Is There An Anxiety Solution For Those Who Fail To Keep Their Resolutions?
By Charles Linden
In a nutshell... YES!
I’ve given a lot of thought recently to the power of
‘resolutions’ – to that basic human instinct that
continually drives us to improve ourselves and to expand
our horizons.
Perhaps you’re reading this now and resolving to finally
conquer your anxiety?
The trouble with resolutions, however, is sticking to
them! All too often, within weeks, they’ve fallen by the
wayside. Why is that? Why do we all struggle so much to
maintain our resolve?
To my mind, ‘resolve’ and ‘resolution’ are in themselves
anxiety-inducing words! What do I mean…? Well, just
consider the word RESOLVE. It resounds with a sense of
determination… demanding immense effort. It also calls
upon you to SOLVE something… to remedy a problem…
to seek out that elusive ‘Holy Grail’ alone.
And don’t we ALL have some aspect of our life that
needs a ‘solution’? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US! It comes
with living life to the full! RESOLUTIONS require us to
take a long hard look at our lives. They demand we show
an honest recognition of the need for change… and often
this can be the hardest part of any new resolution.
Little wonder, then, that resolutions fill us with
trepidation! Suddenly, we have to face up to a PROBLEM
or a CHALLENGE. Then we have to decide on a course of
action for CHANGE. Then we have to find the SOLUTION.
And through it all, we have to maintain our RESOLVE.
Pretty daunting! Especially for those of us with personal
experience of the debilitating affects of anxiety.
So let me try to make it a little bit easier for you!
Just be kind to yourself. Give yourself a break and
understand that you can’t solve everything… and
certainly not at once. You have to take that pressure off
yourself. Don’t take too much on and try to implement
lots of changes… this would be scary even to non-
anxiety sufferers!
Oh, and don’t worry about all the ‘detail’ - the weight
loss… the job application process… the dating game… the
college course… the house move. Don’t be side-tracked
by them… And certainly don’t beat yourself up if these
changes don’t happen all at once! Remember, it’s early
days!
I remember when I was anxious and I felt that every
aspect of my life was wrong. I just wanted to change
everything at once… to be a totally different person living
a totally different life. But it felt like I was asking for the
impossible, I felt beaten before I’d even begun to make
a single change. There was just too much to deal with at
once.
Well, I found that the simple SOLUTION is to make just
ONE RESOLUTION. And when you live with anxiety, there
is only ONE RESOLUTION you should be making – only
ONE RESOLUTION which will magic away all the ‘detail’,
which will bring about all the ‘changes’ you want in your
life. And that ONE RESOLUTION is…
I AM GOING TO BE ANXIETY FREE TODAY… AND FOR THE
REST OF MY LIFE
I know what you’re thinking…. That’s easy for you to say!
Well, YES it is! But, what have you got to lose?
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING - except your anxiety!
The rest of your life is all there for the taking… but as
with all resolutions, you have to be prepared to make
that choice for change, that RESOLUTION, to face up to
and resolve the anxiety.
