Crush Anxiety with Laughter Yoga

November 21, 2008 By Mark Shepard

One of the challenges with anxiety or depression or any other stuck state is to find a way to break out of the neurological pattern or “Program”.

NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming ) is all about “pattern interrupts” which give us behavioral choices. Change your physiology and it changes your internal world. change your internal world and it changes your physiology. The mind and the body are totally linked. We also have a choice of what to focus on and what to do in response to any external situation.

A friend of mine, Melanie Rudolph has recently introduced me to a growing movement cal

led Laughter Yoga which fits right in to the idea of change your physiology and your behavior and it changes your reality and experience of the world. (key NLP concepts BTW)

h whatever you need to blast through to stay balanced and focused on joy. Talk about CRUSHING anxiety!

Managing Anxiety & Stress During the World Financial Crisis – Teleseminar recorded 10/27/08

October 27, 2008 By Mark Shepard

On Monday, October 27th, I had the privilege of teaching some of my NLP Anxiety Techniques to an international group of certified coaches on a teleseminar. The purpose of the call was to provide some fast and easy to use tools for the coaches to use with their clients in order to provide support and assistance in the face of what appears to be a deepening and widening “Global Financial Crisis”. It is as if the whole world is starting to panic and get anxious, worried, stressed out. I was asked by facilitator Mary Gorham to provide tools that the coaches could use with their clients as well as with themselves.

Interestingly enough, by the time I was done leading the participants through some of my favorite NLP anxiety stopping techniques, I personally felt just fantastic. Proof that what’s good for the NLP student is good for the NLP trainer!

Here are a few things you can do right now to keep anxiety at bay.

Please do your self the favor of limiting your exposure to bad news.
Remember to breathe
Roll your eyes slowly clockwise, then counter clockwise (listen to the call to find out why)
Listen to the call to learn several others

For best results go ahead and do the exercises along with the program.

Here is the recording of the call.

NLP Solution For Anxious Voters

October 20, 2008 By Mark Shepard

As I went to check my e-mail on Yahoo.com today I noticed this headline. “Voters say anxiety increasing” Since helping people overcome anxiety with NLP, hypnosis, Time Line Therapy and EFT is a major part of my one on one practice, it got my attention.

Now normally I advise my clients to stop watching or listening to the news because it bombards your unconscious mind with a constant stream of negative, anxiety provoking, panic attack inducing input.

Anxiety is created by vividly imagining (consciously or unconsciously) the worst possible scenario. Your unconscious mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined so it creates all the same fight or flight chemicals in your body as if it was real. That’s the mind body connection.

Those of us who suffer from anxiety are especially vulnerable to the negative news because we have powerful and vivid imaginations. So if you take into account the huge amount of bad news to come out of the financial markets in the last few weeks before the upcoming presidential election, it adds up to a massive voter anxiety attack.

So, even though I follow my own advice and avoid actively watching or listening to the news, the fear is all around us: The economy is in trouble. What’s going to happen? Is it the end of the world as we know it? Will there be mass hysteria? What is the collective power of millions of anxious minds focusing on the worst possible scenario or negative outcome?

There is so much fear surrounding all of us right now that you can not help but be aware of it.

All that being said, what can you do right now to lower your own anxiety or to help the people you love who may be suffering from anxiety?

Here are a couple of links to some NLP techniques you can access for free that might be of help:

How To Stop Anxiety In 10 Minutes or Less Without Drugs or Endless Therapy

How To Change Limiting Beliefs With NLP

My suggestion for today is to visit the links above, watch the videos and actually put the NLP techniques into practice. Right away. Once you lower your anxiety you can then install a new belief or “program” that there is more than enough, that you are okay, that you can even thrive and prosper in these exciting times.

Please comment below and let me know if this was helpful for you.
