LOL!!! The picture says it all!

Oh I'm so glad you picked Stress!!!! LOL...I just finnished hearing the session on it.

What do you mean no wonder i'm tired?

On the Onion post you had mentioned that you were tired, and then, I read all the work you did over here, For me that would tired me out!!!lol...

The Stress one is one I really needed to read. I need to personally work on all of the things you posted, starting with the 1st one.
They are very good, and I thank you for posting them. Keep writing them, and sharing them. They are very motivating! Maybe you could do a morning read! Each morning we could recieve 1 daily thought! I'd buy it!!!

I'm printing this one too!
P.S. I just noticed you put pictures up on all the others...GREAT! I like the lion / mirror one too!

Oh and I hope you have all these things down in a journal, and I would maybe talk to those at the mid west center first, as you have been using this program. See what kind of things they may offer you or direct you to, Then or both, take it to a publisher, maybe a local paper, many pay for your weekly posts. Just a few quick thoughts.

Ya it did tire me out and I also realized that when i write stuff down i do it in a rushed way and that tires me out even more. I'm learning to take my time with things.

Hmm 1 daily thought...perhaps. Are you meaning like one affirmation a day or something?

Yes i thought you would notice that, It just makes things more appealing.

I have an affirmation book that I have made ya. I think i will call Carolyn and talk to her. That would be awesome to publish actually. I would have to come up with my own affirmations for the scripts i got from the book but i could do that. I'm already starting to think of revising some of my affirmations that aren't on here yet.

I have a total of 17 or 18 scripts now and the big one is about to be dropped here!

Here it is, after a really long wait...here is the script for ANXIETY!!!!

<IMG class="inline_image" ALIGN="left" SRC="http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9 ... VD9jNXW5Y=">

I know that panic and anxiety are in my control. The only person who can cause it is me and I am the only person that can stop it. I choose not to create panic in the first place

I am always in control of my body and mind. Its not possible to lose control or go insane when I'm anxious

I do not over react to anxiety, I accept it, I calm myself down with breathing and realistic self-talk, I float through it and I face what is making me anxious

Anxiety cannot last for more than a few hours at best but facing it lasts forever. The more afraid I am, the more accomplished I feel and the more my self-esteem grows.

Dizziness, bewilderment, confusion and feelings of unreality do not scare me. I know that this is my body telling me that I am overwhelmed. I respond by calming myself down with relaxation and realistic self-talk.

I get excited to face my limitations because that means I grow and become even stronger. It does not matter if I act or look goofy while I do it

I know that anxiety is distracting, so it is understandable to look or act goofy and that is alright.

Everybody has anxiety and everybody acts goofy at times, its no big deal. One mistake does not ruin the greater whole

I do not care about the negative thoughts of others. I am not a mind reader and I know their thoughts bare no weight on my life, my self-esteem, my attitude or behavior. They are only thoughts and nothing more.

Anxiety is just an uncomfortable feeling. There is no real danger, this feeling is generated by my thoughts therefore, I am in control all the way.

I do the things I want to do. I do not let anxiety keep me stuck. I do not need to distract myself with anything. I live life to the fullest.

The past does not equal the future.

I accept and handle change with a positive and excited attitude. I focus on the benefits and Imagine the best possible outcomes.

Change makes me stronger, more confident and more satisfied.

Change gives me the chance to become more passionate, more excited, more joyous and more secure.

I am recovered from depression and I can handle anxiety very well. I am very well respected and loved, I am so passionate about life and the opportunities it has for me.

Socializing is something I easily do. I am at ease when I start conversation with strangers in lines, at parties or anywhere. I am very secure about who I am

I do the things that I don't like to do but that need to get done and I feel great after I do them.

I am in control of my actions and what I agree to do for others. I do not let anybody else manipulate or take advantage of me. I respect my limitations.

I handle problems as soon as I can. It makes me more relaxed and I enjoy everything else alot more than if I put it off

I do not have to want to do somehting In order to do it. I focus on the benefits of doing it and how good I will feel. I do everything I can in order to feel good.

I never feel guilty if i have to quit a job, move or end a bad relationship in order to take care of myself or if things just don't workout. I do what I need to in order to take care of myself.

