Hi Fischee. I totally agree too with your accupuncurist. I don't think it's safe to have a blank mind..
I'm glad you like the "oops, I forgot...." because I had never heard of using this phrase before either! This lady does seminars on panic attacks and I just thought it was very clever too. I find when I say that it helps me to stop obsessing about my particular worry. You can even add a positive affirmation after that phrase. Like "Oops, I forgot, I am over that now. I AM a great sleeper and have no trouble falling asleep. " and then maybe add a scripture verse like "Perfect Love casts out all fear"...
Your mentor's comments are true. I remember Joyce Meyer saying that same exact thing. She says that sometimes she feels fear.. she trembles, her heart races but she just does it despite how she feels. I suppose the more you keep doing it, it becomes a habit and those feelings don't seem to carry so much weight..
But definitely, I think the key is to be OK with feeling uncomfortable. This is where I
have trouble and in the past fought with having them. I guess people who don't have panic attacks don't fight their uncomfortable feelings, they don't fear them. I think that's where we get trapped..
