It’s been a busy day in the studio recording my upcoming product – Anxiety No More.
All the tracks have now been professionally recorded. The product will include a ten minute introduction explaining how anxiety starts and keeps itself going, a 30 minute anxiety freedom hypnosis and a 20 minute confidence boosting hypnosis track.
I’ve been getting some great feedback from my client reviewers and the latest recordings are now off for the second round of user testing.
Driving anxiety is one of the more common fears that people come to me for help to resolve, whether it’s panic attacks during lessons, anxiety about the driving test or anxiety about driving after they have passed their test.
I remember when I first started lessons – I’d never been in the driving seat before and in control of (what seemed to me) a massive, powerful piece of metal! However that worry soon passed with practice and all went well during and beyond my test.
However, for others lessons can be an anxiety fuelled nightmare. Some clients dread their lessons and I have helped clients who suffered with panic attacks which meant they couldn’t even start the engine.
For others I have helped, they have passed their test and ‘know’ they can drive but they do all they can to avoid it – and the more they avoid it, the more their driving anxiety grows.
I’m very excited to confirm that, in a couple of weeks’ time, I’ll be heading into the recording studio to professionally record the audios for my upcoming product – Anxiety No More.
Following recent user testing, I now have all I need to produce these powerful anxiety busting audios that will help you eliminate your anxiety and start feeling calmer, more confident and in control of your thoughts and feelings.
Combined with a 40 page manual, there will be three MP3 audios – an introduction to anxiety, the anxiety no more hypnosis session and a bonus confidence boosting MP3.
If your anxiety levels are sky high right now then you will be able to feel those physical feelings in your body – maybe in your heart, your breathing or in your stomach. Or maybe you just feel ill at ease or a bit shaky. Your mind is probably working hard running all those anxiety inducing thoughts and scenarios.
If this is you then today I’ve provided you with a two step anxiety reducing process that you can start using right away. Persevere and practice and soon, whenever you chose, you’ll be able to ease your anxiety right down to a more comfortable level.
Do you dwell on events that have already happened and make yourself feel bad?
Maybe you play over the things that didn’t go so well or even start to imagine that maybe you said or did something wrong.
And as you replay all those not so great moments you can start to feel bad within yourself and about yourself. You may even project it forward and feel anxious about the next time you are in such a situation or around those same people.
If you are fed up of using your imagination to make you feel bad then do this:
According to a recent study, depression and anxiety could be inherited. According to the researchers, the brain function that underlies anxiety is inherited from your parents.
Some of the headlines seemed to suggest that people with anxiety should just shrug their shoulders, accept that they inherited their anxiety and wait for more research to lead to some pills they can take. After all, if anxiety is hereditary then what are you going to do about it? It’s just your lot.
However, reading beyond the headlines, the research does go on to indicate that there is plenty of room for experience and environment to have a say in whether you develop a full blown anxiety disorder. In fact, the research seems to suggest that only about a third of anxiety related tendancies could be explained by family history.
So it seems you can’t just go and point at your mother and father and say “it’s all your fault!”
Do you have trouble switching off at night and letting go of the day, when all you want to do is get to sleep and get some rest?
If you struggle with anxiety and stress, you may well struggle with sleep – it’s like in those quiet moments when you aren’t distracted and keeping yourself busy, your mind decides to run through all the things you’ve been feeling anxious and worried about. The more you think about them, the more agitated, frustrated and awake you become.
Recently, a pretty incredible number of people have been telling me that they now use my free rapid relaxation audio to get to sleep or help them get back to sleep if they wake up in the night.
Have you subscribed to the Bad News Daily?
Are you spending your day focussing on all the things that aren’t how you want them to be in your life – on all the worries, stresses and bad news in your life, other people’s lives and in the world?
When you feel anxious, it’s easy to focus on all the worries.
And the more you focus on them, the worse you feel. It becomes a self-feeding cycle and it may even feel like you have to find something to worry about.
I often work with teachers (trainee, primary and college) to help them take control over their anxiety and stress levels.
From what they tell me about the workload, assessments, constant changes, long hours and demands from all directions, it isn’t too hard to understand how all those demands and stresses can build up to breaking point.
In fact, a recent report by the University of Manchester’s Business School has gone as far as to name teaching as one of the top three most stressful occupations, with endemic levels of stress, anxiety and depression.
And I think it’s pretty unlikely that the culture of testing, constant change and the demands from policymakers, other staff and parents are likely to disappear anytime soon. As well as how bad stress and anxiety make you feel, that feeling you can’t cope can impact on your home life, sleep, confidence and health.
So what can be done about teacher stress and anxiety?
