Anxiety Free

I've heard it said that everyone, with every word, is selling something. And today, I am selling freedom from anxiety. What I hope for you, is that you are a responsible consumer, and choose wisely.
Freedom from anxiety does not mean denying stress or stressors when they occur. It does not mean putting one's head in the sand and saying, "everything is okay" when it clearly isn't. It also does not mean medicating an unpleasant feeling, or spending copious time analyzing that which triggered the anxiety. And it definitely does not mean labeling oneself as "anxious" or "disordered" for having experienced a garden-variety emotional state, even if you've been stuck in the thicket of panic for the last 10 years.

What freedom from anxiety does mean is taking 100% responsibility for your life. Entirely. And deciding once and for all--- to take charge of your emotional states. Because the truth is we don't HAVE anxiety, we DO anxiety (or starting today, hopefully we've DONE anxiety, as in "been there, done that").

"If you can keep your head, when all about you are losing theirs and blaming it on you..." Rudyard Kipling says, "you'll be a man my son." If you can do that, you can also be free of anxiety, because you will have taken 100% responsibility for your life.

The question that empowered, responsible, self-reliant individuals need to ask themselves is "HOW do I do that?!"

Fortunately the answer is simple. And with recollection of this principal, even EASY to implement. See, all emotional states have origins in our physiology and thinking. That is the way we stand, breathe, hold our shoulders, and the words we say to ourselves, etc. It is emotionally impossible to feel sad, for instance, while jumping up and down grinning ear to ear, telling yourself in a squeaky voice that you are magnificent. You may feel silly, but that is not the same as sad. And, it is impossible to feel anxiety while engaged in healthful physical activity (such as aerobic exercise), or when "keeping YOUR head, when all about you are losing theirs."

Regardless of the circumstances of your life, every time you engage in a healthful activity, or "keep" your own mind, you increase the percentage of time in which you feel good. The more you do each of these things, the more you practice being in control of your emotional states and a victory-cycle (opposite of the 'vicious' kind) gets established.

One of the first things one can do while "keeping" their own head is establishing a new belief like "every time I remember to change my thinking for the better, I will notice, and praise myself." You could also add the belief that "I automatically reinforce that which makes me feel good, whether I am conscious of it or not." These are for sale for less than you'd pay for psychotherapy and Prozac. In fact if you choose to take them now, they are free!

While "keeping" your mind, you can also utilize any angry thinking toward removing doubt, disbelief and self-loathing. (It's a thought anyway, with just as much validity as "this won't work for me.")

Thanks for reading my sales pitch. I personally liked freedom from anxiety so much, I bought the company.

Now, you are a comparison shopper. Choose wisely, and jump for joy in the aisles...

Simple way to avoid Cold Calling - Gary, A chiropractor I work with hates cold calling (me too!) and he uses a technique to warm people up to using his services - it's so simple! In Sales your dealing with 3 pools of people: 1. Strangers 2. Prospects 3. Returning Customers You need to move people from one pool to the next. We'll concentrate on #1 and #2 as it's most relevant to your question. My Clients does the following (you just have to tailor it to your situation - be creative). My Client (we'll call him Bob) Bob leverages his time and resources to only get people that need his offer (pain relief) to put their hand up. Dealing with Strangers can get expensive and they don't like to be told what to do as they have no trust or relationship built with him. So to get Strangers to put their hands up he writes up an offer with a free report on a particular pain relief - let's say lower back pain (note: he can simply just change lower back pain to neck pain and have a new report). and uses multiple marketing vehicles to promote the Free report - magazines, newspaper, forums, postcards, private clinics etc. The only people picking up this information are the very people Bob would like as customers as they have Lower back pain. Bob's Free report ends with him stating his services and includes a Free in-house Consultation with no obligation. You'd be surprised at how easily Bob converts Strangers into Prospects. Note: They become prospects when they ask for the Free Guide and in exchange provide their contact details. This gives Bob unlimited opportunity to contact them for the Free in-house consultation with no obligation to continue using him. At this stage Bob's ability to close the sale lies in his office providing good customer service, Bob's ability to help the prospect and provide value at the free in-house consultation. Notice, he hasn't had to pick up the phone to COLD-CALL his Stranger pool or his Prospect pool. Hope that example helps to increase your prospecting!
