System

Almoat all of your panic is caused by the obsessive thoughts you have. Whenever you’ve had anxiety in the past, it began with an obsessive thought, guaranteed. And then it gained momentum and went on to become the anxiety-related problem you experienced or the panic attack you had.

You might be thinking that this isn’t how anxiety works with you and that obsessive thoughts aren’t to blame, and if that’s the situation I’d like you to start paying attention to your own anxiety and to what you’re feeling and thinking right before it gets out of control.

You’ll be surprised what you discover, because obsessive thoughts are at the heart of anxiety and panic in EVERYONE. I know this from talking and working with literally THOUSANDS of people who are just like you, and who are just like I was when obsessive thoughts were causing my own anxiety for 17 years.

The really terrible thing about having an anxiety disorder is that you can’t just shut off your horrible thoughts like a lot of non-anxious people can. So you need a different option. And that option is to find ways to bring an instant halt to a potentially harmful thought before it ever has a chance to become an obsession.

So I’m gonna share a quick 3 step system you can start using TODAY anytime you have a harmful or negative thought that you need to stop before it becomes obsessive and causes you real problems. And here are the 3 steps:

Step One is to retrain your thinking, ASAP. You need to get it to a place where it can spot a negative or potentially damaging thought the moment that it starts. This includes thoughts that start out very small and seem to be no problem at all. These small thoughts can grow into big ones that cause serious problems, so these need to be treated just as the obviously terrible thoughts are treated.

Step #2: People with no anxiety problems drop a harmful or negative thought after a few seconds, and that’s why it doesn’t cause them anxiety. You need to become like them. And since the only way to stop one thought is by having ANOTHER thought, you need to think something else as soon as you detect any of these harmful thoughts. What should you think of? Anything – whatever it takes to stop that original and harmless thought.

Okay, step three is to make this new positive way of thinking a habit that happens automatically, just as your harmful thoughts are happening automatically for you right now. The only way to make this happen is to think positive thoughts as often as possible. In time, your brain will automatically think these positive thoughts when your mind wanders, where once it would have gone immediately to the damaging thoughts you experience right now.

Start putting these 3 steps into action as soon as possible and your obsessive thoughts and panic-related problems will quickly be under control.
