Get much better at managing and eliminating anxiety - a recommended resource

(If you receive this in an email, click on the title to read the entire piece.} 

An excellent, very usable resource notebook for processing and eliminating anxiety in one's life.  I recommend it strongly for anyone experiencing the truly unnecessary, overused practice of anxiety!

Check it out and see what you think (and let me know of your results, please!).

Excerpt from my screened and selected Psychology Resources To Build Into The Life Program: 


"The Anti-Anxiety Notebook 

This notebook closes the accessibility gap, giving a non-intimidating, simple to understand explanation and guide and forms to follow that anyone can do.  It explains the concept of why to use this Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methodology and how this evidence proven “gold standard” methodology works and then guides you through the process.  The journal entries are structured for easy entry, with basic, answerable questions, ratings, and faulty thinking options that you circle as they apply to the current entry. 

Cost: $40,00 (except currently you can order one and get one free - it’s a good resource that one is likely to use for awhile, so you might as well get the free extra one).


Site: Www.therapynotebooks.com 


How to use this with my Site:  When they use a term and you need more understanding of what it is, enter the term in The Site’s search engine.

Take the GAD (generalized anxiety) test in the notebook upfront and then use it later to monitor. 

Rating:  Easy, excellent usefulness and results!!"

____________________________________________________________________________

For those who are going to take the full trip on my programs, use this as a build up that will educate you, make you more aware, and alleviate many of your fears/anxieties, especially in the moment.


However, I'd encourage you to "stay on the train" to your destination and be sure not to stop short of the great transformation that is possible. People get good at the Power Pause Timeout Tool, get some good benefits, and even a "high feeling", but then they stop short of completing the final step and ultimate purpose of the process in that tool: to eliminate ALL of their top fears and not to leave them in place to plague us over and over. I hope you follow the process through! (Email me if you need any further direction in that or to clear it up, after reading about the tool and following the links that lead you to completion.)

A workshop hugely worth the price and the time.


 I took it’s predecessor 30 years ago...and I found this to be a remarkably useful, fully packed with content and implementation experience.  

Video from:  Unleash The Power Within November 2020 Virtual.

I challenge you to write down all the concepts even in this brief highlights video - and to ask yourself if this might be of value in your life.  

I’d recommend doing the next one:  2021 first one

Robin even did the board breaking exercise (a metaphor for fear into power).

Do this to unravel the mind’s chaos and master your emotions...!!!!!

 (In email, click on the post title in order to read the entire post.) 

A core goal of this site is to unravel the confusion and chaos of the mind, moving from vagueness and lack of control to clarity and insight and eventually to mastery.


To do the unraveling, we might well use “philosophical meditation” (or simply “introspection” into what and how we think).  In that process, we set aside the time to identify and figure out what is actually going on.  What is going on in our brain, our emotions, and our thinking. And how might we better it.


A very good, though lengthy, discussion of this goes on in this piece from The School Of Life:


Philosophical Meditation: An Emotional Skill


This will give you greater insight on the process and how, if we persist (and don’t make the common mistake of “stopping short”!), we will attain an understanding and a mastery that will transform our lives forever...IF we do “the work”!


This discussion also contains some valuable exercises that I recommend you include in your tool kit for managing your life. Do those, or at least try them for the next 7 days (or 7 sessions), and see how it works.


(If you don’t have time now to do this, put it on your to do list or schedule!)


And please, do let me know the results, insights, and the effects on your thinking and beliefs and emotions... Contact

Very worthwhile, methinks, for what you can learn about life and personal power - consider this

 Although this is a “high energy” event that some people might think has no real value, there is definitely a lot a business or professional person can learn from it, in terms of developing actual power - and he takes you through it in an interesting, very enjoyable way.

With the lower price (and no travel costs) for the virtual event, the worth is unquestionable, methinks (I am not affiliated).

If you do it, I recommend that you “attend” full time, to get the full experience - and to seriously, seriously, seriously take notes so that you can do “completed” learning, where you follow through with full implementation to actually get the maximum RESULTS!

You're breathing 3 times faster than what is healthiest - a book that will enlighten your breathing

 The average American is breathing 18 times a minute, when the healthiest rate is about 6 times a minute, or 5.5 seconds in and 5.5 seconds out.

And almost half of Americans breathe with their mouth open, which is very bad  for health.

James Nestor wrote a great book on this and it is summarized very well here.

This falls in the category of the most important things to masterfully learn (and implement into life), as it is something we do millions of times in our lifetime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111

Brian Johnson’s Top 10 Books Ever

Try watching this guy for a week and it’ll change your life!  (He has over 600 book summaries, so he’s gone in depth AND he has implemented them into his life!

