1. Recognize Your Stop Sign!
Whenever you feel like you are going to get on your emotional fear rollercoaster the first thing to do is STOP what you are doing right away. In fact, say, “STOP” out loud to jolt your brain to change the forward pulse of negativity. This step alone is probably the best step you could master. Fearful thoughts have a life and power of their own and when left to their own devises can create chaos.
2. Breathe!
You have probably heard this a million times but it is so important to breathe. When you breathe is helps to improve and maintain your health. The main focus is to get fresh air into your lungs which is critical for fear and anxiety management. A simple breathing exercise is to take a breath through your nose for the count of 4, then hold for the count of 5 and then let go gently through the mouth for the count of 6.
3. Wake Up On The Right Side Of The Bed!
When you wake up in the mornings think about all the wonderful and good things in your life. When you focus on the positive thoughts you will exterminate the negative. Your fear will not have the time or attention to grow. Cheerful and motivating thoughts of how you wish your day to proceed will start your day off with a powerful smile.
4. Know You Are Not Crazy!
Did you know that anxiety is a normal emotion and you can control it? Anxiety can be very fearful and create pain and stagnation in your life. Know that anxiety is not to be feared and these feelings will go away. By relaxing and distracting your fearful thoughts with positive thoughts the fear will pass.
5. Experience Your Great Life!
Listen to what you think about and control your thoughts. Negative thoughts can grow and overcome your mind while powerfully increasing your anxiety. Have self-discipline and control over your feelings as they can strengthen you and your fear will be wiped out. Now that there are so many great things about you… You are strong, you have many talents, and you are very loving and confident. You are positive and radiate good, pure energy. You love life and are happy to be alive!
6. Block Out The Negative – Nothing Gets In Your Way!
Stay focused on your strength, enthusiasm and positive energy. They are greater than any problem that might come your way. Know that challenging fear based problems are just wonderful opportunities to grow. Say to yourself “I am positive and I like myself. I am working towards making myself stronger. I accept who I am at this moment, this day, this week. I will feel stronger tomorrow and even stronger in six months.”
7. Keep Busy!
Keeping busy will keep your mind off any fear and anxiety you might have. Exercise, yoga, reading, playing, hiking, swimming, dancing – anything to occupy you and your mind. If you allow yourself to sit and wallow in fear you will only breed negativity. These negative thoughts will grow and not go away. Set positive physical goals that you can achieve everyday. When you accomplish your goals you will feel more positive about yourself and your thoughts will create an entirely different meaning. Exercise is a great release of negative energy and it is a fabulous way to keep your fears from consuming you.

Choose healthy activities that will brighten your spirits and make you giggle. Meditation is also a great way to feel calm, clear your mind and allow for positive thoughts to drift in and out. By chilling out and laughing you will not only feel relaxed but feel present with your body, mind and spirit.
