Getting going with a New Future

So I now had managed to begin to get over my panic and anxiety attacks with the help of the free overcoming anxiety and panic mini course and the insight which I had gathered from the self help anxiety book which comes bundled with the most amazing guided relaxation and anchoring mental exercise.

I had also begun to put my life in perspective by applying the Kaizen Principle and the insights which it had given me to my own life. I now felt I was ready to start looking for ways to let my writing ability start to make money for me online.

I had a look around and found a couple of sites where I was able to start making money by making writing copy write articles for other people online, it was small but it was a start. As the money began to come in I realized that there must be a need for these types of articles, otherwise why would these people be willing to pay me to write articles about anything from Christmas to the Jerusalem Stone.

I decided to take a bit of a deeper look into why they would be willing to do this. Soon I found out that the articles which I was writing formed part of other peoples Internet Marketing strategies. It made up the content for their sites which helped them to gain recognition from search engines like Google.

This made me begin to think of ways in which I could begin to use this method to write and make money for myself online. After looking at a bunch of "Get Rich Quick" schemes and sites on the net, I realized that I was wasting a lot money on rubbish applications which would never help me to achieve my goal.

I had tried everything from pyramid marketing schemes, forex trading robots and even affiliate marketing techniques which did not work for me. It was then that I realized that I was making other people rich by remaining ignorant. This was what the experts and gurus where capitalizing on and in the process they where costing me a lot of money which I did not actually have at the time.

Then the most amazing thing happened and I stumbled onto a web site which offered to teach me how to build my own website without needing any prior experience or programming skills and they were willing to do this absolutely for FREE!

I could not believe it, something on the net of value for FREE! So I immediately signed up for the Build A Web course and suddenly I began to see the light at the end of the tunnel and this time it was not a train!

Well, I think that is enough for tonight, so I will post again tomorrow. Please do me a favor and post a comment if you are reading this as it will help me to want to continue putting in the time to publish this blog.

Enter the Kaizen Principle

Well, the next step down the road to overcoming my panic attacks and beginning a new and fulfilled life which is full of potential and self confidence was to find myself a program or course which would help me to obtain the correct mindset and outlook on life so as to begin my journey towards being the best that I can be.

I came across the work of a man called Dr. Hannes Dreyer and I must say that this was definately the beginning of a very big turning point in my life. Dr Hannes Dreyer is what is called a Wealth Creator and has an unquenchable desire to add value to the lives of others who are willing to learn and are looking to be free of the stesses of being a slave to society.

He had the most amazing and life transforming course available which I believe is able to change the mindset and life of anybody who follows it definately for the best. This course is called the Kaizen Challenge and comes with the most inspiring information and audio guided mental exercises which will without a doubt change anybody's outlook on life no matter what their state of mind is.

I started following the course and mental exercises and let me tell you frankly, it is definately a very dynamic, easy to follow and effective self discovery course which is sure to change your life forever within 49 lessons which take no more than 30 minutes of your time every day. Even once the course is over, you will be sure to still make use of the mental exercises on a daily basis even long after you have completed the course.

Not only did the mental exercises which he gives in the Kaizen course help me to become far more focused, motivated and knowledgeable of myself, but they too played a big part in my ability to overcome my anxiety and panic attacks.

Well, I guess that is all for today, so please join me again tomorrow for my next update.

Further into the Mindset Journey

So as I said yesterday, I realized that I would need to change my mindsets before any changes I made in my life would have any significant impact or permanent effects on my quality of life or the stress levels which were resulting in my panic attacks.

I was still getting frequent chest cramps and difficulty breathing due to my anxiety or panic attacks and this was still very worrying to me as I was also beginning to develop a lot of other mental and physical panic attack symptoms which were beginning to impact on my life in a variety of ways:

• I was becoming more and more anxious on a continuous basis which caused my stress to increase and my irritability levels were going through the roof
• I was becoming more and more hesitant to do anything which I felt would bring on an attack.
• The smaller things in life started to become enormous issues.
• Believe me, this list can go on and on!

The more I became aware of these changes happening in my life and the stress and tension it was putting on both myself and my family, the more my desire and need to be able to overcome it became paramount to me.

All of a sudden things which I thought I had done away with years ago mentally began coming back to haunt me all over again and add more weight to the burden which this anxiety and panic was burdening me with.

It was then that someone very close to me noticed that I was heading on a downward spiral and made a suggestion that I should perhaps begin to try and reduce the effects of this anxiety by using a yoga technique called the Bagha.

