Anxiety and what happens when it is over?

Anxiety - is it a nice feeling? Who likes to be anxious? Who can honestly say that he or she had never felt this stricken feeling of anxiety? Who likes to feel anxious, getting up in the morning and says - yeah, today is a great day, let me feel a bit of anxiety?

I hated it - the feeling that gripped my stomach, strangled my throat and made my knees shake. Argh, how bad it was, sometimes. Sitting at the table, and knowing that I have to get up in 5 minutes, just after that speaker, than 4, than 3, 2 and my turn.

Standing in front of an expecting audience, shaken, since it really is the normal person's most feared situation. They look at you and you look back. Okay, there is the zone in public speaking, but getting there can be a toughy.

I wasn't excluded from that feeling, for long time and it still haunts me. I realised it again, when I was in Australia, to complete my NLP training. Standing there, silently, in front of the group, as small as it was, and something creeped up in my knees.

I got over with it, because actually, anxiety is fear of a future event. Something that is in front of you, looming, and one doesn't know how to get over with it. But I travelled in time (unconsciously), 15 minutes past the event that made me anxious, I turned and then looked back. In that position, there was no fear, no anxiety, just jubilation and a great feeling, because I foresaw that I would be successful in my graduation.

Can you imagine that? Time travelling, really, being on top of your timeline and floating out into the future - it is possible. But you may ask, how is it possible?

Well, the unconscious mind doesn't know that I wasn't actually there. So it was active imagination that brought me behind the future event (my NLP graduation, in this case). And everybody can actually do that, you know! Easily and effortlessly

The overall concept of this is the timeline therapy (TM) techniques (developed by Tad James) approach, which also helps to eliminate limited decisions and negative emotions that happened in the past. Yeah, you read correctly. Stuff that happened in the past. Another journey on my own individual timeline.

In this regard, you just let your unconscious mind floooooooaaaaaaat back into the past, release the stuff that you don't like but capture the learning at the first and subsequent events.

Okay, the process is a bit more detailed in practice, but it doesn't t long, really! And it is beautiful to float.

How do you know if you carry such stuff as package through your life? Such limited decision and negative emotions? As a simple rule, you can ask yourself if you sometimes feel angry, fear, guilt and other stuff like that, suddenly and without major forewarnings?

Anyway, do I miss my anxiety? Not a single second. I rather prefer it being changed to anticipation or expectation. How about you? How is living with anxiety on your side? This doesn't mean that I will never be angry or fearful again, because sometimes, it is good to feel that. The thing is that you don't need to hold on to it for long (e.g.; think of long lasting separations where the mourning goes on and on and on....), because negative emotions are useless emotions that just destroy your body. Something you actually don't need!

So tell me about your negative emotions and limited decisions, or anxiety of the future?
