Anne's November one-to-ones plus programme bundle
to beat morning anxiety or anxious thinking loops
It's my birthday in November! Celebrate with me by dissolving anxious thinking loops or banishing morning anxiety!
My Birthday just happens to be on the 7th November, and there are also seven weeks left until we break for Christmas. So, to celebrate my favourite number seven, I've made space in my diary for seven one-to-one bundles consisting each of three 50-minute one-to-one sessions with me, plus, one short self-access programme to help you banish either anxious thinking loops or morning anxiety, so you never need worry about them again!
The programme is yours to keep for ever, to go back to whenever you need it, and you get three dedicated one-to-one sessions with me to fine-tune it specifically for you.
Anxious thinking loops and morning anxiety are two of the most devastating forms of anxiety to have to deal with. They can ruin our day and play havoc with work, family, and relationships. Let's get to grips with them once and for all!
Look at anxious thinking loops below, and scroll on further down if morning anxiety is your enemy!
If you can't break free of anxious thinking loops...
- Your thoughts spiral out of control
- You know it's not rational but you can't do anything about it
- The anxiety hits, whenever the thoughts start
- The more you think, the worse it gets
- You're groping for clarity but you can't escape the doom and gloom
- You muddle through, but with feelings of worry and dread
- You feel helpless, miserable, and constantly anxious
- You start blaming yourself for your own anxious thinking loops
- Even when the worst does not happen, you think it's going to, every time.
... I have something for you.
Breaking free from anxious thinking requires strategy and easy, practical things to do, for both our rational and unconscious minds. In this one-to-one and programme bundle, you discover how to spot, interrupt, and dissolve the anxious thinking loops that keep you miserable, fearful, and feeling helpless inside.
You find out how to
- slow down your racing thoughts
- see things clearly for what they are
- feel confident in your assessment of a situation
- make the decisions that are right for you or the situation
- take clear, decisive action
- and practise all this with me in your one-to-one sessions
The cost of being overwhelmed by anxious thinking loops
Anxious thinking loops make us feel frustrated and helpless. They play havoc with our emotional responses, distort how we see events and situations, and sabotage our decision-making.
Can you relate to any of these? They can happen on their own or at the same time.
- Our natural negative bias - we are so focused on the risk, we get obsessed with the possible danger, and can’t see a way out, or plan successfully for a good outcome.
- Generalising - our brains naturally make short cuts all the time, so if something bad (or good) happens once, we persuade ourselves that it will always happen that way. This prevents us from assessing situations clearly, seeing the options, and making the right decisions.
- Catastrophising - our imagination leads us straight to the worst possible scenarios, and we can’t break free to imagine more realistic or successful outcomes. This stops us effectively from planning successful outcomes, and can be hugely distressing.
- Black and white thinking - we can only imagine one very particular, successful outcome, and anything else feels wrong. We exclude all other ways of achieving success, except for our ideal way. This drastically narrows our options, and makes us feel helpless. It also means that if the ideal (white) outcome does not happen, then we dive straight into catastrophising (black thinking).
- Labelling - we label ourselves or others, as ‘hardworking’, or ‘lazy’, ‘courageous’, or ‘fearful’, ‘intelligent’, or ‘dim’. Labels restrict us and don’t allow us (or anyone else) to grow or change. They keep us trapped.
- Personalising - we take everything personally, we imagine it’s all our fault, or it’s all about us. This prevents us from seeing what is really going on and puts us under terrible mental pressure, and emotional distress.
Being dragged into anxious thinking loops feels awful, hijacks our emotions, clouds our rational thinking, and impacts our decision-making. It can prevent us from taking action, even when we know (theoretically) the right thing to do.
If morning anxiety gets your day off to the wrong start...
It's not your fault. Morning anxiety can be a huge problem for many people, and can severely impact their daily life. In fact, almost all of us have experienced some form of morning anxiety at some stage in our life. It can get to the point, however, where it makes it almost impossible to start the day with any kind of confidence or clarity.
The key symptom of morning anxiety is feeling a sense of severe dread or unease upon waking up, or within a second or two after waking. This may manifest as a general feeling of acute anxiety or specific worries about the day ahead. Often this dread has no rational explanation.
Morning anxiety is often accompanied by a crushing sense of overwhelm, that things are too much, too fast, and too difficult. This makes it paralysingly difficult to make choices or decisions, or even to perform everyday morning tasks.
Accompanying symptoms include physical discomfort, such as a racing heart, sweaty palms, extreme tension, or a knot in the stomach. There may also be a feeling of dizziness or nausea. These physical symptoms can be distressing and contribute to the overall feeling of anxiety.
It's not your fault.
None of this is your fault! We can feel real shame at not being able to 'cope'. "Why can't I just get up like everyone else?" "Why is this happening to me?" "Is there something wrong with me?"
Morning anxiety is your brain in unconscious mode, trying to keep you safe, but feeling unsafe and unable to face the day. It won't respond to rational thought or willpower, but it is trying to look after you. Morning anxiety is about feeling unsafe, and that is definitely not your fault!
There is good news! Fortunately, there are many effective techniques we can use to make our brains in unconscious mode feel safe, confident, and happy to get on with the day. They work for everyone, no matter how long you have been suffering.
Here's what you get in this programme:
Five videos, five exercises
Discover how to
- anchor yourself securely for the day in a few minutes
