The A+ Formula For Mastering Any Emotion, Problem, Conflict or Anxiety
1. Acceptance
2. Awareness
3. Analysis
4. Action
5. Appreciation
1. ACCEPTANCE
Accept the situation as an opportunity to learn and grow. Acceptance puts you in charge and transforms problems into opportunities.
"I accept this experience as an opportunity to grow and to deepen my spiritual life."
2. AWARENESS
Practice active awareness. Breathe in serenity and confidence. Detach from the problem and from your habitual reactions (such as denial, panic, hopelessness, addictive behaviors, etc.). Compassionately observe your thoughts and feelings. Simply observe and notice without trying to "figure things out."
"I compassionately observe my experience."
3. ANALYSIS
Now use your clearest and highest thinking to analyze the situation. Get more information and assistance if needed. Untangle the strands of Toxic, Natural and Sacred Anxiety (see link below). Develop a "next step" strategy.
"I choose to tell myself the highest truth about my situation."
4. ACTION
Do it! Put your awareness into action and take your next step — such as self-calming, emotional healing, taking a step toward a goal or letting go of what you cannot control.
"I now transform the energy of anxiety into creative action that is goal-achieving as well as anxiety-relieving."
5. APPRECIATION
Review what you have learned. Appreciate who you are and what you have done. Choose an attitude of gratitude as you notice all the blessings in your life.
"I love and accept myself and appreciate this wonderful gift of life."
