Summary

#484: This week we’re talking about words to ban from your self-talk to remain free from anxiety. The words you speak become the house you live in. — Hafiz Language is the painter of our psychological experiences. If we think and talk hope, we will feel hope. But if our thoughts and dialogue are rooted in anxiety and fear, that is how we feel. We will feel anxious, we will behave anxiously and we will further grow anxiety because we are feeding it at the root.   Resources for this episode: HOW TO CALM YOUR FRAGILE MIND: Finding freedom from unwanted thoughts We often receive questions in our inbox asking us to teach more about working with unwanted thoughts and painful emotions. And also receive regular requests for more information on Ayurveda and its teachings on calming the mind - this is the course where we go in-depth into both subjects. Discover how to use your senses to calm your mind Feel the Emotional Stress Release Technique dissolving worry from the forefront of your mind Follow a guided EFT Tapping Practice for honoring and soothing your emotions Experience our Guided Ayurvedic Meditation for finding peace in the present moment   I listened to a sample of How to Calm Your Fragile Mind. I cried. I cried because it made more sense than any medical practitioner I’ve met in my 38 years. Your words instantly helped. Thank you. - Nadene   Special offer: Save 25% through the end of February with the coupon code: peace Visit anxietyslayer.teachable.com to know more

This week we're talking about words to ban from your self-talk if you want to remain free from anxiety.

0:47.1

I'm glad that we're doing this because this is actually a subject we haven't talked about and it's

0:52.1

incredibly supportive to learn how to manage

0:55.9

yourself. Absolutely and with anxiety it can be particularly forceful the voices that

1:00.9

come into our head and the dialogue that comes into our head comes in with a

1:04.8

pretty powerful energy sometimes and we end up at the mercy of it rather than

1:09.6

realizing that there are things we can do to change these thoughts and words that break in.

The words you speak become the house you live in.

1:25.0

Isn't that the truth?
