In reading and watching youtube presentations about Anxiety, Panic, and Depression (because lets face it, I chickened out on making my appointment YET again) I came across another young guy touting his success as beating these "tigers" and giving some good advice, while holding back enough to have a "program" for sale.
One of his freebies was NO CAFFEINE.. and I've been a believer and practicer of this for about a year.
Another was the very simple idea of "Be OK with whatever happens". I have had this idea FOREVER. Mostly out of frustration, you naturally get to your "F-IT" threshold. And I'll tell you, it works... somewhat, and temporarily.
So I had occasion to get excited yesterday and I start thinking... I don't care, whatever, screw it.. etc. And it works. It staves off a panic attack or any higher anxiety pretty decently. But I got to thinking some more, and decided that I'm FAKING. I'm forcing myself into a 'I don't care' attitude because I'm still resisting panic and anxiety, yet though I fake, it is working quite decently.
So if not caring WORKS.. real or implied.. How can you get to where you REALLY don't care? You know, like we all used to be, before the "Tiger" caught us. Because really, I was just forcing this idea because I am still afraid of panic and anxiety. I can see the other side from here. How do you get to a TRUE no fear, no worries type situation? For now I guess I will keep with "Fake it to Make it" and see if I can start a new habit.
What do you think?
