''Design your destiny...''

‘Your vision will become
clear only when you look into your heart ... Who looks outside, dreams. Who looks inside, awakens.’
— Carl Gustav Jung
DO you struggle with Anxiety,Phobia's,or
low Self Esteem?....
IF SO....
I believe we are all in charge of our own destiny.
However,...
the following emotional complaints can and do hold you back, IF you have not found strategies to help deal with them !
Anxiety is a hard to pinpoint 'worry/uncertainty/nervousness', it is actually concerning
the future (at an unconscious level) & focusing on what you don't want to have or happen.It is
very cunning and produces an array of unpleasant physical symptoms that we feel NOW... It is important to
realise it is created by the imagination,and when understood,begins to lose its power!
Anxiety can be confused
with fear which is when, in the past, we have actually experienced being afraid/frightened by something and
the experience taught us to fear it.
Fear is not exactly pleasant by nature and it is natural to want to
avoid it,however,when fear is understood...it loses its power!
The two are often confused and described as the
'fear of fear'.
Anxiety=future... but can be felt now.
Fear=Past event,...(learnt) but
can be felt now.
The common thread with these two are, both involve using your own imagination
to a) recall a past fearful event or b) project into the future to an an event that makes you feel nervous actually now.
Could I suggest accepting fear as fear, and anxiety as anxiety ?..I think its of great importance to create the
distinction in something that 'feels' similar if not the same!
Its not surprising it all gets a bit confusing
though, to have a thought takes 300 milliseconds! *
Limiting beliefs/decisions
-which are 'rules' we unconsciously put on ourselves (I can't do that,I'm not good enough,etc).
&
Negative emotions such as anger,sadness,fear,hurt,and guilt,that all humans beings have experienced, and
over time can add up to emotional 'baggage'.
All of the above especially if they were/are inapproriate can
stop us moving on in life, and can create difficulty achieving what we really want to achieve.
Would it not be liberating to be released from all the inappropriate negative emotions from the past, and start anew,I think
it would, would you not agree?
Here is a little insight,...
The unconscious mind does not know the
difference between imagination and reality, thats why if you are phobic of spiders for example, you can, just
by thinking of them, begin to experience the symptoms of a real threat (Fear, & frightening 'feelings', caused
by stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system, that produce chemicals associated in the 'fight or flight'
response).
We can then develop avoidance strategies that just reinforce the perception that "If I avoid that
thing/place/situation, then I won't feel faint/strange/scared".This may very well work in the short term until...avoided
enough..it becomes part of our 'reality' and hey presto;..one ingrained spider phobia.
The answer
lies in how we 'imagine' what we do and in turn how that can effect our behaviour.
Someone who isn't
afraid of spiders 'see's' inside their mind a picture differently to some one who flee's from them,the
good news is,using the capability of being able to use our imagination,we can also change a picture/thought/feeling
towards the spider thus negating the debilitating original reaction to it.
You know how you can get nervous thinking
about an up and coming exam,flying,meeting,the future in general,well thats your imagination creating your own personal
perception of fear of an event that hasn't even yet happened! Think about it,.. Thats a good vivid imagination you have
there!!
Anxiety can help you to get into action,to get motivated, but so can being excited..which would you
prefer?
Well, what I do is utilise your gifted imagination to assist YOU for a change, and in so doing
'create' a different future.
You have created your present, you can also create your future.

People can
be afraid of using hypnosis for example, in case they lose control.In fact you are always in control,you will not in
any way do something under hypnosis that goes against your own moral code of values.You are not asleep,under a 'mind
control spell', but merely in a peaceful state, likened to daydreaming.
