Stop Worrying So Much By Using Brainwave Entrainment

Why do you worry so much?

Worry is a nag. It works hard to make you feel uneasy and troubled. It harasses you until you are weighted down with distress.

And most of the time, it's totally useless.

It only hurts you.

Unrelenting fears and doubts paralyze you, suck the very life out of you, all of which have no redeeming value in your life.

Signs Worrying Is Getting The Best Of You

You can't stop thinking about what appears to be a problem, causing you great anxiety.Your mind goes over and over every detail, trying to find a solution.You worry on top of worry, that you'll overlook an answer.You think if you keep going over it, whatever it is you are worried about, won't be so frightening.Your mind plays a game of what if? with you...changing the facts and the scenario.Worrying releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline in excess.Stress hormones flood the body and start changing your well-being.You start eating for comfort to take away some of the worry. Unfortunately, you will be eating foods high in carbohydrates and will throw your blood sugars off. You'll be hungry no matter how much you eat. The more worried you are, the more you may eat.Anxious thoughts are fueled by what you believe to be true, not necessarily by what is true.You see no solution to the trigger of your worry.You feel that worrying protects you, so it perpetuates itself, over and over again.You may get irritable with others because they can't see why it's important for you to keep thinking things out.You may become impatient for the outcome.Worrying affects your sleep. You'll either be sleeping too much or not at all.You may use worry as a reason to be irresponsible with other areas of your life. You're just too busy worrying to do what you need to do like be in a relationship or take care of your bills.Your stomach acts up and if you already have something like irritable bowel syndrome, it will feel worse when you are in a state of worry.You'll feel out of control, unless you are worrying. You may feel that if you don't worry, something even worse than the problem, will happen.You may experience depression because you can't see your way through the problem.You spend too much time in your head.

You've got to stop worrying, you know that, but focusing on the fact that you need to stop worrying, only reinforces your anxious thoughts.

Brainwave entrainment can release you from your stuck thought patterns, by changing your brainwave frequency. Once out of that frequency, your mind will be better able to process your worry, from a different perspective, and the anxiety about it will diminish. From this new place, you will be better able to come up with solutions. You will be able to ask yourself if there is anything you can do to solve your problem, and if there isn't, come to accept it and detach.

If there is a solution, you'll come up with one.

If the problem is bogus, you'll see that too.

You don't have to worry so much about things. Most of what you worry about isn't even real.

Worrying makes you old.

Stop worrying so much.

Steps To Reduce Your Stress Levels - Be Responsible

The majority of us are aware of the fact that being under stress over prolonged periods can be quite detrimental to our health. Many of us will know of someone who has suffered a heart attack or suffers with panic bought about by anxiety which are all symptoms of stress, as well as a multitude of other health issues. However, even though we're aware of how dangerous to our health stress can actually be, we still appear to embrace it as though we can't live without huge amounts of it in our lives. To 'Be Responsible' is what I consider to be the first step in reducing our stress levels. Not only that but I believe that being responsible is also the first step to overcoming all past issues.

Writing this in words gives the appearance that I make it sound so easy, however my belief is quite the opposite. What we are responsible for is how we felt at that time and how we chose to deal with the situation. To suddenly accept that you are responsible for how you dealt with all of the misfortunate events from your past and upto your present is an extremely bitter pill to swallow, and the reason why is because of the amount of emphasis that we give to the problem being down to someone or something else. I must clarify at this point that most unfortunate events could not happen in our lives had we not made the decision to be in the situation in the first place, regardless of what it is we're confronted with. However some unfortunate events like loss of a relative or loved one through death, though we have no control over the event we do have control over how we feel about it. The act of giving responsibility itself is like a form of self-hypnosis and I'll use relationships as an example: more often than not many of us enter a relationship because we need someone to make us feel better about ourselves, so we submit the responsibility to the next good thing to come along. Whether it's just someone to have around, a compliment for the way we dress or the things we do, a cuddle when we feel down or if it's someone to listen to the misfortunes we've experienced in our day, we build our relationships based on what we can get from them as opposed to what we can give.

The problem arises when we feel we are no longer getting what we want from our relationships and this is the point at which being responsible is clearly on the back seat. It's highly unlikely that when we feel let down by our relationships, we are looking at our own actions, more likely looking at our partners. Because we place so much emphasis on what we're getting, the moment we believe we're not getting, which more often than not is not getting enough rather than not getting at all, we begin to look for reasons to support our belief of not getting which often materialises as fault finding and nit-picking. Before we know it we're engaging in full blown rows with our partners or not speaking at all which can last for hours, even days, without even considering the amount of stress we're surrounding ourselves with and the fact that it could all be over in a flash had we been able to take responsibility for ourselves and the situation.

I refer to self-hypnosis because we kind of hypnotise ourselves to only see them as the problem and ultimately them as the solution. With this self-hypnosis comes the inability to see ourselves as the problem. The bottom line is if someone does something that we don't like then it's not a matter of them doing it wrong, more a matter of it not being to our liking. At this point we should think about our own actions with regard to what we must do to re-dress the balance and make ourselves feel better in that moment. What we often tend to do is attempt to make our partners recognise the fact that we're not happy and it's them that must do something to change that. In reality I don't think that many of us deep down want to believe that we are doing anything wrong and the act of self-hypnosis leads us to believe that everything we do is right, therefore there is no need to look at our own actions.

