Think positive thoughts... honestly.. wake up in the morning .. tell yourself how great you are and how good your life is... and you will feel the weight come off your shoulders!!! Think positively all day long.. you will start to believe the positive thoughts just like you are constantly believing the sub conscious negative thoughts!!!

Feel the Fear and Do It Anyway is a brilliant book...

The books good but I hate with a passion a tape I got of affirmations by Susan Jeffers :mad: :mad: :mad:

but the book is indeed good

Most stuff by Gael Lindenfield is pretty good too and comes without the Cheesiness of some of the American authors.

i was raised in a very negative family so negative thoughts seen to enter my mind automatically and its a real batter to change them

i can get anxiety attacks come on with no warning when im out and i get all the symptoms of fight or flight exhuastion, pounding heart, my eyes ache, legs turn to jelly,feel distant, drained but on a positive note i am facing my fears has anyone else been through this and come out the other side i had a breakdown 4 years ago and have moved slowly forward but this is doing my head in.

sounds like my upbringing - nothing but negativity comes out of my fathers mouth - from cradle to present.

I have a good book on this I must read again - called Negaholics - sadly I think it is out of print so if interested - a hunt on ebay or a specialist book dealer may be the only way to get a copy ( I used the latter method)
