Worrying, how to stop its negative effects in 60 seconds

Do you ever worry? Sometimes people just can’t help worrying. Have you noticed that the more you care about someone, some situation or project, the more you tend to worry about them if or in case things go wrong?

I remember my mother said to me a few times, ‘No-one can know the heart of a mother who worries about her children.’ I think she summarised it well. I wish I had the strategies when she was alive.

A client of mine recently came across a situation that she just couldn’t help worrying about. She is usually cheerful and positive. This time she did get herself all worked up and stressed out. If you knew her, you wouldn’t blame her. She is just a normal loving and caring parent like most of us.

Worrying can cause a lot of unnecessary stress. It can be counterproductive. It can do harm to your health. It can cause you to loose focus and concentration at work.

Worrying is a characteristic of the reasoning mind. ‘The mind that creates the problem cannot solve the problem.’ If you want to stop worrying fast, then reasoning with it is not the thing to do.

The worrying mind can however, within seconds, surrender to the power of the subconscious mind if you know how to work it.

So we bring you good news: you can do all the worrying you want without causing negative effects.

Here we introduce to you our ‘4-step Worriless Worrying’. It’s one of our specially formulated Ease Strategies that works powerfully with the subconscious mind.

Step 1 Picture a monkey scratching himself in a funny way; or picture two monkeys scratching each other. Try copying them. How do you feel?
Step 2 Think of some food that you once tried. Initially you didn’t think it was going to taste alright, but when you tried it and it turned out to be alright. What is that food? Was it quite alright?
Step 3 Self talk: ‘Where was I before? I was worrying. But I was also doing a monkey. And _____ (the food item) did turn out to be alright.’
Step 4 Repeat Step 1.

Possible questions and answers:
When do you need to do this?
Do this when you notice yourself worrying.

How often do you need to do this?
Every time you notice yourself worrying. After you are familiar with the whole process, Steps 1 and 2 will be sufficient.

Does this work?
It worked for the client I mentioned before. She laughed a fair bit and said she couldn’t wait for the next time she would get worried.

Can you explain in more detail why this works?
I can, and I do this in my upcoming book.

Does this solve the actual issue that causes worrying?
If worrying is chronic (habitual) for the person, the answer is yes. Otherwise, while this can lead the mind out of worrying and onto a different neurological pathway, the resolution of an issue is a different strategy and requires different steps.