When I start to do something that needs to get done, I immeditately feel better while I'm doing it. I know I'm getting it done and respecting myself as well as working towards the sense of accomplishment and joy I will get by finishing it

I'm safe, I'm comfortable, I'm relaxed and I am calm.

I quickly calm myself down anywhere I am or in any situation that makes me anxious or stressed. The more I practice the relaxation cd, the quicker I can do it.

I am not scared of fear. When I feel afraid I say to it "come on fear is that the best you can do." (This is T Bones's line)

I call my panic spongebob and I imagine it to look like spongebob and act like spongebob. Its funny like spongebob and makes me do funny things. (this only works if you know what spongebob is)

What a GREAT picture! LOL...

So glad your learning to take your time with things, it feels so much better, and you actually get a sense of feeling good while your doing something.

Yea, I'm thinking like - this months topic is STRESS. So each day you would get 1 - 5 days a week.

I know that panic and anxiety are in my control. The only person who can cause it is me and I am the only person that can stop it. I choose not to create panic in the first place

( that one is very good, by the way.)
OR if your doing a book, January 1,2,3 each day one thing to read.
Feb. Topic could be Anger ect...

just a thought?

I absoultuly love your pictures.LOL....
I printed out the Anxiety one as well. That picture should be on the cover of Lucindas program! LOL....

Man, they are all really good, I can't even pick out one in the bunch that is my favorite, there are many.

Great Job, Mike!

Thanks for posting them!!!

Yeah that is an awesome picture i found while doing a google search.

Yes i am feeling a little more satisfied but it will take awhile to fully incorporate the change. I just wrote the affirmations for it yestaurday and I somewhat feel it today but not as much as some of the other things. It is changing though and i'm excited for that because that rushed feeling doesn't feel good at all. I felt trapped like i was in a cage and forced to do things that i didn't want to do and you are right what you said in the onion thread where you finish something and you have time for yourself and are already planning what to do next or even taking action without resting in between. I have done that so much and I hate it!!!!!

That is a good idea. I don't have that many affirmations per topic but i could figure something out. I could also take each affirmation i have and do 1 a day and expand on it. Meaning I could talk about the benefits of that affirmation and what it could mean to impliment it into ones life. That would be alot less overwhelming for others to collect the affirmations and write them down plus it keeps the motivation going so yes very good idea thank you.

As for the book I was thinking about affirmations like that but I don't feel right about just doing an affirmation book itself. There are so many affirmation books out there, I don't just want another one. I want something more, something that catches more attention.

I had a talk with my great aunt and talked to her about either writing a book of affirmations or writing about my life and having the affirmations in it and we both decided the 2nd to be the better choice. My life has been really amazing and many people can relate to alot of the things i have went through. This will open people up to the ideas of affirmations and will be more effective in getting them to believe that affirmations actually work. I can also talk about my old belief systems and relate them to my life and talk about the consequences of those ones and then put the affirmations there to replace those old thoughts right there in the book. So I'd be working with the idea of Tony Robbins's main idea how we motivate ourselves with pain and pleasure. How we push pain away and seek pleasure. This will be shown by consequence and benefit. I would be utilizing the idea of thought replacement from the program because i'll give my old beliefs and replace them with the affirmations. I'll also have affirmations there that target things like need for approval from others or the need for love to have worth as well as the worth associated with accomplishments which i've read from David D Burns's feeling good book and i'll also throw in affirmations and ideas inspired by my training in Tao Shiatsu which is like buddhist theories and principals.

Ya there really are alot of good ones. Its a toss up between stress one, guilt and expectations. Oh and the newest one i made for the general negative thoughts which i'm just about to put up.

This script is a very important one as well. This is the Generalize affirmation script. It is used to counter the most automatic thoughts like I can't, I'm not good enough and so on. Enjoy.
<IMG class="inline_image" SRC="http://colon-3.com/cmx/20090208a-generalize-things.jpg">

I can't do it

I don't need to do things perfect. I feel satisfied simply for trying regardless of the outcome

I can do it, I can do anything

Trying is doing. I do anything I attempt. If I attempt then I do, If I do then I can do

I'm not good enough

I am good enough at any point in my life and I'm good enough at whatever level I am at with a new skill. My worth is permenant and nothing can take that away.

