Breaking the Worry Habit - A Simple Exercisehttp://johnseiferth.com
Day 21 of the 39 Day Challenge. Conquering worry.
Ever since I was a little kid, I've been a worrier. My Mom used to say that I would worry about everything, even stuff not about me.
The fact is that I've carried that forward into my adult life as well. I have actually become adicted to worry. I could not find a way to get out of the worry habit.
Until I spoke to my personal coach about it. And what he told me and the simple exercise he gave me has changed my life.
He gave me these four steps that will help to break me of the habit of worry:
1) Recognize and admit that you are doing it to yourself when it is happening
2) Breathe. Simply take a deep breath. Allow your body to become still.
3) Go back to sensation - touch, taste, smell, etc. Feel your arms on your chair, your hands on the steering wheel, or smell some incense, essential oil or perfume. Allow your mind to become present with your surroundings.
4) Reconnect with the divine. Regain your connection to your true self, your genius, your higher being.
By following these steps, you will actually reconnect the neural pathways in your brain to form an entirely new habit and at the same time break the old one.
A truly powerful, yet simple exercise that has taken me out of the paralyzed state of worry and into a free state of possibility.
