How To Stop Intrusive Thoughts And Anxiety (TAKE BACK YOUR POWER!)

How to stop intrusive thoughts and anxiety for good:

What are intrusive thoughts: Intrusive thoughts are unwanted thoughts or mental images that pop up into our head without warning, at any time, and are often repetitive.

* They are brought on by the inner child/subconscious mind and are motivated by protection.
* One example is new mothers who go through intrusive thoughts of harming their own children.

Mindset - The approach towards:

1. The more significant we see the intrusive thought as the more power it has over us.
2. Do not take them personally.
3. Eliminate all negative labels towards yourself in relation to these intrusive thoughts.

Skill sets - The tools to go beyond intrusive thoughts and anxiety:

1. ‘Change The Tone’ at every opportunity.
2. Master the art of ‘cloud forming’ as mental imagery exercises.
3. ‘Breathe’ the thought out of you.

“Intrusive thoughts only become problematic when we identify with them.”

Intrusive thoughts happen when your conscience mind misinterprets the subconscious. It's supposed to be a mechanism by which the subconscious warns you of danger or a threat or something wrong. When you get an intrusive thought, it doesn't mean that the subconscious wants you to do it, it's the opposite, it wants you to avoid whatever it is in the intrusive thought.

Just when I start feeling that “hey! I did well today”, my anxiety comes back. It’s exhausting! You give me hope. A million thanks for talking to people like me.

I am not my intrusive thought... I am more than anxiety, I can live with uncertainty... these statements are powerful

[JV-NeverQuit]

My intrusive thoughts is my biggest enemy especially with health anxiety. I always think stress is literally going to kill me right on the spot. I avoid problems, confrontations, and even my negative family.

best thing that worked for me.. Meditation, jogging, cut out caffeine, and as for suplement : inositol and take gaba before bed - 2 weeks later. mind is clear

[watermelonwater]

The time thing that you mentioned is really accurate my anxiety is always worse after 5pm

[kizersmommy]

Morning, noon, and night.

I am learning how to not react to the thoughts like I have in the past.

Soo grateful for this video, I’ve had a anxiety relapse recently. Thank you thank you tuning in

[lorennmetz]

Speaking right to me, as a mom I began fearing my child’s safety constantly after the minute she was born and until recently it had taken over my life. I feel grateful for your wisdom and the progress I have made because of it 🙏

[sereenbaaklini]

My intrusive thoughts usually hit me in the morning. How about you guys?

[martinnevarez]

Thanks so much for the video. I struggle with OCD, and because of memories of when I was around 9 to 11 years old resurfacing of when I inappropriately touched 3 young girls, my anxiety blew to the roof, and these obsessive thoughts that I could be a p*do/child m0l3st0r was eating me up. And it was hurting because I am 29, and prior to 2021, I never had these thoughts overpower me. I am seeing a therapist which is helping me because I am learning to forgive myself with what I done as a kid. But this video is helpful, and I am going to take some of your pointers to help me.

Thank you So much!

I love the cloud exercise. It spoke to me a lot, it helped me detach from the thoughts and realize that I am not them. It also brought me relief to visualize the thoughts as clouds because it now makes them feel so much less real. They're not me, I am not them, they're just regular clouds passing by and I can sit and contemplate the world until they pass. Thank you for this! 🙏🏻❤

[jackfoote]

I suffer with bad health anxiety but just by watching your videos on here you have inspired me to start my journey of recovery which I never thought was possible and not going to look back now! You really are a god send, thank you so much!!

[MadHatty]

I learned today that an element of my anxiety is a fear of being anxious in front of people, and so me trying to hide my vulnerabilities and emotions from others, when I'm in public especially, just intensifies my anxious feelings! But to me it's terrifying to show people if I'm having a nervous breakdown or even just a moment of anxiety

12:21 lol. I love this. It makes it sound like the experience is not that serous and not to give it my full detrimental attention.