 Brian Johnson’s Top 10 Books Ever (Video, 11:14)

The sickness in our poor thinking in politics, our education system, our beliefs, and our interactions with each other

 In a new book (identified below):

"Something is going wrong on many college campuses in the last few years. Rates of anxiety, depression, and suicide are rising. Speakers are shouted down. Students and professors say they are walking on eggshells and afraid to speak honestly. How did this happen?

 
First Amendment expert Greg Lukianoff and social psychologist Jonathan Haidt show how the new problems on campus have their origins in three terrible ideas that have become increasingly woven into American childhood and education: what doesn’t kill you makes you weaker; always trust your feelings; and life is a battle between good people and evil people. These three Great Untruths are incompatible with basic psychological principles, as well as ancient wisdom from many cultures. They interfere with healthy development. Anyone who embraces these untruths—and the resulting culture of safetyism—is less likely to become an autonomous adult able to navigate the bumpy road of life.
 
Lukianoff and Haidt investigate the many social trends that have intersected to produce these untruths. They situate the conflicts on campus in the context of America’s rapidly rising political polarization, including a rise in hate crimes and off-campus provocation. They explore changes in childhood including the rise of fearful parenting, the decline of unsupervised play, and the new world of social media that has engulfed teenagers in the last decade.
 
This is a book for anyone who is confused by what is happening on college campuses today, or has children, or is concerned about the growing inability of Americans to live, work, and cooperate across party lines.

The rules to make discussions more "progressive", for better results...

 Wouldn't it be nice if we had rules, and followed them, for progressive, solution producing discussions?

Politics, negotiations, agreement reaching.  I do love, because I've applied it surprisingly successfully, and would recommend the book Getting To Yes, by William Ury.  

Meanwhile, here is a possible tool that could make discussions, and debates, much more productive: 

The Rules For Progressive Discussions - If We Want A Progressive Conversations, Let’s Agree On The Rules.

A LESSON THAT, IT SEEMS, FEW PEOPLE HAVE LEARNED - AND THE BENEFIT OF “SHIFTING”

 A Facebook post: 


My mom had a lot of problems. She did not sleep and she felt exhausted. She was irritable, grumpy, and bitter. She was always sick, until one day, suddenly, she changed.


The situation was the same, but she was different.

 

One day my dad said to her:


- I've been looking for a job for three months and I haven't found anything, I'm going to have a few beers with friends.

 

My mom replied:

- It's okay.

There is no better choice than to fix that pattern!!!!

 Isn't it radically clear that when we solve our symptoms but fail to address the root cause and fix them that we make little progress and just get to repeat the same old emotional pains over and over and over?

"Avoiding things that trigger you isn't healing.  The biggest healing happens when you are triggered and instead of reacting or retreating within you [or into an "escape" of some sort] move through your old patterns and find a new path [pattern]."

                                                      Fix the pattern - copyable image.

Why You Think You’re Right - Even If You’re Wrong

(If you received this in email, click on the title to read the rest of this post.) 

When we get over this, we find life and our decisions become much, much better.

Why You Think You’re Right - Even If You’re Wrong, Julia Galef (video, 11:43)

Though few who are so committed to being right will actually read this, Michael Shermer discusses it and 
makes it so utterly clear in his book, which I’ve summarized at several levels on my site; here’s the basic summary.:

THE BELIEVING BRAIN - KNOW THIS! OR BE THE VICTIM OF IT, FOR LIFE!  

Are you a victim of this?  

It is interesting to look at people who are on the extremes and justify false conclusions, but ones that can negatively affect the world.   Other than probably not having a bad intent, if they cause deaths are they different than the ignorant intentional killers in terms of their results???  In the real world, it is always the actual results we look to for evaluating an action.  See: Ethics Vs. Morality... which is more valid?...

Pure motivation is vital to life, but we won't find it unless we create it...

 (In email, click on the post title in order to read the entire post.) 

This is vital to life, yet we leave it up to circumstances or other people to do it, when, in fact, we can create it ourselves, removing all the barriers and conflicts.  

If you're stuck, here's how to get unstuck...

I lack motivation...please fix it for me...I can't...

This will forever transform your life...

_____________________________________________________

Because of the nature and depth of the pieces I post here, it is not likely that you will have the time right now to fully "process" those you find of interest and value.

Accordingly, I would recommend that you note them down on your to do (or projects) list, or tickle/schedule them for later - otherwise, they will just drift off into a dark hole of nothingness...
