alone, we need the assistance of Spirit/Higher Self because it remembers our Oneness and removes these fears from our mind; slowly dissolving the ego mind and the illusory game of life. Spirit/Higher Self only sees love and thus teaches us to see with only love, passed our fears to our Truth of Oneness with God.

Spirit/Higher Self knows we have never left Oneness, we just do not remember, we think we have separated from Oneness. Healing our fears awakens us, and allows us to remember our Oneness; the veil begins to lift. We see with love and our perceptions change.

The process to use in healing our fears is forgiveness. In A Course In Miracles, we are taught that forgiveness recognizes that what you thought another did to you has not occurred. If we are still at home in Oneness then how could another do something to you?

So how do you apply forgiveness when stuff hits the fan?

As hard as it may be, do not react and take a step back to remember, “I am not in peace.”

Here is a simple four-step forgiveness process to work with Spirit/Higher Self.
State the following to yourself:

1. You/this event is really not happening
2. If I think you/this event is causing this (state your fear) and I made you up then this fear really resides in me.
3. Since the separation from Oneness has not occurred we are all innocent and forgiven
4. I now align with Spirit/Higher Self to show me Truth

You can now apply this process to the fears you have written down and at each moment you are not at peace.

So who is in charge?

Our choice each day is to determine who you want to be in charge, the ego mind or the Spirit/Higher Self mind. Do you want fear or love to rule your daily thoughts?

Each day, awaken and put Spirit/Higher Self in charge of your thoughts, actions and words. Continually remind yourself that peace, love and joy are your goals to share with others.

As you use these steps, you will notice your perceptions changing. The steps may appear easy but when things go haywire remembering to forgive may seem difficult. Do not be hard on yourself, when you do remember, forgive and be at peace. Let love shine forth to dissolve all your fears.

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by fear?

Has fear ever prevented you from doing something you wanted to do?

Believe it or not, this obstacle is one faced daily by many people.

By giving fear power you are giving it control over your life. You are giving up your ability to:

• Take risks
• Follow your dreams
• Become successful
• Be completely happy
• Feeling worthy and confident

If you consistently give in to fear your quality of life will eventually crumble.  If your fear is keeping you locked in an emotional prison – It may benefit you to learn learn “A Natural Technique” for immediate anxiety relief.

Did you know that Fear is Nothing more than a Conditioned Response?

It’s normal to feel fear. In matter of fact that’s what gives us our “Fight or Flight” response when faced with a threat. It’s also quite normal to feel fear in an unfamiliar situation. Don’t think you can’t overcome it – just because it’s an automatic response …

3 Tips to Overcoming Fear

1)Be Positive

One of the reasons people fear is that they expect the worst. They worry obsessively about what could go wrong. They constantly ask “What if” and “If only” questions.

Make a conscious effort to expect the best. Find the positive side to each and every situation.
Focus on your strengths and capabilities. Remind yourself that you can handle more than you think. Believe in yourself – You are capable of handling any situation thrown your way.

When fears start creeping into your consciousness – immediately replace it with a positive thought. You’ll be able to keep your fears in perspective by remaining confident and positive.

2) Know the Odds

Fear and worry are closely related. When you are worried you fear the worst. Experts state that the majority of things we worry about never come to pass.

Look closely at your fears. If they are unfounded, it may be easier to dismiss them.
Don’t let fear get a chokehold on you. Let’s say you have a fear of public speaking and your boss has just

told you that you will be the main speaker at an important meeting.

You feel as if your life and/or livelihood are on the line. You immediately start thinking …

• What if I forget my speech?
• What if I say the wrong thing?
• What if my colleagues lose respect for me?
• What if I get fired?
• What if …?

Take a deep breath and clear your head. Ask yourself logically what’s the chance any of the “What Ifs” will happen?

In most cases you’ll discover that there’s not much of likelihood. With a calm and clear mind you can now get to work creating a solid presentation. You can brainstorm ways to improve your performance. Concentrate on being well prepared by practicing your speech on your family and friends.

3) Face Your Fears

Do what you fear. Your fear and anxiety might increase a little when you think about facing it. But once you’ve faced it, you’ll more than likely think – it wasn’t near as bad as you thought it would be.

• Afraid of public speaking – Give a speech.
• Afraid of heights – look out over the city from a balcony in a high rise
• Afraid of spiders – learn about them, through the internet, your local library or a natural habitat museum.

