Technique for living a Peace filled life

I have been the anxiety king for most of my life.  This short process has helped remove anxiety and fill my life with peace and joy.

Positive thinking short version:

When you feel anxiety regarding anything, it is basically a fear of some future event not turning out as you would like.  The what if’s.

Solution: be grateful for what you have now and only think about what you want.

Here is how:  the grateful part is easy. Be thankful for where you are now.  Find the silver lining, the lessons learned, the fact you are still alive, for friends, basics of life, etc.  Ya ok, this can be harder than it sounds.  No, it is sometimes really hard, but it is a necessary step.  You can never get what you want until you are thankful for what you have.  It is a universal law, a fact of life, just like gravity.

What you want?  Exactly!  What do you want?  What does it look like, feel like, taste like, sound like.  Envision what you want like it is a picture or video with full color and sound, see what you see, hear what you hear, and feel what you feel.  How does that picture or video make you feel?  Absorb that feeling into your body, wrap up in it.

Now when any thought that is contrary to that image, video , feeling, etc comes to you, say “STOP” out loud or to yourself and instantly think of the picture or play the video.  Get inside that picture, video and/or feeling and see it, feel it, hear it.  Take a deep breath, breath it into your soul.  That is what you want, claim it! You deserve it.  It is yours. 

Feel better?

Repeat as necessary.

In the beginning, the process may take a few minutes.  After some practice, this process will be quick.

This process can be done for every area of your life where there is fear, depression, conflict, anything.