I can't do it good enough

Perfectionism does not exist, I enjoy working and always improving. I am satisfied with my efforts. When I improve and do better, I am even more satisfed

Perfectionism is stressful, overwhelming and depressing. There is no space in my head for perfectionism.

Perfectionism is lonely and very unsatisfying. Its not enjoyable.

Perfectionism is hopeless and saps motivation. It causes guilt and a sense of inferiority.

Whenever I do something wrong I say to myself, "doing things wrong looks human, I am human, I allow myself to be human"

I am satisfied if I am even 1% effective in anything I do and I'm even more satisfied when I improve and become more effective.

I do not accept and follow other people's beliefs that I cannot do something. I enjoy proving these people wrong.

I don't have enough energy

I have alot of energy and I can handle many things

When I need more energy I get it from rest and relaxation as well as my hopeful and optimistic thoughts and feelings.

I can't do that i'll look stupid

Criticism from others only makes me stronger and reaffirms my belief that I only need approval from myself. I list to, evaluate and use criticism as motivation

People criticizing me for making mistakes are people not accepting mistakes. I say to them "I successfully made that mistake"

It's too hard

or

It's too overwhelming

When something looks too difficult or too overwhelming I ask myself, "What can I do to make this work? What can I do to make this easy?"

I am very good at breaking things into smaller pieces and I deal with those smaller pieces instead of the whole thing at once.

I make small goals out of the big ones. Small goals are easy and build on top of each other. Big goals deal with themselves.

I handle 1 moment at a time so I am not overwhelmed.

I keep in mind what I need to do but I spend most of my focus on the benefits of doing what I need to.

It's too difficult

Things are as difficult as I believe them to be. I see difficulty as a fun challenge that I know I can handle and I see simple tasks as easy.

Typing, walking, talking, phoning, cleaning and things that don't require lots of thinking are very easy and I do them easily.

I'm too anxious

I see anxiousness as an opportunity to feel amazing. I confront whatever gives me anxiety and I feel very empowered.

I'm too tired

I'm alert and awake. I always have enough energy to do the things that need to get done. I pace myself if I have to.

There's not enough time

There is lots of time in my day. I take my time to enjoy everything I do.

I leave rushing only to real emergencies where someone is hurt or I am at risk for losing something very significant.

I do not rush to get everything done at once. I spread out my goals evenly.

I take my time to accomplish goals and I get lots accomplished.

I do as much as I can do comfortably in a day.

I live my life at a comfortable pace, I do not rush. Life is very long and I have plenty of time to do what I want.

I can't remember good enough

I have alot of great ideas and I remember them because they are so good.

I am very good at recalling anything I've thought, experienced or felt in any situation.

Mike

I like your style!

The quotes are a great touch. All of these affirmations are really good. To really make them useful, I would have to meditate on each one (like each session in the program) in order to get the most out of them. And too put them into practice. You have given alot of good reading for a long time to this forum.

Its good that your feeling the difference between calm, creative energy & rushed gotta do everything now, and how different you feel. I know for myself I love my days when I can stay relaxed and focused. I know not every day can be but it is better to strive for that then feel like your day is a blurrrr!

I like you & your Aunts choice! I bet it will be interesting. I say go for it!

Here is one I made up...

Wor'ry (WUR'I): im-ag'i-na'tion in the wrong di-rec'tion.

I kind of read them like a robot. I kinda focus on them a bit and not so much and I still feel them. I have put one of them one audio and might be able to send it if you want. I have added effects where it sounds like I inhaled helium just before speaking them all. I find that I just automatically do them for the most part. The rushing I struggle with to change though and the sleep and relaxation as well but the others seem to come naturally.

I was still feeling rushed today but not as rushed and yes your right it does feel good. I can't wait to see how i feel tomorrow when i focus on not rushing then too. Ya i guess the rushing does make things feel blurry because you are more focused on the rushing thoughts then the activities your doing.

It will take some time but I think it will be great.

Maryln

That is a really good one. I never actually thought about it but you are definately right!

I think i'm almost finished posting up all the scripts i have. Maybe it would be a good idea to start that Idea of yours THH and post one of the affirmations a day and then expand on it.
