HELPFUL TRAINS OF THOUGHT FOR SELF-MANAGEMENT OF ANXIETY: EXPERIENCE THE FEELING OF LETTING GO, THE FEELING OF INNER STRENGTH AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF SELF-DISCIPLINE
Posted on 2009 under Anti Depressants-Sleeping Aid | No CommentAnxiety and nervous tension often make us restricted. We are tense, and we hold ourselves in check. We cannot let ourselves go. As a result of this we lose our normal freedom and ease of manner. It comes to affect us in all that we do, in our work, in our leisure, in our intimate life. We hold ourselves back, and try as we may, we cannot let ourselves go with the normal sense of freedom that we once enjoyed.
Relaxed.
I feel the relaxation.
Feel the muscles let go.
They let go all through me.
It is in my mind.
I let go.
The Feeling of Inner Strength-The effects of anxiety tend to destroy our morale. We may have had the condition a long time, and had treatment that has not helped us. We feel like giving in. But remember you can be promised at least some help from the practice of our relaxing mental exercises. So do not give up. When you are thoroughly relaxed, think along these lines:
Relaxed.
All my muscles relaxed.
The calm of it all through me.
I feel the calm and the ease.
The calm that gives me strength.
The inner strength.
Remember the importance of the prior relaxation and regression. This is the key which opens the door of our mind to such ideas.
The Development of Self-Discipline-The way back to health from nervous illness always demands a fair degree of self-discipline. Some conditions require more, some less; and some of us find self-discipline easier than others. But we all need it for the struggle ahead, and we can help ourselves like this:
Relaxed.
Relaxed and calm.
The calm that gives us the strength.
The inner strength.
The strength to do what we have to do.
We can proceed further along these lines:
The inner strength.
It is calm strength.
Easy strength.
Easier and easier to be strong.
This of course is absolutely true. At first self-discipline is difficult, very difficult; but as we practise it more and more, it becomes easier and easier.
