The Secret to Untangling Anxiety’s Knot
We act impulsively or become paralyzed because our anxiety is tangled up and results in physical tension and mental confusion. We become free by identifying, untangling and responding to each strand appropriately and effectively.
TOXIC: Distracts you from reality with old negative "tapes" that say things like "Nothing ever works out for me," "I can’t handle this," and "Something bad is going to happen." Toxic Anxiety can be released, or transformed into emotional and spiritual healing.
Key phrase: "Become aware."
NATURAL: Warns you of real dangers, alerts you to opportunities and energizes you to meet challenges. Natural Anxiety is part of life. Accept it and transform it into the positive energy and enthusiasm that can be harnessed to meet your goals.
Key phrase: "Do it."
SACRED: Calls you to become aware of your deeper spiritual life and the great questions of meaning and purpose. Concerns your identity, the meaning of life, the reality of death, and situations beyond your control.
Key phrase: "Let go."