He gave me an audio copy of the Bagha exercise to use and listen to, this was a shot (aprox. 15 min) guided instructional meditation which uses various sound frequencies to alter your mind state from a normal conscious one to one where the subconscious mind is far more open to suggestion.

Then while in this mind state ( similar to that achieved by Monks in deep meditation ) you are told how to create an anchor point to bring you back to this relaxed state anytime after your have finished the exercise - I chose pressing my tongue against the roof of my mouth as it was something I would be able to do no matter where I was or what I was doing without anybody being able to see what I was doing.

Once I had finished the exercise for the first time, I waited for a couple of hours and then forced myself into an anxious situation, when I tried using my anchor point, lo and behold I could immediately feel myself relaxing and becoming calm once again.

This was amazing as it helped me beyond belief and the more I did the Bagha Exercise, the more effective it became. It has now very much become part of my daily life and has made the world of difference to me. Who ever thought that such a powerful mental tool could be so easy to use.

This truly was the beginning down my path to a journey of never ending self discovery and improvement. I hope to see you all again tomorrow as I take you even further down my never ending path of self discovery.

Sorry I am a Day Late

Well I am a day late with my next post, but really things have got really hectic of late, almost to the point of another possible panic attack. Luckily I now have the techniques and methods for controlling that possibility under the belt and am able to take the pressure in my stride.

In any case as I was saying in my previous post, the onset of my sudden, unexpected and very frightening panic attack shocked me into realizing that my stress levels were extremely high and affecting me mentally and definitely very physically without me even realizing that it was happening.

I had a new born baby in the house and a very loving wife and I felt it was my duty to them and myself to get this situation under control as quickly as possible.

I started weighing up my options and decided that I needed to stop chasing after money for the purpose of survival in a field which I had no interest in and turn my focus to something which could bring in the money and which I would be able to love and enjoy at the same time.

Thus began quite a bit of soul searching and self realization. I had always had a passion for writing and decided to look for ways that I would be able to use this passion and make money at the same time.

It would be a large leap of faith, but luckily I had a very supportive family standing behind my decisions and encouraging me all the way. So I started looking around on the Internet and found some very interesting opportunities and philosophies (like the Kaizen Principle).

It was only now that I began to realize that I would need to get my mindsets right before I could even think of beginning to make any definite and meaningful changes in my life, luckily I would only need to do this one small step at a time to see major results.

But more on this tomorrow, until then be safe and do your best to be the best you can. Fear nothing but fear itself!

Anxiety Affects us All!

Most of my life I never gave anxiety and panic much thought as I always saw myself as a very up beat and confident person. I never showed any of the typical symptoms of anxiety disorders and felt that it really had no influence over me.

It was not until one night in my kitchen that I began to get the most intense pain in my chest which made me feel as if I was about to have a heart attack and experienced all sorts of panic emotions that it was brought to my attention how common this phenomenon is.

My wife rushed me to the emergency ward at the local hospital where I was immediately linked to various heart monitoring machines and blood was drawn for testing.

After about an hour of lying there not sure of what is happening and feeling very scared and in a lot of pain, the doctor who was assessing me came back and gave me the results.

He said to me that I had just had a very serious panic attack and that I should not be ashamed or concerned as nearly 90% of the potential heart attack cases in men that the emergency room gets turn out to in actual fact be panic or anxiety attacks.

This in a sense concerned me deeply, I was not aware that my stress levels had risen so much that they where able to trigger a reaction in me mentally which caused these physical and mental symptoms to present themselves.

I then started looking around for material on the subject of anxiety and panic attacks so as to learn more about what it is that was happening to me. I subscribed to a few forums and started to look around for any form of material which could help me to reduce this factor in my life.

Lo and behold there were literally thousands of sites which covered the topic of overcoming anxiety and panic attacks and so my quest began to find ways to overcome this disorder in a natural and healthy way.

Due to the fact that I had earlier in life discovered that I had an addictive personality I was not willing to consider the use of scheduled medication to overcome this disorder. To my horror, many of the sites all advocated the use of this type of medication, but I was not willing to put myself at risk of adverse side effects or possible dependency problems.

It was then that I came across a site which looked like it was offering the correct type of natural therapy treatments information which I was looking for.

This site was http://overcomeanxietyattacksandpanicdisorders.com/ , it was full of all number of useful articles on overcoming anxiety and panic disorders and even had a free mini course which you could subscribe to.

In my next blog I will begin documenting in more detail the journey which this anxiety or panic attack started me on and how with a couple of life and mindset changes I was able to rescue my life from emotional ruin and begin down the road to recovery and true happiness.