Many of us will have seen people getting hypnotised at functions or shows and the effects of the hypnosis is the subject being unable to carry out certain obvious tasks or they do things they believe to be normal, when the rest of us can clearly see that they are not. In reality the hypnotist is just a guide and the subjects actually hypnotise themselves. Taking this into account, the idea of hypnotising ourselves to not see our own actions seems more than just a possibility, and to suddenly have the ability to look at our own actions with a view of taking responsibility requires a lot of will power.

To take responsibility is not to take the blame for the failing relationship but to take responsibility for how we feel about it. If we take this on board then we realise the last thing we want to do is assist in creating an environment that increases stress levels and instead try to reduce them. This is something we have complete control over if we choose it, whereas giving someone else the responsibility means we have no control and if we have no control then we are at their mercy. Now we begin to see how unresolved issues of the past become a burden on our minds. We carry the burden in the hope that who or whatever we hold responsible will eventually free us from our load and make us feel better. To decide to take responsibility is the first step and taking responsibility gives our lives a whole new perspective. Since we've hypnotised ourselves to not take responsibility, then we must de-hypnotise ourselves by restoring the belief that we are responsible. When we begin to believe and see that we are responsible we naturally begin to put steps into place to ensure that we only get the best for ourselves secondly, though firstly we must try to give the best of ourselves because in truth, how many of us believe we should be getting the best if we're incapable of giving it?

On the other hand, if we find ourselves on the receiving end and are being blamed for problems arising, knowing that we are responsible is to know that we have a choice whether to feel angry or not. Getting angry is another way of saying "It's not my fault. I don't have to stand for this!", which is the beginning of the fall-out and the point that both people in the relationship begin airing their stresses, each expecting the other to relieve them from their stress. When the arguments begin, each person in the relationship has made the decision to be stressed rather than to relieve it.

When we take responsibility as being the first major step towards reducing stress levels, each time we have a thought of past events that we'd previously relinquished responsibility of, we begin attaching the thought that we are responsible for how we felt and in knowing this, the burden begins to get lighter and we begin to think of the past as less of an issue. I believe the most important thing we must learn from our past is how we felt emotionally about events followed by how we chose to deal with them. In remembering how we felt, we then recognise the situations that surround our present and set about trying to resolve issues that increase stress levels as quickly as possible, simply by being aware of how we felt about them in the past.

Shape Your Life Up: Tell Yourself the (Desired) Truth!

Ack!! Your computer is acting up-again-and despite hitting "escape" and every other "get-me-outta-here" key you can think of, you're in frozen hell. "I hate this computer!" you mutter. Your co-worker glances over at you, "That's what you always say. Maybe you should try talking pretty to it." You snort, "Right! And the computer can hear me and will suddenly unlock itself. I'll bet you still believe in Santa Claus." Your co-worker shrugs: "Works for me."

You grumble and groan, finally give up and shut your computer off, knowing you'll lose the last three pages you so meticulously labored over. Later, on your way home, you decide to stop off at the market. "Not that I'll be able to find a good parking spot" you mumble, "Not in this rain." Five complete rounds of the parking lot later, you jam your car into a too-small space all the way at the far end, under a tree you're certain will drop sticky goo all over the car, and trudge into the market. Wet. You left your umbrella at home. "Figures," you snarl.

Sure enough, there are a couple of sticky goo blobs on the windshield, you wrestle your dripping bags into the car and bang your knee as you sidle into your seat. By the time you get home, you're not fit company for anyone. Not even your cat, much less your spouse and kids.

What happened here? Is your life destined to be no more than a series of irritating events? Well, maybe yes and maybe no. It all depends on what you're willing to tell yourself about whatever is going on. Because whatever you tell yourself is what will shape your perception, and perception is what determines action.

Before you say "I have no idea what you're talking about" and hit delete, read on just a little further. It will all become clear.

Minds are funny things. They respond to suggestion, which is actually direction. When you say "I hate my computer!" your mind looks for things to hate about your computer. When you say "I won't be able to find a good parking spot," your mind rushes to obey. It does that by focusing your attention on those things that will fulfill your own prophecy.

With your computer, it doesn't occur to you to ask Mike down the hall, generally thought of as pretty computer-savvy, for his help because your attention is locked (just like your computer) on "hit a key and get out of this." At the parking lot, your attention is fixated on "won't find a parking place" so you don't see the customer slip into her car, ready to exit. You forgot your umbrella because you repeatedly say to yourself "I always forget my umbrella," which your mind promptly acknowledged by focusing your attention on locating your keys and away from the umbrella stand as you headed out the door.

Your mind is, at all times, a willing servant. All you need to do is give it different direction.

Say to yourself, "Things always work out well for me" and deliberately focus your attention on what is working out well for you. Your mind will get the hint after a while, and start looking for how things are working out well for you. Over time, you will see more and more ways in which things are working out well for you, and they will work out well for you much more of the time. You've changed what you are able to perceive in what's around you.

Say to yourself, "My computer is great" and make the effort to think of the many ways in which you enjoy your computer. Sure enough, your mind will catch the drift and you'll soon find you have thoughts that support your enjoyment of your computer: like thinking of Mike next time your computer crashes. "I always find the perfect parking spot for me," repeated with genuine enthusiasm will orient your mind to perceiving opportunities for good parking spots.

The key to working with your mind is to talk to yourself genuinely, believing that what you are telling yourself will soon be true, just like when you said "I hate my computer" you said it with gusto, totally believing you did hate your computer.

Train yourself to talk differently, positively, to yourself, and you'll be amazed at just how quickly your mind responds, and how your experience of your life shifts into a much happier, more successful place.
