Without Anxiety The Human Race Would Have Disappeared Long Ago
As much pain and suffering that sensitive people go through because of worry and anxiety, these are traits that have actually saved humanity’s collective butt since time immemorial. What do I mean? Well, first of all you have to understand that anxiety is a thought process. It is NOT a mental disease. When you are anxious, you are thinking about what? What’s great? What’s wonderful? How everything is going to turn out better than you can possibly imagine? NOPE! You are imagining the worst case scenario.

I got a very thoughtful comment from one of my readers in response to my Brainwashing vs. Influence article that warranted a full post in reply. “Your article really hit a nerve, since my wife and i were talking about my parents recently. my dad retired 6 years ago, and my mom retired last august. and now they sit around the house, watch way too much Fox news, and complain about the world. It’s sad. We used to get together and have a lot more fun. Now… it’s different.

Stop Anxiety and Panic Attacks
In order to stop anxiety and panic attacks you have to consider what anxiety and panic really are and what they are not. Anxiety is NOT a mental illness. Anxiety is a normal human process of thinking about what you do not want to have happen. It's "worst case scenario thinking" at it's worst. Your Unconscious Mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined. Imagine the worst, and your subconscious reacts with all the same fight of flight bio chemistry as if the horrible future scenarios are real.

The Question No One Asks a Hypnotherapist or NLP Practitioner
Sometimes finding the right hypnotist or NLP practitioner to work with can be a challenge. While I was having breakfast this morning, I was thinking a bit about the different talents and life experiences of people who are drawn into any field or career not just the field of hypnotherapy or NLP. There are those who take a career path because they "decide" while others take a career path because they are "called."

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Mark Shepard
Why does it work out better than you can possibly imagine?
Asking how and why questions as a fast way to "program" your unconscious mind is a powerful technique I first learned from author Noah St. John. He calls them "afformations" (as opposed to "affirmations")
Your unconscious mind can not help but begin to gather evidence to answer your questions. It's part of the "defualt" software program we're all born with.
It's also a perfect example of how our language affects our reality. Many people walk around asking themselves lousy questions that presuppose that life is lousy and that they are lousy too.
Stop!
How can you begin to get in the habit of asking yourself empowering how and why questions?
Since I'm a songwriter all of this Modern Jedi Mind Mastery ends up in my music which then gets stuck in your head in a good way to gently effect change.
Why DOES it work out better than you can possibly imagine?