Facing your fears is a 3 step process:

1. Make a commitment to face your fear head on
2. Visualize yourself facing your fear while remaining calm and confident
3. Taking action and facing your fear

Fear is simply a feeling. You have control over your feelings. Fear in itself can’t harm you. Choose to ignore it and move forward except in truly threatening situations.

If you weigh the pros and cons in any situation, you may decide that the possibility of negative consequences is minimal so there’s nothing to stop you from ignoring your fear and going for it! This will be determined by you on a case by case basis, of course. The point isn’t to become reckless with your decision-making but rather to empower yourself to know when a fear is groundless and easily overcome.

If this scenario sounds all too familiar …

What is causing your procrastination?

Let’s explore the common reasons people procrastinate and offer a few tips on overcoming procrastination.

Four Common Reasons People Procrastinate:

1.  Fear of failure or Success
2.  Fear of Rejection
3.  Poor Organizational Skills
4.  Lack of Self Esteem

Overcoming Procrastination:

Fear of Failing or Succeeding
First you need to understand your resistance.  Ask yourself what you are the most afraid of?
*The Task itself
* The Requirements needed to fulfill the task
* The outcome – possible failure or success

What will happen if you fail?
Perhaps you fear not meeting the high expectations others have of you.

What will happen if you succeed?
Perhaps you fear more pressure will be placed on you for future projects.  Or maybe you think you’ll lose friends due to jeaolusy. Or it could just be the fear of the unknown.

Fear of Rejection
If this is the reason you’re clinging to procrastination it originates from a lingering uncertainty in your mind.  It’s probably generated by past rejection.  Try not to put so much importance on what others think.  Others do not make or break you.  Let them talk – just be true to yourself. Those who love you will accept you just as you are – flaws and all.

Poor Organizational Skills
Overcoming procrastination due to poor organizational skills should be fairly easy.  It’s just a matter of creating small lists of things you need to do.  don’t pressure yourself by creating a long to do list – we recommend your list contain about five things to do.  Once the tasks are completed you’ll have a feeling of accomplishment and will be ready to face 5 more things on your to do list.  Do not allow anyone or anything to overpower you; your life; or your achievements.

Lack of Self Esteem
Feeling unworthy can prevent you from completing the simplest task.  The best thing to do is to start with an easy task.  Once you’ve accomplished it your confidence will build.  Then you can gradually work your way through all the tasks needed for completion.  Each task completed will boost your confidence  and make you feel more positive about the things you are able to accomplish.

Stop procrastination, boost your motivation and self confidence, develop laser-sharp focus and concentration to get more things done in less time by using the Morry Method.

One of the best ways to overcome procrastination is to make lists of every task needed to accomplish your main objective.  Each time you cross off a task you’ll be lifting a weight off of your shoulders. The secret is not to overload your mind with tasks neither you nor anyone else can handle.  Take it one step at a time. Remember, no one is testing you; there is no time-clock. There is no pressure.

Conquering Procrastination: offers time tested solutions to defeating procrastination and making time a positive force in your life.

Our feelings in themselves are not good or bad. They just are. You shouldn’t ever let anyone tell you how you should feel about any given circumstance.

Each person reacts to any given situation based on their past experiences. Our emotions are directly related to adaptive behavior and are designed to increase our survival instinct.

According to American psychologist Robert Plutchik every feeling we have is derived from the following eight primary emotions …

Acceptance – the feeling of being liked/loved just as you are. Giving credence to your thoughts, actions and beliefs.

Anger – a feeling that is oriented toward some real or supposed grievance

Anticipation – a feeling of pleasure (and sometimes anxiety) in considering some expected or longed-for good event, or irritation at having to wait.

Disgust – typically associated with things that are perceived as unclean, inedible or infectious.

Fear – a powerful, unpleasant feeling of risk or danger, either real or imagined.

Joy – a feeling of pleasure; a source of happiness.

Sadness – a state of unhappiness and hopelessness.

Surprise – a feeling of shock due to something perceived as unexpected. (Can be pleasant or unpleasant).

You may note that the eight primary emotions are four pairs of opposites;

Acceptance / Disgust; Fear / Anger; Joy / Sadness; Surprise / Anticipation

These eight emotions can be blended in numerous ways for instance blending joy and acceptance gives us the feeling of love.

Even though we cannot experience opposite emotions at the same time, positive and negative emotions can be blended. Acceptance and Fear leads to submissiveness.
